Iou'v"o"clFrfted tile ofr"-find-made It
possible for an old fashioned banker to
breathe In New York. It's a plcasuro
to shako hands with you."
Tho king passed on Into tho crowd,
tho focus of a hundred admiring eyes.
Illvcns could scarcely believe his cars
when he listened with open mouth
while his majesty spoko to Stuart.
"Great Scott, Jlmt" ho gasped at last.
"That's the longest speech I ever heard
him make. I knew you had scored tho
biggest hit any lawyer has made In
this town In a generation, but I never
dreamed you'd capture tho king's Im
agination. I'm beginning to think ray
offer wasn't so generous after nil. Look
here, you've got to promise me one
tiling right now. When you do go In
to make your pile It shall be with mo
and no other man."
Nan passed and throw him a gra
cious smile.
"It will bo with yon If I go, Cal, I
promise. At least tho king Is one ex
ception to your indictment of all great
fortunes."
"That's tho funniest thing of nil,"
Blvens whispered. "lie's not nn ex
ception. Understand, I'm loyal to tho
king. He's a wonder. I like him. I
like his big head, his big shaggy eye
brows, his big hands und big feet I
like to hear him growl and snap hlH
answer 'Yes,' 'No' that means life or
death to men who kneel at' his feet.
He's a dead game sport. But he, too,
has his little blots In his early copy
books at school If you care to turn the
pages."
"No!" Stuart Interrupted Incredu
lously. "Yes, sir; ho turned the slickest trick
on Uncle Sam of all the bunch. Ho
was a youngster, nnd It was his first
deal. When tho civil war broke out the
government had no guns for the volun
teer. Ho learned that there were
C,O0O old Hall carbines stored away
among the Junk In one of the national
arsenals In New York. He bought
these guns (on a credit) for a song,
about ?3 apiece, nnd shipped them to
General Fremont, who was in St. Louis
howling for arms.' Fremont agreed to
pay $22.00 each for the new rllles and
closed tho deal nt once by drawing on
the government for enough to enable
tho young buccaneer to pay his three
dollar contract price to Uncle Sam In
New York and lay aside a snug sum
for n rainy day besides.
"When Fremont found that tho guns
were worthless ho advised the gov
ernment to stop payment on tho bal
ance. It was stopped on the ground of
fraud. And then tho youngster show
ed tho stuff he was made of. Did ho
crawl and ajwlogizo? Not much. He
sued the United States government for
tho full amount and pushed that suit
to the supremo court. In the face of
tho sneers of his enemies ho won and
took tho full amount with interest
He's tho king today because ho was
born a king. His father was a million,
alro before him. He's tho greatest
financial genius of ,tho century."
Blvens paused and a dreamy look
canto Into tho black eyes.
"Jim," ho continued with slow em
phasis, 'Td rather get my fingers on
his throat in a death struggle than
lead tho combined armies of tho world
to victory."
Stuart was silent
The soft tones of hidden oriental
gongs began to culm tho call for din
ner. The chimes melted Into a beau
tiful pleco of orchestral music which
seemed to steal from the sky, so skill
fully had tho musicians boon conceal
ed. Nan suddenly appeared by Stuart's
side, and ho was given tho honor of
leading his hostess into the banquet
hall before even tho king, while the
great ones of earth slowly followed.

WILSONS' SILVER WEDDING.
Change Announced In President's Plan
to Visit Cornish.
Washington, Juno 25. President
and Mrs. Wilson observed their twenty-eighth
wedding anniversary yester
day without ostentation and merely as
n "family affair." A few relatives vis
iting at tho White House took part in
tho quiet observance, but there were
no outsiders. Asido from attending
tho cabinet meeting tho president had
no appointments nnd remained at
home as much as possible. Hundreds
of congratulatory telegrams arrived
during the day.
It was announced at tho executive
offices tliat the plana for the presi
dents flying trip to his summer homo

and that instead o spending ten days
there ho will remain only two days.
He will leavo hero next Friday night

RUSSIAN TREATY DEADLOCKED
Free Admission For American Jew
Said to Be a Condition.
Washington, Juno 25. Secretary of
State Bryan admitted that discussions
looking toward tho negotiation of a
now treaty with Russia had been go
ing on over since ho came into office in
tary said that nothing definite had yet
como ot tueso discussions. Tho Wilson
administration is understood to bo In
sisting upon free admission of Ameri
can Jews Into Ituaela as n condition of
a new treaty.
Tho Russian government has repeat
edly stated that it win not grant unre
stricted admission into Russia to Jews
of any nation. Consequently it h not
soon hero how tho discussions now go
ing on can accomplish anything.

