CHECK ON TAG DAY.
JS'cw York Authorities ConUned the
Effort Within Doors.
New Tork, Jarr. 30. "Tag day' set for
today to raise funds for the destitute
orphans of Calabria and Sicily was
necessarily handicapped as a result or
e misunderstanding of those in charge
of the work in construing the attitude
of Police Commissioner Bingham, with
regard to a permit. Mr. Bingham now
ays that no permit was issued, while
Mayor McClellan put a further obstacle
in the way of the workers by saying
that no school children could partici
pate in the tagging without permission
of the school board.
It had been planned to have hun
dreds of children and young women go
through the streets, seeking subscrip
tions of every one in sight, but in view
f the developments the work was car
ried on quietly in doors. The proprie
tors of several department stores, the
aters and public places allowed the tag
ging to be carried on in their places.
PREFETCHED EGGS TO COIN.
Thieves Take Fifty Cases of Eggs in
Preference to Bullion.
Chicago, Jan. 30. A dairy company
has offered a reward of $100 for infor
mation leading to the arrest and con
viction of desperadoes who ravished
its warehouse of fifty cases of eggs. It
is pointed out that with the same ef
fort and ingenuity they might have
obtained a wagon load of bullion but
they preferred eggs, and the reason, is
not obscure. s
Eggs are now retailing at about four
cents the egg, somewhere near forty
eight cents the dozen.
There has been a net advance of five
cents in two days. This price, dealers
affirm, is not justified by weather con
ditions or by the want of activity in
the henneries of the country.
The dealers declare that values have
been manipulated by a clique of oper
ators -on the local . butter and eggs
board.

BIXJODED KITTENS DEAD.
Analysts of One of the Stomachs
Shows Presence of Strychnine.
Chicago, Jan. 30. Eight blooded
kittens which took prizes in the re
cent Beresford cat exhibition are
dead from poison. and their owner,
Mrs. J. B. Moos, is at a loss to know
to whom to point an accusing finger.
After the show, the kittens, each
with its prize ribbons, were returned
to their handsome cattery and locked
into the wire-grated and padlocked
house and yard. Less than a week
later they were all dead. and an
analysis of one of the stomachs dis
closed the presence of strychnine.
"Only one man has access to
them," said Mrs. Moos, "and we do
not in the least suspect him. Of
course, anyone could throw things in
through the gratings."
CARGO IS ATTACKED.
Another Suit Is Filed Against the
Steamer Florida.
New York, Jan. 30. Additional legal
complications have been added to the
suits arising from the collision of the
White Star liner Republic and the
Italian line steamer Florida by the
filing of a libel against the Florida by
Edward M. Timmins, owner of the tug
John M. Timmins."'.-.
Timmins has started suit for salvage
pending the settlement of which United
States Marshal Henkel has attached
the Florida's cargo. Timmins sets
forth that his tug took the Florida in
tow between the Ambrose lightship
and Fire island, and that he is entitled
to liberal salvage. The White Star line
had previously brought suit against the
owners of the Florida for the loss of
the Republic.
REWARD OF $5,000.
Secures Arrest of Fugitive From Jus
tice After 12 Years..
Denver, Jan. 30. Charles Herndon,
alias Charles Howard, charged with
the murder of his wife on a lonely
road in 'the mountains of Whitley
county, Ky., in 1896. and for whose
capture a reward of $5,000 was of
fered, has been arrested on his farm
near Byers by two Denver detectives.
Herndon was traced through the
southern states into Mexico. He took
up a homestead near Byers some years
ago and has been living quietly on his
farm since that time. Herndon had
been released from the Kentucky
penitentiary where he served nine
months for stabbing Sydney Ingram in
a quarrel about his wife but a short
time before the murder of Mrs. Hern
don took place.
MASS OF DATA ON HAND
Concerning the Cost of Manufactured
Articles Abroad.
Washington, Jan. 30. Members of
the house committee on ways and
means recently asked different execu
tive departments to procure for them
from foreign countries all the facts
obtainable regarding the cost of labor
and other expenses incident to the pro-r
duction of manufactured articles
abroad for use in the preparation of
the tariff bill.
A large mass of such data has been
receded, and much of it has come in
the various languages of the countries
in which it originated. The bureaus
supplying the information are general
ly limited in the number of their
clerks, and most of them nre especial
ly short on translators. The commit
tee itself has none. Whether the
house will open its purse and provide
the needed translators or dispense with
the information is problematical.
TO RAISE MILK. PRICES.
Two Thousand Farmers Will Attend
a Chicago Meeting.
Chicago, Jan. 30. Two thousand
farmers are expected to attend a mass.
meeting of milk producers Monday to
demand that the price of milk be
raised. They will represent pro
ducers from Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin and all cities which send
milk to Chicago either directly or
through bottling firms and condensed
milk dealers.
"Practically every' farmer in this
district will join the association."
said an official. "We will . at once
make a demand for higher prices and
we will light for it. There will not
be a can of milk sold until we get i
more for our product."

