Pennsylvania's Capitol.
Pennsylvania recently erected
the linest state capitol to he fomul
anywhere in the Union, at the rea
sonable cost of $4,550,000. It is
more elegant in design and finish
than Massachusetts capitol in Bos
ton, which cost nearly 87,000,000,
or the New York capitol at Albany
which cost $24,000,000. This
beautiful building, in every way
suitable for tlie purpose for which
it was intended, and of which the
people may be justly proud, was
built entirely by funds already in
the treasury, and no fresh taxes
were levied for its construction.
There was no fraud in the erec
tion of this noble building itself.
The contractors did honest work
for the price agreed upon, and
charged only a reasonable profit on
their contract; lint, the men who
supplied the furniture, fixtures and
decorations for the interior, in
league with the state officers and
architect in charge of the building
robbed the people to the amount of
three or four millions ol dollars by
enormous overcharges in payment
for the articles which they sup
plied. In some instances the
charges were from ten to twenty
times what the articles were worth.
It is astonishing that men who
were not-crazy should think they
could steal such an immense sum
and never lie detected. The guilty
men have been convicted and se
verely punished, three of them (as
it were) by the Lord himself. It
is said "The wages of sin is death."
With the door of the state prison
opening for them, with the delim
itating and depressing effect o
grief and remorse in contemplation
of their crimes, and the ever pres
ent thought day and night that in
an evil hour they had yielded to
temptation, disgraced themselves
and their families, they sickened
and died. Huston, the architect,
who has been sentenced to states
prison is trying to obtain a new
trial.

Lloyd W. Bowers Is De».d.
Solicitor General Lloyd W. flowers,
■whom Preaiteat Taft had picked for a
supremo court Justiceship, died in Bos
ton of complications arising from an
attack of bronchitis.
Solicitor Qeneral Bowers had been
111 for about a month, but it was sup
posed he had recovered.
Mr. Bowers was appointed as solici
tor general by President Taft, March
22, 1909. The appointment was one of
the first official acts of Mr. Taft as
president who had long held Mr. Bow
ers in high regard.
The first news of Mr. Bowers' illness
became generally known through a
telegram sent by Mrs. Bowers to Pres
ident Taft last Tuesday while he was
returning to Beverly from the west.
So solicitous was Mr. Taft that as soon
as he reached Boston he called at th*
hotel and found the patient so much
Improved that he was able to see him.
The physician who has attended Mr.
Bowers here said that the patient was
chatting cheerfully with his wife and
son when, suddenly, he stopped talk
ing and a moment later was dead.
The physiclau. Dr. Kredorick Cog
geshall, sped by automobile to the ho
tel on a telephone summons only to
discover that Mr. Bowers had died In
stantly of a blood clot in the heart.
I)r. Coggeshall said that the original
illness of Mr. Bowers, which took the
form of a violent cold, was duo to
overwork.
M«at Packers Indicted.
J. Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift,
Edward Morris and Edward Tllden,
the big four in the Chicago beef trust,
were by a federal grand Jury,
charged with being in a combination
In restraint of trade in violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.
In addition named in the true bills
were Arthur Meeker, of Armour &
Co.; Charles Swift and several other
men, ten in all, of lesser night In the
beef combination. The corporations
named in the recent true bill which
was found faulty by Judge Landls
weren't named. The grand Jury had
followed out the Instructions of Judge
Landls and indicted the men Instead
of the corporations.
Under section 2 of the Sherman an
ti-trust law those convicted under this
Indictment may be sent to prison for
one year, fined SSOOO, or both, In the
discretion of the court.
Trades Hi 6 Baby For Pig.
A Russian woman living near Win
nipeg, Man., gave birth to twins, but
her husband was so displeaced over
tho dual addition to his family t*iat he
promptly traded one of the babies to
aiiot her Russian for a pig.
The case came to the attention of
the authorities, and a constable forced
the father to cancel the trade, which
he had made over the bitter protests
of the mother.
It is probable that the entire fam
ily will be deported. Government offi
cials point to this case as showing a
need of reform in the divorce laws.
The woman will be deported because
of an unpardonable act of her hus
band, though public sentiment favors
letting hor remain and shipping away
the husband.
