F0H HOME RULE.
Dr. Farkhurst Thinks a Mistake Has
Been Made at Albany.
New Y'rvrk, Feb. 22. The Rev. Dr.
Oh a s. H. Parkhurst in the course of an
Interview last night on vice in New
York, the present conditions in police af
f lira and the outlook for municipal re
form said:
"I have Ion? been an advocate of a
pir.pie headed police department. Wheth
er "the new chief be personally and
through associations, good, bad or indif
ferent, the new condition will be an im
provement over the old, because it will
2io longer be possible either to shift or
to evade responsibility for the acts of
the department. If the work of the new
hief be weii done his will be the credit.
If the FVMtm of corruption and subsi
dized vice continuts to nourish, he will
not be abie to shirk his responsibility
and the people will know whose is the
fault. , i
But right here, in connection with
this new law I want to say that I think
tine fatal mistake has been made in Al
bany and I fear its consequences will be
Feru-us. It was a gross error to place in
the hands of the governor the power to
remove the chief arbitrarily and withotit
a hearing. The principle of municipal
home rule is already deeply rooted in
Kew York and it is grow ins in strength.
"This city is surely great enough,
large enough and strong: enough to b-j
intrusted with the management of its
own municipal business, and its people,
in my opinion are certain to resent legis
lation that gives such power into the
hands of the state. My fear has beer,
ail along that this outburst of popular
indignation might not be sustained un
til it could be made effective at the
polls. !
"I have been wondering and giving
perious thought to the problem, how
can we continue to appeal to the great
mass of dectnt citizens regardless of
party ties, rouse them from their threat
ened apathy and hold their interest in a
nistained movement for real municipal
reform?
"I have about concluded that we can
Jiest do it by showing them the perils
and pitfalls to which their children and
ours are exposed by the systematic tol
eration and encouragement of the most
reputive reform, of vice. In so far as I
ran influence it that will be the direc
tion the campaign of enlightenment will
take from this time forward. Once you
begin to discuss rival candidates and
1 arty policies, partisan and factional di
visions occur and the splits are likely t
widen, but if the real conditions that
jnenace our children can be painted as
tliey actually exist and every father in
New- Y'ork can be brought to realize that
the picture is a true one, then we appeal
to a sentiment that is as broad as hu
man nature itself.
"I know too well what these condi
tions are. Talk about the church saving
the young. Good Heavens why the
MAKE THE CHANGE
Before Coffee Wrecks You,
"The right man came along one day
hen he told me that coffee drinking
as the cause of my gastritis, nervous
ness, torpid liver, and trembling hands
that interfered with my business, that of
mechanical drawing, but coffee was my
only habit and I loved it so that I did
not see how I could give it up.
If he had not been so enthusiastic re
garding the relief in his case by leaving
.t coffee and taking Postum food Cof
fee l could not have mustered up will
tower enough to abandon my favorite
everage.
I left off coffee that day at lunch and
had a cup of Postum. It was made good
unl had a rich, dark color, with a deli
cious flavor that I could not tell from
regular coffee. It pleased the eye, smell
nnd palate, so I had It each day at the
restaurant for the noondav lunch, and
disc overed a decided improvement in my
condition, but it was not until I left off
ofiee for breakfast and used Postum in
its place that real relief set in. Now I
m free from gastritis, headaches, and
fully appreciate the value of the 'nerve
ase.' No more trembling hands and no
more nervous prostration. I am well,
nnd feel that I should say to others who
;ire being poisoned by a beverage that
they uo not suspect, 'coffee,' 'Make the
c hange before the poison works destruc
tion in you." "
This letter is from a New York me
chanical draughtsman. Name can be
furnished by the Postum Cereal Co.,
at BatUa Creek, Mica.
L for SATURDAY !
young of this city today are being de
bauched daily in the resorts of vice, in
the pool rooms and gambling houses, in
the very public streets and the door
ways of dwelling houses faster than all
the Christian churches can hope to save
them.
