It is still confidently predicted that at least 10,000 will arrive before the end of the week.

Supreme Court Rules Against Secre tary of American Sugar Co. Washington, May 3. The Uuited States supreme court dismissed the. writ of error granted to Charles R. Ilelke, secretary of the American Su gar company, who was Indicted for complicity In sugar weighing frauds. IToIke claimed immunity from prose cution because he has previously given testimony before the grand Jury in an other proceeding which was under the Sherman antitrust law, and when that plea was denied by the trial court brought the writ of error In question. Ilelke must now go to trial. The court, in an opinion by Justice Day. takes the ground that no writ of error would lie in the case because It was not a final judgment In the case, as tho law specified and therefore dis missed It. Subsequently, on the suggestion of Solicitor General Rowers that the trial of Ilelke. which had been deferred on account of (he allowance of the writ of error, was now fixed for Mny 10. the court ordered tho mandate to Issue nt once so that the trial could proceed.

From Sir John Lubbock wo tike this ennobling thought: "You may see In a shallow pool either the mud lying at the bottom or the Image of the bluo sky above." Collecting an Old Debt. The other day the manager of n fur- tuture house in town asked one of his star salesmen to collect n bill of long standing, for which the regular col - lector had been unable to get cash, i lie manager toiu tits man to threaten a lwsult If necessary. The salesman Bald 1,0 would collect it without that nud went to the delinquent's ofllce. Ho put the bill lu the band of his derby hat, and with the hat held nonchalant - ly in his left hand lie strolled into the inner shrine. The man nt the desk looked at him Inquiringly and then t glanced down at the conspicuous bill. "Well, what is it?" he naked. "Pardon me," said the salesman in j his best manner, "but could you tell me Is Mr. Jones dead?" I "Why, no: I'm Mr. Jones." "Thank you. That's all I wauted to know," said the salesman nnd walked ! abruptly from the room. Next day a check came for the i amount New York Sun. Saving the Union. Until wo had a national game It was slUy, according to Ellis Parker Butler in Success Magazine, to speak of the loose group of states as a nation. The people had too much time lu which to talk politics, und whenever they talked politics they became angered, and whenever they were angered they wanted to secede or knock spots off each other. Thero was no ono great unifying spirit. There was too much "Maryland, My Maryland," and "Van keo Doodle" nnd not any "Casey at tho Bat." All the animus that Is now di rected nt tho umpire class was allow ed to foment into sectional feeling. A man from Baltimore nud a man from Boston could not meet and talk in curves; they had to talk slaves. Im agine the benighted state of society!

Some years ago a big planter In tho Congo abandoned a rubber tract of scvArnl hundred miles which had bo coine Infested with the parasite of Hk region. All the trees drooped and dl(-d down (o the roots? only thoio surviving. Part of the trunk under tho Inner bark continued to yield the rubber milk, as usual, but the lluid was found to be thoroughly poisoned nnd apparently useless. A visit to the abandoned tract sonio years after tho blight had fallen showed, to the amazement of tho owner, that the trees had taken on a new ijfc, when the milk was tested he found that It made rubber of a superior quality, nnd now brings tho highest price in tho market. Apparently nature had revolted against the 'destructive In sects and with their pol3on tho trees had inoculated themselves nga.ist further aflllctlon of the kind. Industry Aiding Science. Tho debt of Industry to science has often, and very properly, been pro claimed: but now the roverso is an nounced. Tho National Electric Lamp Association has established at Clove land a physical laboratory, which tho director. Dr. E. P. Hyde, declares has for its object tho development of sci ence rather than tho improvement of an industrial commodity.' In this re spect it differs from the many labora tories that have in recent years ben established In connection with large manufacturing concerns. Among the objects of research will bo the laws of radiation and tho radiant properties of matter, and the effects of light and its attendant phenomena on tho oyc, tlte skin, and microscopic organlms. A corps of investigators is being formed. The Englishman in a Groove. In Kngland nine-tenths of the lads of the middle classes look forward to nothing more than r. seat at an office desk with a certain number of shi -l!r'.;j a week for a certain number o years. To attempt to do anything else would be to run the risk of so Ul ostracism. A young man may loaf re spectably on his family. But he ni-'U on no account start a business ir ir involves selling nnything or iirodutn ; nnything with his hands. That wol.J be bad form. It would be getting o side the groove. Thus for the grei. mass of the people England holds no romance. The lad who thinks lie could do something is discouraged. Every class distinction :s so definite ly marked. The whole weight of pub lic opinion is against the smallest di vergence from the ordinary rule. Air-Springs. Mr. Archibald Sharp described at a recent meeting of the Institution of Automobile Engineers in London his system of air-springs for road vehicles. As applied to the saddle pillar of a bicycle, the apparatus consists essen tially of a vertical cylinder with a pis ton or plunger, made to work alr-tig'.it by a specially constructed "mitten." and supporting the weight of the rider. The same device has been applied to motor-cycles, and experiments havo been made with a light motor-car. On the front fork of a heavy motor-cycle the "life" of tho "mitten" covered from .2,000 to 5,000 miles, but on a back spring fork it was only equiva lent to 1.000 miles. The effect of tho air-springs is described as- luxuriously comfortable. Fortunately Situated. Mrs. Hammond was willing to pay n fair price for work, but she did not intend to be cheated. "I should like to know how it happens that your boy Terry charges me fifty cents for mow ing my lawn, when he does Mrs. Por ter's, and there is no reason why 'lie should bo twice as long mowing it." j ..Well ,10VVi as to tnat, ma'am," said , Mr Halloran, transferring his gaze to ller gi0ves, "you seo Mrs. Porter's 1 house faces the baseball grounds, and j glle j,Ire8 Terry always of a Wedues- dny or a Saturday to come to her place at one o'clock, ma'am, and the game begins at half past two, d'ye rpo?

