SUSPECT IN JAIL
Morris Nathan Held in Connection
With Stilt Case Murder.
Pittsburg, Oct. 30. Morris Nathan
was arrested at the Hotel Henry last
night on a charge of murder in con
nection with the Wlnthrop, Mass., suit
case mystery. He spent a restless
night in a cell at the central police
station. It was after 4 o'clock this
morning before Nathan went to sleep,
and for several hours he tossed about
on the cot apparently in much distress.
He was awakened about 8 o'clock by
the entrance of Director Moore of the
public safety department and several
newspaper men.
"How are you, Nathan?" asked Di
rector Moore.
"Well, I am probably as well as can
be expected," replied Nathan.
"It's an unfortunate affair," said
Director Moore.
"I am in a serious position," an
swered Nathan.
In reply to a question from a news
paper reporter Nathan said he was
il years of age. He then refused to
talk and made it plainly evident that
he did not appreciate the presence of
the visitors. After the press repre
sentatives withdrew Dr. Moore con
tinued the examination of the pris
oner. What he learned was not an
nounced, but Detective James W.
Eagan made the positive statement
that there would be some develop
ments, and the detective, George W.
Cole, his co-worker, may have some
thing Important to announce.
"Detective Cole had a talk with the
prisoner and learned some important
things," said Detective Egan.
After questioning Nathan further.
Director Moore said: "This is a very
Important arrest. The prisoner knows
something of the crime; or that I am
sure."
The police officials say it is evident
that Nathan is weakening. It was
also Intimated that he has told De
tective Cole the relations he bore to
Miss Geary.
Steps have already been taken, it Is
said, that will lead to the location and
arrest of the physicians supposed to
be Implicated.
Superintendent of Detective McQuad
says Nathan will be held until the
arrival of an officer from Boston, who
is expected here tonight. The pris
oner, he added, will return'to Massa
chusetts without requisition papers.
MUNICIPAL LIGHTS.
How
New York "Kills Two
With One Stone."
Birds
New Tork, Oct. 30. Municipal light
ing of public structures will be a reality
tonight. When darkness closes in about
the new Williamsburg bridge its thou
sand electric tights will be made to
shine out for the first time by an elec
tric current generated at the city's in
cinerating plant and where tons of re
fuse gathered by the department of
street cleaning will be the fuel.
The realization of the plans of Dr.
John M. Woodbury. commissioner of
street cleaning, will, it is said by the
city's engineers save the taxpayers
many thousands of dollars a year. Ev
ery cubic yard of refuse burned in the
plant will save the city the cost of car
rying out the present method of get
ting rid of the refuse which is now
dumped In the sea.

Salaries Have Not Advanced in Pro
portion to Expenses.
Washington, Oct. 30. Among the
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, now in session In Washington
the opinion is expressed that the pay
of the ministers of the gospel has not
Increased in proportion to the con
stantly Increasing cost of living.
"Salaries paid to the clergy?" said
Bishop J. F. Berry of Buffalo, "are
none too good at best, and, taking the
country over, have remained sta
tionary for some time. Generally it
is safe to say that salaries have not
advanced to meet existing conditions.
Living expenses, however, have been
growing year after year, they will be
higher this year than last and the
church people ought to meet this sit
uation in the material way so neces
sary even for the members of the
clergy."
WHERE IS THE MONEY?
Express Package Supposed to Contain
$25,000 Found Worthless.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct 30. A dispatch
from Helena, Mont., says:
The contents of a $25,000 express pack
age sent from Hamilton, Mont., to New
York are missing and detectives are
trying to discover what became of the
money. The money was shipped by
Charles F. Kelly to H. H. Harris & Co.,
for Investment. Instead of receiving
the securities he had purchased. Kelly
was dumbfounded to receive a letter
stating that the contents of the pack
age upon receipt oy tne Mew York firm
consisted of newspaper clippings. The
seals, however, were intact.

To Confer a Bachelor's Degree.
Emporia, Oct. 30. A committee com
posed of two members of the board of
regents and three members of the facul
ty of the Normal school, is perfecting an
arrangement whereby the Normal school
will be able to confer a bachelor's de
gree. It may not be a well-known tact
here that the last legislature passed an
act permitting the Normal school to
arrange such a course, and that since
that time the committee has been at
work on it. A few students in the school
are taking work that will count in this
course.

