CONDUCTOR KILLED AT PHILADELPHIA Union anil Non-Union Trolley Men Engage In Fatal Rioting. Philadelphia, May 3. John McGuc kin, aged 36. of this city, a union con ductor, was shot and instantly killed during a fight between union and non union motormen and conductors near the Frankford and Lehigh avenus barn of the Philadelphia Rapid Trim alt company. Victor Farroll. aged 21. a non-union man from Washington, D. C, admits firing the fatal shot, but maintains that he shot in self-defense. He held without ball to await the action of the coroner. According to Farrell and his friends they were returning home about 1 clock In the morning when they were set upon by a crowd of union aympathUers, and were being badly beaten when Farrell pulled s revol ver from his pocket and fired. Mc Guckin'8 body was found lying on the street by a policeman. Farrell and his friends, who bore marks of the conflict, were arrested at the car barn. Hugh R. Thomas and Kugene Winters, formerly of Washington; Samuel Woodward of Baltimore, and Joseph B. Cummins of San Francisco ere held In ball as witnesses. Smallpox From Europe. Cleveland, May 3. An epidemic of European smallpox has appeared In Cleveland. Thirteen cases, all chil dren, have been reported and one death has occurred. The schools of the city are being disinfected and every precaution taken to prevent a spread of the disease. According to Pr. Martin Frledrlch, city health offi cer, the disease was probably brought here by a Pole three months ago and In whose family the first case oc curred. Bill For Relief of A. G. Vanderbllt. Washington.

It appropriates $2fiT. to reimburse Mr. Vanderbllt for injuries to his yacht Caprice sustained in a collision with naval dredge near Newport, R. I., on May 31, 1907. Doctor Shoots Himself. Klttannlng, Pa., May 3. Despond ent over a prolonged Illnes3, Dr. A. P. N. Painter, 49 years old, one of the best known physicians In Armstrong county, fatally shot himself, the bul let from a 2 calibre revolver enter ing the left breast over the heart. An Unexpected Cheek. A man who won a reputation for cool daring and almost eccentric fearless' ness along a thousand miles of the southwestern border was A. L. Tar- rrtt, at one time a sergeant in Me- Nelly's company of Texan rangers, One night In 1873, about six months after Parrott left the state service, he -was sitting In a house In a little town In southwest Texas playing chess with a friend. It was a warm night, and the chesslionrd was on a table close to an open window. Farrott had the white men. Ills queen was in a direct line with the black king, but a black knight was between the two pieces. It was Tarrott's move. Suddenly there was a sharp report outside, and a bullet whls tied in through the window, hit the black knight and burled Itself In the wall. Farrott had been bending over the board, and the bullet was evidently Intended for his head. But for a few seconds he did not Btlr. lie saw the black knight suddenly vanish. Then In his peculiar drawling, hesitating way be said, "Check:" SPECULATING ON MARGIN. American and English Way of Doing It Are Very Different. In America a speculator's capital (with an exceptlou to be noted below) Is necessarily at least the size of hla inurgln In his broker's hands, though It Is to bo feared that lu only too many Instances it is just this aud nothing more. On the London Stock Kxchnngo an other method prevails which, says Moody's Magazine, It Is probable has done tnoro In the long ago past to give ptock speculation Its bad name than all the episodes of au unsavory nature which have ever occurred on Amerl cuu exchanges. In Loudon after the Inevitable introduction to a broker the new customer gives his order, but makes no deposit at all. The broker Is supposed to learn something of his new client's means and how far he should be allowed to commit himself. Twice a month the English have what they call their set tlement days. A customer long of a stork whose commitment has gone somewhat ngnlnst him Is tbeu required to pay tho differences, as they are called, between his purchase price and the current quotation. Ho must nlso pay a charge catled a contango for holding the settlement over Into the next fortnightly period If he does not wish to close the com mitment. As a consequence of this way of doing business a speculator may bo trading on a few points mar gin in reality or, In fact, on no margtu at all. He may bo utterly penniless without the broker knowing it That this method works out with fewer losses In England than it would do here Is due to the fact that the social and economic strata to which an Englishman belongs are much easier to determine than the corresponding facts among us, and nlso that an Intro duction means more there than here, as the Introducer is regarded as to a certalu extent responsible morally for the business deportmeut of his friend. It Is worth while observing (and this is the exceptlou referred to above) that lu certain Instances the methods pursued iu American stock exchange houses are the same as those obtaining In London. Little as the fact Is known, It is not an unfrcquent custom for very wealthy speculators to have uo fixed margin or even no margtu nt all with their brokers. If a man of this sort loses on a com mitment he sends his broker a check for the loss. If he wins his brokers remit to him for his gains. The bro ker dislikes to offend a very powerful client by troubling him for funds, aud bonce takes risks with his account which he would not dream of taking with the account of smaller men. In stances of this sort sometimes become public In cases where the broker Is forced Into bankruptcy, whether owing to this cause or not. Could Do For Herself. She was a very delightful but a very aged lady over nlnety-and her friends and relatives and even chance ac quaintances, drawn by her exquisite personality, nil did her homage aud, as the saying Is, "waited on her hand and foot." She accepted It all very graciously, but with some Inward rebellion, for o a very old aud close mouthed friend she ouce sold, with a quaint pucker of Hps and brows: "I am reminded sometimes of the old lines: "Twa were blowln' at her none, And three were bucklln' at her shoon. Youth's Companion. A -Word For the Tightwad. In France they have nn expressive phrase, "liquid money." It