Tho passage indicated is not from Kant, but may be found in James Martineau's "Study of Religion." and in full reads as follows. "The rule of right, the symmetries of chnracter, tho requirements of perfection, aro no provincialisms of this planet; they are known among tho stars; they reign beyond Orion and tho Southern Cross; they aro wherever tho Univer sal Spirit is, and no subject mind, though it fly on our track forover, can escapo beyond their bounds."

"IIS" T 1 Liberal Defeats Prohibition ist In Alabama. ANTI-COMER MOVEMENT WINS. Demoorals at Primaries Name Emmett O'Neal For Governor Nomination Means Election In That State and "Dry" Organization's Deathknell. Montgomery, Ala., May 3.-Emmett O'Neal, local optlonist, has beaten II. S. D. Mullory, statewide prohibitionist nnd friend of the late defeated prohibi tion amendment, in the rneo for tho Democratic nomination for govemoi The victory for O'Neal also means that tho state lias returned to liberal Ism In Its attitude toward corporations and railroads as well as the liquor question. There is not the slightest doubt but that the result means a re turn to the open sale of liquors la Montgomery, Mobile and Birmingham and possibly other towns, with the further almost certain resumption of dispensaries In most of the towns which had them prior to November. 1007. For four years the slate has been In the grip of ngltators, led by Governor H. II. Coiner, who went In as au oppo nent of the railroads nnd the corpoia- tlons and later on as the champion of all that had to do with tho rigid con trol of tlie sale and manufacture of liquor of all kinds. O'Neal Is the leader of the ant! Comer movement, as such an Issue as that of prohibition. The result at the primaries follows the successful fight against the prohibition amendment Inst fall, when the fight was led by O'Neal, who at tho time seemed to be following a lost cause. BAKERS' STRIKE GROWS. Betweon 5,000 and 6,000 Breadmakers Now Out. New York, Mny a. It Is estimated that between n.OOO and 0,000 bakers have Joined the strike of breadninkers In New York and surrounding towns. The scarcity of bread Is beginning to cause considerable hardship. The famine was first felt nt hotels and restaurants, but now the home supply has been so decreased as to cause housewives deep uneasiness and long hunts for loaves in homes where the art of breadmaklng hos been neg lected. Rioting by striking bakers und sym pathizers, who were led by women, around their big baking plant at Eighty-fifth street and East End ave nue, and the prospect of being unable to till any of the orders for bread caused the Flelsclimtini- Raking com pany to transfer their rders to the bakeries of Chris FrerliJi & Co. and John Sehninlz & Sons, loboken. with the result that 3.V) iiimi employed by the two Iloboken firms walked out rather than bake for the Fleischmnnns. During the rioting n woinnn slapped the face of Otto Flelschniann. She was fined $10 In the police court. The fight between employee and em ployer threatens to become n long drawn out one. The master bakers de clare they will not submit to the de mands of tho unions nnd that they will fill their shops with nonunion men. Steps have already been taken by the firms affected to do this.

Mayor Shank has declared war on the rich of this city who doMiot pay all their taxes and has started an Investigation which he thinks will fill the treasury and make borrowing hereafter unneces sary. Ho says there would be no trouble If the rich would pay taxes like the man who has only n little household furni ture, nnd he determined that they shall do so. "It is not the poor man who objects to pnylng his lawful amount of taxes," said Mayor Shank. "It Is the wcnltltler class, and I purpose to bring nbout a change:" He gnve it as Ills belief that the city Is annually cheated out of many thou sands of dollnrs by the class thnt owns considerable property, while the com paratively poor man Is assessed In full. Figure It Out For Yourself. If you want a hard rase there is tho case of a man who late at night bought a bottle of whisky nt a public house price, 3s. (id. - says tho London Globe. He handed over a Ave pound note, and tho publican would not chnnge it. "Ail right," said the cus tomer. "Give mo the whisky and 10s. (id. and keep my live pound note." Next morning the customer came lu, planked down four sovereigns and said, "Give mo back my live pound note and we shall be straight." The publican and the sinner looked at each other. Can you tell nt a glance which got the better of the bargain when the customer went away with his five pound note in ills pocket? The question puzzled a whole office full of literary, financial, sporting, philosophical and editorial men until it readied a girl of eighteen who is en gaged in dealing with cash. All the rest were calculating on paper and reaching the result by devious ways. The cash girl saw it in a Hash of the rye. Do you? Shut your oyea and do It in live secouds if you wish to beat tho cash girl. A Roast. "It takes Freddie so long to make up his mind." "Why should It? He has almost no material to work on."