For these offensive conditions I do not
much blame the rank and file of the po
lice force. For them I feel much sym
pathy and friendship. They, too, are too
often the victims of the vicious system
to which they are forced to be subser
vient." MIXED ON ORDERS.
Cause of the Disastrous Railroad
Wreck on the Pennsylvania.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 22 The total
number of dead In the Pennsylvania
railroad wreck at Rusling3 Siding near
Bordentown last night is now known to
be at least ten. There are eight bodies
in the Trenton morgue and Coroner
Bower went to the scene of the wreck
this morning to bring two more bodies
to Trenton that had been taken from
underneath the wreckage during the
early morning. The only dead persons
yet identified are Kngineer Karle, of the
"Nellie Ely" express, Bagagemaster
James Birmingham, of the local train,
and J. W. Nale. of Trenton, who was a
passenger on the local train. It Is be
lieved that one of the dead bodies is
that of Wm. McKinney, also of Trenton.
Engineer Thompson, of the local train
who is at St. Nicholas hospital, is in a
very precarious condition. Frank Bol
den, a passenger on the local train, who
lost both legs, wall probably die and two
others of the injured, both Italians, are
in a serious condition, but the rest will
recover.
Fireman Clarwood of the local train
who is at the Mercer hospit-.l is credited
with having made the statement that
the orders to Engineer Thompson of the
local, wes-e to take the siding at Rus
lings and await the passing of the sec
ond section of the "Nellie Bly." As it
was the third section of the train crash
ed into the local. There appears to have
been a misunderstanding of orders.
IS KING INDEED.
Edward Proving a Much Better Ruler
Than Expected.
New York, eb. 22. King Edward's
activity and interest in his work con
tinues unabated says the Tribune's Lon
don correspondent. Every detail re
ceives his attention and he insists upon
having accurate knowledge of every
thing and forming an independent opin
ion. Those in touch with the court as
sert that all t.ie important addresses
and messages to the nation, army, navy
and foreign rulers have been written by
the king himself. He rises early, work3
late, sleeps little, and his health already
reveals the benefit of this close occupa
tion. .
EDWARD'S CORONATION.
England's Great Event Expected to
Happen in August
New York. Feb. 22. There is mun.i
talk about the coronation of King Ed
ward in midsummer, says the Tribune's
London correspondent, but there is noth
ing authoritative on the subject from
the court. It cannot take place until
the period of deep mourning is at an
end nor until the return of the Duke of
Cornwall from the colonies. August is
the earliest month when the condition
can be complied with, and while this
would not be too late from the W'est
End tradesmen's point of view, it would
break into the shooting season and in
terfere with court gaiety. The pressure
from the trading section of the metrop
olis is great and the court may decide
to hasten the coronation as a popular
measure of relief to the shop keepers.
The objection that the ceremonial re
quires a year s preparation is absurd.
The tradesmen are confident that the
present will be the last of the short sea
son. They assort that with the king
in a permanent residence in London the
season will begin in February every
year and last until August 15.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Tesla to Make Test From New Jersey
to Portugal Coast.
New. York, Feb. 22. According to the
Tribune's London correspondent, Nikola
Tesla will test his system of transatlan
tic wireless telegraphy along the 40th
parallel, from the coast of New Jersey
to the coast of Portugal. James Gal
braith of New York, left London last
night for Lisbon, with, the electrical
parts to be used in trial.
To Aid Beet Sugar Refiners.
Toronto, Feb. 22. The Ontario govern
ment has announced its bill to encour
age refining of beet sugar. The sum of
STa.Ono per year will be set apart for
three years, the bonus Jo refiners will
consist of one-half cent per pound for
the first year and one-quarter cent per
pound for the succeeding two years, the
refiners to pay farmers $4 per ton for
beets.

FIRST OF THE CENTURY.
British. Columbia Legislature Attracts
Many Spectators.