4 DEAD, SCORE DYING
IN ELEVATOR BLOWUP
Buffalo Hospitals Filled With
Maimed Victims.
Buffalo, N. Y., June 23. Four men
ore known to bo dead, sixty were In
jured and four are unaccounted for as
tho result of an explosion In tho ele
vator and grain storehouse of the
Husted Milling company nt Elk and
Peabody streets. Fire followed the
explosion.
Of tho sixty Injured It Is believed
fully thirty will die, so frightfully are
they burned and maimed.
At tho scene of the accident a priest
administered tho last rites to twenty
five men who w.ero believed at the
tlmo to be mortally hurt
The explosion was caused by the
pulling of dust accumulations in the
feedhouse nnd was of frightful force,
tearing out the north wall of the.
wooden structure nnd breaking win-"
dows for a quarter of a mile around.
John Conroy, engineer of a switch
engine on tho Now York, Chicago and
St Louis railroad, was blown from his
cab and received frightful injuries,
from which ho died in a few hours.
Several windows in cars of a pass
ing Nickel Plato passenger train were
broken. The train was brought to a
standstill and many of the Injured
wore placed In the baggage car and
rushed to tho station.
A boy running to tho fire wns struck
by an automobile and instantly killed.
Tho body of Henry Vetter was
blown fifty foot by tho explosion nnd
wns found under n box car near by
badly burned and mangled.
Firemen succeeded In cooling the
ruins of the burned elevntor, so thnt
a search of tho outlying debris was
possible. Tho body of a man was
taken out so charred that identifica
tion wns not considered probable.
The finding of the body led to the
belief that several others failed to
escape and that their bodies would
bo found when the great mass of
twisted steel girders and charred tim
bers are removed.
MEXICAN BATTLE UNCERTAIN.
Insurgents Look For United States
Recognition if They Win.
Douglas. Ariz.. June 2."!. r.nru nf
news from Uio front above Guavmns
caused much uneasiness among Insur
gent state officials along tho border.
Because of strategic advance It was ex
pected that General Oberegon's state
troops would have routed tho federal
column under General OJeda, but the
government troops evidently still are
holding their own.
Federals and insurgents nliko ninm
more than local Importance on the bat-
tie. The insurgents believe that If
Uenornl OJeda was defeated, leaving
Honora in complete control of tho In
surgents, recognition by tho United
States of the .revolution will result.
ACQUITTED OF RING DEATH.
Arthur Pelky, Whose Blow Killed
Luther McCarty, e Set Free.
Cnlgary, Alberta, June 25. Arthur
Pelky, a pugilist, was acquitted of tho
manslaughter chargo which was placed
against him as a result of the death of
Luther McCarty. It was charged by
the government that McCarty died
from a blow administered by Pelky.
Tho Jury was out forty-flvo minutes.
nnd the verdict was to tho effect that
tho contest was a prizefight, but that
Pelky was not guilty of manslaughter.
Inasmuch as tho blow ho struck was
not Intended to produce fatal results.
-HARRISBURG LETTER
At midnight Monday both houses
of the Legislature wore In session,
and while no definite action had
been reached upon any of the import
ant Mils still under consideration, it
Is believed that there will bo final
adjournments of the General Assem
bly before the end of this week.
This may mean that the House
resolution providing for an adjourn
ment sine die ,at noon on Thursday,
June 26, will be technically, If not
literally, carried out. This will re
quire the employment of the time
honored custom of "turning back
the hands of the clock."
In other words, while tho legisla
tive day may still bo Thursday of
record, it will or may bo actually
Friday or Saturday. While no final
conclusion was reached on these
bills there Is reason to believe that
the Legislature before adjournment
will pass bills providing for the fol
lowing: A State-wide primary.
A party enrollment governing pri
mary elections.
A non-partisan ballot covering
judicial elections and possibly cities
of the 'first and second class, but so
much objection has been raised to
this feature that the non-partisan
hill may be finally limited to the
judiciary.
A child and Woman Labor bills.
A Public Utilities bill.
Tho Senate passed finally the