BLAMES PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
Will Follow Assessment of Enterprise 1
National Stockholders.
Pittsburg, Oct. 30. The coroner's in- !
quest into the death of T. Lee Clark,
the cashier of the Enterprise National
bank of Allegheny, began today. Among
the prominent people who have been i
subpoenaed to testify are Francis G.
Terrance, an official of the Santa Fe
Central railroad and the Pennsylvania j
Development company, the two com
panies of which the dead cashier was
treasurer; Wilson A. Shaw, president
of the Bank of Pittsburg, and Freder
ick Gwinner, president of the Enter- ;
price bank, the entire1 hoard of directois
and Mrs. Clark, the cashier's widow. 1
The decision of the Comptroller of the
Currency Ridgely, to call for a full 100 j
per cent assessment on the stock of the
insolvent institution is causing much
anxiety among the stockholders. Some
of the bank officials who know where
the stock is held and by whom, predict
that the assessment levied will bank
rupt at least 300 of the shareholders, if
they are able to pay at all. In many
cases, it is said, the shareholders have
paid every cent they had. These small
stockholders are shop keepers, hard
working men and women in the mills,
and in the factories of lower Allegheny
and widows and orphans.
FIGHT FOR MONEY BEGINS.
Relatives of Wealthy Mrs. Todd Don't
Wait for Funeral.
New York, Oct. 30. It was learned
yesterday that wealthy Mrs. Maragata
Todd, who was found dead Friday night
in a railroad cut In a suburb of Phila
delphia, had arrived In that city and
had left there presumably for New York
when she met :ath.
Coroner Scholer said last night that
he considered the circumstances of Mrs.
Todd's death very suspicious, but that
he had no jurisdiction as she died in
another city. He would, however, he
said, prevent the funeral from taking
place and order an investisation If re
quested to do so b' the Philadelphia
coroner or police. Th body of Mrs.
Todd will be buried today and the police
will be on hand to pre vent a clash be
tween the factions warrins for control
of her big estate.
In the dead woman 3 apartment in
the Von Hoffman at No. 29 West Twenty-sixth
street yesterday Mrs. George
Howe, the step-daughter, passed the
day behind barricaded doors and guard
ed by two private detectives. Down
stairs in the office of the hotel Lawyer
Ingersoll Lockwood announcing himself
as the dead woman s trustee under an
id will had possession with two othpr
privates. The identity of the mysterious
woman who drove with Mrs. Todd to the
train in Jersey City and then disappear
ed has not been discovered.
Mrs. Todd's estate is estimated to be
worth from $250,000 to $1,000,000. She
was nearly SO years of age and had been
successful in real estate transactions
for years. She was three times married.
her last husband being Louis L. Todd,
former owner of the Tendome and Marl
borough hotels. Her only children are
Mrs. Frank Tousey, widow of a well
known publisher, and Mrs. George Howe,
a step-daughter. Mrs. Tousey is now in
Vienna and has been cabled to come
home at once.
Trouble over Mrs. Todd's will and an
alleged effort to induce her to execute
a new one on the nisht before her
strange death have added to the mys
tery surrounding the whole affair.

So Important is a knowledge of
coming weather to the business inter-
ests ot the country that some years
ago our government established, and
yet maintains at enormous expense, a
weather bureau for the express pur
pose of furnishing reliable daily pre
dictions and proDabilitles. VVitii that
class of our people to whom scientific
investigation appeals the weataer bu
reau has become highly popular and
its predictions are rened upon by them
with a good deal of confidence. An
other large class whose members each
has a system of weather forecasting
of his own, look upon the weather
maris and the predictions of the
weather bureau as mere guesses and
promptly forget the ninety that are
verified and remember the ten that
fail.
As a matter of fact, from the very
nature of things meteorological, the
predictions of the weather bureiu can
not be always correct. The system is
based upon what knowledge is pos
sessed of meteorological laws, which
is not full and complete, and fie at
mospheric conditions a.? ascertained by
various instruments. If all the
weather changes depended upon the
lower atmospheric conditions the in
struments used by the weather ob
server would promptly and correctly
indicate them and make verification
of every prediction probable, but it
must be remembered that the sudden
ana violent c'-anges are carried in
stock in the upper strata of the at
mosphere, too far away to have any
Influence upon the barometer, ther
mometer, anemometer and other
weather instruments. These conditions
of the upper air may swoop down
suddenly and upst the- conditions of
the most careful weather expert. The
government is fully aware of thfs limi
tation to its prognostications, and
hence they are warranted good for
only twenty-four houra.
The oldest and most universal
method of forecasting weather condi
tions is by observation of the phases
of the moon. It is the simnlest, the
easiest learned, and the easiest to re
member, and requires no Inst-uments
and involves no Intricate calculations.
Tt consists simply In observing the po
sition of the new moon. If it lies
level on its back, it is a dry moon, be
cause it is in a position to hold water;
but if it hangs by one corner it is a
wet moon, because the watPr can
easily spill out. This is an there Is to

These machines are splendid for students and
business men who have few letters to write. They
are simple. For that reason easy
to learn how to operate and less apt
to get out of order. One of the
salespeople in the stationery de
partment has become very pro
ficient on the Odell and will tell you
all about them. The price has al

it except that if the new moon is far
south it will also be a warm moon,
but if far north it will be a cold
moon.
There is a class of moon weather
prognosticators that hold to the
theory that when the new moon lies
level on its back it will be a wet
moon, because it is in a position to
hold water, and if it hangs by one
corner it will be a dry moon, because
all the water has already run out. To
""dinav rflnd these two moon
theories contradict each other, but in
10 this it can be said that pre
dictions of the kind of weather that is
to come, based upon either of these
apparently contradictory theories, are
verified about as often on the one
theory as the other, and so it matters
not which theory the forecaster
adopts he will hit it right half the
time. Southern Lumberman.
BIBLE NAMES FOR HORSES.
Kentuckian Also Falls Back on Shakes
peare in Some Cases.
"Speaking of peculiar names for ani
mals," said a traveling man last night,
"I know a man who owns no less than
twenty-five teams In connection with a
large farm in the blue grass section and
he has fifty horses. He tries to name
them all after prominent characters in
the Bible. Several were mares and
with the second crop of colts he found
himself in dire straits. He was not a
church-goer, in fact I don't suppose he
ever saw the inside of a church, and
his knowledge of Biblical names was a
trifle limited.
"With his second crop of colts he
turned to Shakespeare for his names.
Finally, he sold several horses, but he
still retains his twenty-five teams and
the neighbors have great sport over the
curious combination of names.
" 'Ed,' I heard him saying to his
hired man one morning, T wish you
would hitch Moaes up with King Lear
and lead Nebuchadnezzar down for a
new pair of shoes. Coming back, turn
Falstaff out In the lower pasture. He's
getting pretty thin, and before you go
you might give Solomon a feed.'
"At times he has Hamlet plodding
along dusty roads beside Adam Eve
is often harnessed with Henry VIII
His neighbors have never been able to
learn how he keeps all the names
straight, but he evidently succeed "