Seattle. Feb. 22. A special to the Post
Intelligencer from Victoria, B. C says:
The first legislature of British Colum
bia in this century was formally opened
at 4 o'clock yesterday by his honor, the
lieutenant governor in the presence of a
large gathering of spectators. A unique
Interest attached to the event through
the presence of about 40 men of the dif
ferent South African contingents hailing
from this province. Tne appearance o! i
these strapping fellows evoked the wild
est enthusiasm. The Fifth regiment, as
usual, furnished the guard, while the
Khaki men formed a complimentary es
cort on each side of the center aisle of
the chamber up which the governor
passes to the throne.
The chaplain for the occasion was
Rev. H. B. Blyth, the new pastor of the
Congregational church here, who was
through the campaign as a corporal in
the Canadian artillery
Sir Henri Jolly, was attended by Rear
Admiral Bickford and his staff by Cap
tain Casement of H. M. S. Amphion, and
Commander Simpson of H. M. S. Egeria,
with a number of their officers Lieut.
Col. Grant and officers of the H. E. and
H. A.; by Lieut. Col. Gregory and offi
cers of the Fifth regiment.
The brilliant uniforms of these officers
harmonized with the more somber
Khaki and made a striking picture look
ing down upon the scene from the press
gallery. Mourning gowns prevailed
among the ladies, in whose costumes the
absence of color was most noticeable.
NIPPED THE FAKIRS.
New Yorkers Defeated in Scheme to
Secure $5,000 in Diamonds.
New York, Feb. 22. Four men calling
themselves brokers are under arrest
here. They are Frederick H. Hoeder, of
this city, John F. Cavanagh of Pitts
burg, Oscar Litchtenstadt and Leopold
Oppenheimer of this city.
The four men were arrested in the
diamond office of Wm. Rosenfeld,
Maiden Lane. Several days ago Oppen
heimer cailed at the oflice with Roeder
and Cavanagh, saying his friends want
ed to buy about $5,000 worth of diamond
jewelry-. They picked out that amount
of gems and said they would call again
and pay for them. They called again
and told Rosenfeld they would leave as
security a deed for property on Weet
Sixty-second street, which they said
Cavanagh owned. Rosenfeld notified
the police and detectives who were as
signed to the case reported that Cava
nagh had no claim whatever to the
property.
The four men called again at the
Maiden Lane office. They turned over
a deed to Rosenfeld showing that Chas.
Chapman had deeded to Cavanagh the
property on West Sixty-second street.
They were arrested and the police found
on Cavanagh a bond and mortgage cer
tificate for $10,000 made out to Rosenfeld
to be handed over to his keeping till the
diamonds were paid for. The bond had
a short affidavit attached to the effect
that Cavanagh owned the property. It
iiad passed the register's office in due
form and the notary's signature was all
right.
The detectives say that the scheme in
this kind of an affair is to answer an
advertisement in a newspaper about
property for sale. Those in the scheme
see the owner or agent and deposit $50
or $1C0 for the temporary possession of
deed so it may be shown ostensibly to
a lawver for those interested.
ORGAN GRINDING EARL.
Will Make Another Effort to Get His
Title and Estates.
London, Feb. 22. Proceedings have
been started in behalf of Viscount Hin
ton, who at one time played an organ in
London streets to eject the youthful
Earl Poulette from Hinton House, pend
ing the trial of the question of his right
to the ef.rldom. An injunction will be
asked for to restrain the present occu
pant of the family estates from using
the title f Earl Poulette.
When Wm. Henry. Earl Poulette. died
in London, January 22. 1SS9, the succes
sion to his title and estates came into
dispute. The old earl was thrice mar
ried and the organ grinding claimant to
his estate declares himself to be his eld
est son by Miss Elizabeth Virginia New
man, daughter of a land port pilot whom
the earl married in 1849. The earl's sec
ond marriage was without issue. In
1S79 he contracted a marriage, his third,
with Rosa De Melville, daughter of
Alfred Hugh De Melville, and the son of
this union now enjoys the estates and
property which the claimant will at
tempt to possess by process of law.
The alleged Earl Poulette has long
lived among the London poor, support
ing himself by organ grinding. He has
given some study to the matter of the
housing of the London masses, with
whose life and hardships he is personally
familiar. The old earl never concealed
his hatred for his organ grinding son,
whom he characterized as an imposter.