Child Labor bill by a vote of 31 to
0 as amended, and It now goes to
the House for concurrence.
There were two conferences Tues
day on tho State-wide primary bill.
Both sides express a belief that
there will bo an agreement.
Tho Party Enrollment bill is be
ing held up pending action on the
State-Wide Primary bill.
Possibly, the greatest obstacle Jn
the way ot an adjournment on
Thursday is the fact that there is a
clash over tho Public Utilities bill.
This is a lengthy measure, and If
many amendments shall be made at
the last hour the State printer will
have a big job turning out copies
for both Houses.
Tho printer had a double force
of copy readers waiting and nn ex
tra staff of compositors at work, but
the copy was not forthcoming from
the Senate Committee on Corpora
tions which has tho Utilities bill in
Its keeping.
The conferees on tho Workmen's
Compensation bill, which seems to be
included among the casualties of tho
session, could not get together bo
cause of the State-wldo primary con
ferences. They were told there may
be a meeting soon.
The House pnssed finally the bill
coiling for a State-wide primary for
tho nomination of two candidates
for the Superior Court next fall.
The Senate defeated tho bill
which gives the State Fire Marshal
additional powers. The measure was
opposed by the Philadelphia and
Pittsburg city administrations. The
vote was 21 to 28, 2G being necessary
to pass tho hill.
Kcpoit Two Election Bills.
Two election bills were reported to
the House from the Elections Com
mittee. One of them was the Mc
Nichol bill, which passed the Senate
and provided for the election of
candidates for the United States
Senate in tho same manner as candi
dates for Governor are chosen.
This would mean that If there
shall be no Stato-wlde primary bill
passed, Senator Penrose's successor
would be nominated In tho fall of
1914 by a State convention. Tho
House committee, however, com
pletely changed the bill, and as re
ported to the House it provides that
the candidates for United States
Senator shall be nominated by a di
rect vote at a State-wide primary.
The other bill reported out re
fers to the appointment of division
registrars by the Receiver of Taxes
to act as deputy poll tax collectors.
As amended in the committee, the
bill requires tho Receiver of Taxes
to appoint one of the registrars who
shall represent the majority party in
his division. As this bill passed the
Senate, it mado no restrictions as to
the selection of the registrar.
HAS AMUSED SHOAV PUBLIC
FOR THIRTY-TWO YEARS
Thirty-two years of success as an
amusement purveyor to the Ameri
can public is a record of which any
man might well be proud, and that
is the record of Frank A. Robbins,
who will bring his "All-Featuro
Show" to Honesdalo this year on
July 3. Starting while yet a very
young man, with the smallest kind
of a wagon show, he has gradually
developed his business until to-day
he is putting on tho road a show,
which while not the largest, Is fully
up to any in the features presented.
Every year for thirty-two he has
Improved his equipment, and search
ed all over the country for star acts,
and those which will ho seen this
year are staid to eclipse any in the
past. It has always been the cus
tom of this successful circus man to
give the public just what ho adver
tises that he will, and his reputation
for keeping his word has become so
.great that he is able to return to
the same town year after year, a
thing which has been found next to
Impossible by other circuses. In ad
dition to strengthening his show he
has increased his menagerie and par
ade this year at great expense. Two
performances will be given, at 2 and
8 o'clock, preceded by band concerts
for one hour. Adv.

the doctrines and teachings of this
people, starting in obscurity and
poverty, it has grown In power af
numbers, and extended in Influence,
until today the sun never sets but
upon their organized work. Thus
within a period of less than seventy
years thoy have so covered the face
of tho earth that there is scarcely a
country whore their workers may not
be found. The Seventh Day Adven
tlsts have entered fifty fields, and in
ten years have sent 750 adults
abroad. They now have in non
Christian and non-Protestant coun
tries 58C foreign missionaries and
974 native workers, making a total