means that part of the family Income which is used for the necessities and luxuries of life. It Is quite apart from and kept apart from the more serious, sub stautlnl part of the Income, which is the saved part. In America the entire income is "liquid, and the man who at tempts to make part of it solid is called a "tightwad." A "tightwad" is really n man who creates a princl- pnl-n capital, iu other words-and he is the living example of what every private business must be and of how the country's resources should be ban died. Argonaut. Voting In Spain. Voting In Spain is held to be a duty to the community, not merely a prw liege of tho Individual, and neglect of civic obligations carries Its own pen alty. Male adults of legal age and un der seventy, with the exception of nricsts. notaries and Judges, are re quired to vote iu municipal electlous, Failure to cast a ballot is punishable by having one's uame published as censure for neglect, by having taxes lucrensed 2 per cent, by suffering deduction of 1 per cent In salary if employed In the public service and for the second offense the loss of right to hold elective or nppolutlve oftlce. Hit Landscapes. A nouveou rlche recently attended picture sale. A friend who bad noticed htm nt the sale asked afterward, "Did you pick up anything nt that picture sale, Jorklusr aud the other respond ed: "Oh. yes: a couple of landscapes, One of 'em was a basket of fruit and the other a storm at sea," Public Penance. In former times persons guilty of grievous and notorious offenses were required to make open confession and, further, to make satisfaction for the scandal given by their bad example by doing penance publicly In 0 white sheet in their parish church. The sheet was used to show clenrly to every one Which was the offender. The last time that public penance was done In an English church was on Sunday even ing, July 30, 1882, when a man named Uartree, In the church of All Saints, East Clevedon, ninde nn open confes, slon of Immorality and promised to perform the penance thus imposed on him by the vicar. No white sheet was used on this occasion. The last case lu which one was used appenrs to have been one In St. Bridget's church, Ches ter, in 1851, but on that occasion tho penance wns not public, the church door lielng locked. In the previous year, however, public penance In a white sheet was done In a country church In Essex, and a similar thing occurred In Dltton church, near Cam bridge, in lSIO.-Stray Stories. GUN COTTON. A Peoullar Characteristic of This Ter rible Explosive. Many and odd are the muterluls en tering Into the manufacture of modern explosives, but peruups the most Inter esting of nil these elements of destruc tion ns well as tho simplest is gun cot ton. Tho guu cotton manufacturing In dustry Is largo, as enormous quantities are used In the charging of torpedoes and for similar purposes. The base of gun cotton is puro raw cotton or even cotton waste, such ns Is used to clean machinery. This is steep ed In a solution of one part of nitric and three parts of sulphuric acid. It Is the former Ingredient that renders tho mass explosive, tho sulphuric acid be ing used merely to absorb all moisture, thus permitting the nitric acid to com- blue more readily with the cellulose of the cotton. After being soaked for several hours i tho solution described the cottoti passed between rollers to expel all nonnbsorbed acid, a process carried to completion by washing the cotton in clear water. This washing process Is a long one, requiring machinery which reduces the cotton to a mass resem bling paper pulp. Should any uouab sorbed add be allowed to remain It would decompose the cotton. If the explosive Is to be used after the manner of powder It is still fur ther pulverized and then thoroughly dried, but If Intended for torpedoes It is pressed into cakes of various shapes nd sizes disk shnped. cylindrical, line squares and cubes. When not com pressed gun cotton Is very light, as light as ordinary batting. A peculiar characteristic of this ter rible explosive Is that a brick of it w hen wet may be placed on a bed of hot coals, and ns the moisture dries out he cotton will flake and burn quietly. if dry originally, however, the gun cot ton will explode with terrible forco at ubout 320 degrees of bent. I u general It Is the custom to ex plode gun cotton by detonation or an intense shock Instead of by bent, in a torpedo the explosive chnrge is wet, this wet cotton being exploded by menus of dry cotton iu n tube, this barlug been flretl by a cap of fulmi nate of mercury, the cap Itself having been fired by the tnipnct of the torpedo against the target. Harper's Weekly. UNDER THE OCEAN. Things That Happen at the Bottom of the Sea. Naturalists dispute ns to the quantity of light nt the bottom of the sea. Ani mals from below 700 fathoms either have no eyes or faint Indications of them, or else their eyes are very largo and protruding. Another strange thing is that lr tne creatures In the lower depths have any color It Is orange or red or reddish orange. Sea anemones, cornis, sunuips and crabs have this brilliant color. Sometimes It Is pure red or scnrlet, and In many specimens It Inclines to ward purple. Not a green or blue fish Is found. The orange red Is the llsh's protec tion, for the bluish green light In the bottom of the ocean makes the orange or the red fish appear of a neutral tint aud hides It from Its enemies. Many animals are black, others neutral in color. Some ttsli are provided with boring tails, so that they can burrow In the mud. The surface of the suhnmrliio moun tain Is covered with shells, like nu or dinary scabeacb, showing that It Is the feasting place of vast shoals of car nivorous nnlmnls. A codfish takes a whole oyster Into Its mouth, crncks the shell, digests the meat and ejects tho shell. Crabs crack the shells and suck out the meat. This accounts for whole mounds of shells that are often found. Not a fishbone Is ever found that Is not honeycombed by tho boring shellfish and falls to pieces nt the touch of the hand. This shows what destruction Is constantly going on lu these depths. If a ship sinks nt sea with all on board it will be cntcn by fish, w ith tho exception of the metal, and that will corrode and disappear. Not a bone of a human body will remain after a few days.