He was so opposed to his eventually en
joying his estates that he attempted so
to entail and mortgage them during his
life time, that even If his son were suc
cessful in his effoffrts to be recognized as
his father's lawful heir there would be
little if any property for him to enjoy.
While the earl's son by his third wife
enjoys the estate and uses the title, his
claim thereto has never been confirmed
by the courts.
A SIMPLE SYSTEM. .
New 'Wireless Telegraphy Can Be
Used With One Day's Instructions.
New York. Feb. 22. Of the experiments
in wireless telegraphy recently conducted
off Browhead. Ireland, on buard the
steamship Georince, one of the
experimenters, Alexander W. Sharman,
who has arrived here, said:
The system adopted is that invented by
Coionel Henry Montague Mosier, secre
tary of Lloyds, and Mr. Nevil Maskelyne
of London, a well known astronomer and
electrician. The apparatus used in this
system is altogether different from that
employed by the Marconi syndicate.
"Our apparatus is simple in construction
and eay to manipulate, so that the or
dinary marine signalman Is able to use it
after a day's instruction. The steamer
was ten miles from Browhead and sig
nals were exchanged as the Oeorgice
continued on her regular course at usual
speed until she was twentv-five miles
from Browhead. when the tests discon
tinued. The messages were easily read."
Mr. Sharman said the advantage of this
system is that is works equally well in
all kinds of weather.
Mr. Sharman w ill return on the Georgice
and the experiment will be 'resumed at
the steamer approaches the Irish coast.
Chicago's Big Ice Crop.
Chicago, Feb. 22. The Tribune says:
Ice will be more plentiful in Chicago this
year than last. Already 1,500,000 tons of
the commodity have been harvested, and
if the cold weather continues two more
weeks over 2.000.000 tons will be stored.
In addition the artificial ice companies
have increased their capacity. Unless
some of the independent concerns should
precipitate an ice war, prices are ex
pected to remain unchanged.

WANTS A RETAXATI0N.
Assignee For a New York Estate Ob
jects to Court's Ruling.
New York, Feb. 22. Charles A. B.
Pratt, the assignee of the estate of Ben
jamin W. Hitchcock, who was substi
tuted for Frederick A. Silverstone, as as
signee, in January, 1S97, has made an
application to Justice McAdam in the
supreme court for a re-taxation of his
disbursements on a final accounting by
him by the county clerk in which ex
penses were disallowed that he thought
should be paid, amounting to $504.33.
When Hitchcock, who was a music pub
lisher and real estate dealer, failed in
1S93, his estate was estimated at over
$870,000 and his liabilities at $280,000. The
final accounting by Silverstone in 1897
showed that he had received $833,563 but
he claimed credits of more than $S33,00O.
Fifty creditors objected to the confir
mation of his accounts and Mr. Pratt
was substituted as assignee.
YEXED CANAL QUESTION.
Colombian Minister Comtt to Treat
With the United States.
New York, Feb. 22. The Tribune says:
Dr. Carlos Martinez Silva, the minister
01 foreign affairs of the republic of Col
ombia who is now in Washington, came
to the country fully prepared and auth
orized by the government to negotiate a
treaty with the United States for the
Panama canal. The concession of this
canal, which is held by the French Pan
American Canal company a few months
ago was extended from 1904 to 1910, on
payment of $1,000,000 but Colombia be
lieves she can induce this company to
sell its rights to the United States. J. T.
Ford, an engineer who is associated with
Dr. Silva as expert adviser and from
whom this information was obtained,
says he believes that the treaty which
Colombia wishes to negotiate, "will give
to the United States every shred of con
trol over the canal that any person could
demand, short of an actual purchase in
fee simple or transfer of sovereignty.
This," said Mr. Ford, "is impossible not
only at Panama, but, as you will ob
serve, in the very vague offers from
Nicaragua and Costa Rica no such thing
is there mooted."

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Canada Will Pay Two Million Pounds
Towards Its' Construction.
Ottawa, Feb. 22. The postnaster gen
eral has given notice of a resolution pro
viding for Canada's share in the increased
cost of the Pacific cable. The act of
1S99 authorized a contribution of five
eighteenths of an estimated cost of 1,700.
000. Tenders called since then bring the
cost up to two million pounds. This sum
the British government is willing to ad
vance and parliament will be asked to au

per year on Canada's share of five-eighteenths
of the two millions.
SALISBURY'S RETIREMENT.
Rumor Is Persistently Circulated
About London.
New York, Feb. 22. Rumors about the
retirement of Lord Salisbury are persist
ently circulated, says the Tribune's Lon
don correspondent, but are clearly pre
mature. His health is not materially
worse, but his interest in public life has
lapsed since he abandoned the foreign
office. He seems to have relegated to
Mr. Balfour already the prime minister's
duties of waiting upon the sovereign, and
this is considered by some political ex
perts as a sign that the nephew will suc
ceed the uncle. The strongest leader of
the Unionist side is Mr. Chamberlain.
WANTS HIS PAY.
Attorney Who Was to Help Oust a
Populist Has a Claim.
After success crowned the contest in
stituted by Wr. A. Owen to unseat Tim
othy Hackett, in the house. Dr. W. If.
Balrd, who was beaten by J. M. Davis
by 24 votes in the same county of
Bourbon, was induced to start a con
test also. A sensational Paul Revere
ride was made for thirty miles across
the county by two officers in order to
serve legal notice upon Davis, and that
was the last heard of it. The session is
so near a close that there is no expec
tation of its being taken up now, and
the limit has expired, if limits were ob
served. B. Hudson, Baird's attorney, is here,
and he would like to get an attorney's
fee and costs out of it. The plan was to
file the papers and have them referred
to the elections committee, so that they
could make a finding for the expenses.
The member who was asked to make
the motion could not summon the cour
age to do it, the story goes, and the
state may be sived the footing of this
bill.

LIYE PIGEON SHOOT.
Good Scores Being Made at the Long
Island Traps.
Garden City, L. I.. Feb. 22 There were
four absentees from the list of 17 trap
shooters entered to contest for the ama
teur pigeon shooting championship
which opened yesterday when the event
was resumed at the Cartaret Gun club
grounds today. These were R. A. WTelch,
C. S. Guthrie, W. S. Hill and Yale Dolan,
who had missed 15, 13, 12 and 11 birds,"
respectively, out of their first 45.
The weather conditions were almost
similar to those of yesterday. A stiff
northwest wind which was biting cold
made the picked birds faster than ever
and the shooters were half blinded by
the sun as they faced the traps.
When the men had shot five rounds,
completing just half of the contest there
were some changes in the standing of
the leaders. Dr. Wilson, who held the
lead with 44 killed, missed his 49th bird,
a circling in-comer.
C. A. Painter killed straight and tied
the doctor for first honors, each having
five misses marked against him.
Harold Money missed two birds and as
Kirkover, the Buffalo man, still kept
shooting in fine form, thesa two tied
with 43 kills each.
D. I. Bradley and Col. Martin, who
are the next best on the list, each missed
one bird and are fifth and sixth re
spectively. COFFEIVILLE'S NEW COURT
Bill
Recommended to Extend Juris
diction of City Court
Two years ago Coffeyville was given a
city court by act of the legislature. At
this session Representative Dooley is
having the court changed into a sec
ondary district court for Montgomery
county. It is to have the same original
jurisdiction as the regular district court
at Independence in cases of misdemeanor
and civil jurisdiction in cases involving
amounts up to $2,000. The Coffeyville
court's juries are limited to the same
as justices of the peace, numbering six,
but appeal is from it to the supreme
court. Coffeyville will fare better than
Pittsburg even, if the bill becomes a
law, because it will have a judge of its
own who is paid $1,200 a year by the
state, and he may appoint a stenograph
er and reporter also.
There was a fight over it, for the
Girard contingent in the Crawford
county court fight have it in for Dooley,
but the committee of the whole recom
mended the bill for passage by a narrow
margin.