THREW SAFE INTO RIVER
Express Messenger Took Measure to
Foil Possible Robbers.
' New York, Jan. 30. According to
William M. Barrett, first vice presi
dent of the Adams Express company,
a safe containing money and a chest
of valuable packages were thrown
from a car of the company into the
Susquehanna river in Pennsylvania
on Thursday night, but have been re
covered. They were found between
Marysville and Bridgeport, Pa. The
messenger in charge of the valuables
cast them into the river while his car
was crossing a bridge between the two
towns, fearing, he said, that robbers
were about to attack him.. He was
startled, he said, by an explosion un
der the car and this led him to adopt
quick means of frustrating the sup
posed robbers.
Private detectives are investigating
the case, but as yet the cause of the
explosion has not been ascertained.
Divers, by dint of hard work, located
and raised the safe and chest with
contents practically intact.

STEAMER'S GRAND FIGHT
'CTty of Marquette" Has a Powerful
Battle for Existence. ' .
Chicago, Jan, . 30. Probably - the
most, tnruiing- incident of the -widespread
storm in this section was the
I battle of the steamer Citv of Mar
quette against raging Lake Michigan
as it fought its way in a sinking con
dition along the Illinois shore from
Chicago to Waukegan.
With the firemen standing in water
I up to their waists and shoveling coal
into a feeble fire, the boat "limped"
into Waukegan elevn rinnrs after it
left Chicago. Before it reached its
.dock the water rose orer the fires and
the aid of a tue had to be secured.
The whole upper works of the boat
were shattered by the waves that
broke over it, and it was only by
great exertions that it was kept afloat.
The City of Marquette is a wooden
boat, drawing fourteen feet of water.
The bows, however. : are reinforced
with steel for breaking the ice, and it
has made daily trips for years.
Its crew of 12 men had gone
through many stormy voyages, -but af
ter they set foot in Waukegan with
their clothing frozen on them, they
vowed they never again would tempt
fate on Lake Michigan in winter. Capt.
Arthur Hill was the only one un
daunted. He declared that he would
have the "City" in shape in a week or
two and continue in spite of ice and
northeaster.
A grewsome result of the disturb
ance of Lake Michigan was the yield
ing up by the waters of the body of
the former lighthouse keeper of the
port, F. W. Raether. which was taken
by them in a similar storm fourteen
months ago. The body was identified
by its gold teeth and a' wedding ring.
PLETHORIC MOSEY MARKET
Responsible for- a Sustained Demand
for Bonds.
New York, Jan. 30. The plethoric
money market was responsible for a
sustained and comprehensive demand
for bonds during the week. Its effect
on stocks was modified by the signs of
a halt in business reflected from the
disappointing flattening out of the iron
and steel trade, depression in the copper
marKet ana the moderate rate of ex
pension in trade in general.
The sale of control of the Chesapeake
& Ohio kept alive rumors of other rail
road deals and caused sharp advances
in Individual stocks. E. H. Harriman's
election as a New York Central direc
tor proved to have been discounted
Trading was largely professional and
movements fitful-and irregular.
SOTHERN IN NEW ROLE.
Appears Tor the First Time in Charac
ter of Richelieu.
San Francisco, Jan. 30. E. H. Soth
ern achieved another triumph last
night when for the first time in his
histrionic career he appeared in the role
of Richelieu before a crowded house at
the Van Ness theater. SOthern handled
the subject in a masterly manner and
his impersonation of the cardinal was
a notable success.
The only criticism made was that his
portrayal of Richelieu "' was somewhat
too sweet and loving and that he did
not' strongly bring out the sinister and
crafty traits of the cardinal's charac
ter.
RELICS OF LINCOLN.
. ,
Proposed Porcliase by the Govern-
nient Is Taken Up.
Washington, Jan. 30. The house

.IT'S MEN WHO GO MAD.
Rev. Anna Shaw Defends Women
Against Cliarge of Being Emotional.
New York, Jan. 30. The Rev. Anna
Shaw, in an address before -the Equal
Franchise society, at the home of Mrs.
Clarence H. Mackay, stoutly defended
woman suffrage. She said:
"I have seen men hug and kiss each
other In an election aftermath. I have
seen them smash another fellow's hat
or slap him on the back until his
breath was gone, and yet they say
women are too emotional to vote. I
never saw a woman, no matter how
great her excitement, take off her bon
net and wave or crush in the bonnet
of some other woman or slap another
till she gasped. Women don't know
anything about emotion. It is men
who go mad.- '
. "They say women should stay at
home and control their - husband's
vote." she -continued. "No woman
controls her husband's vote. If she
could, she would be too ashamed of
having married such a man to let any
body know she controlled him.
"Wyoming has had equal franchise
for forty years, yet there has only been
one case of fraudulent voting on the
part of women.
"Depraved women will not be made
saints by the ballot; they will sell that
as they sell their souls."
R. R. EXPENSES HIGHER.
And Rates Much Lower Than Thirty
Years Ago, Says President Brown.
New York," Jan. 30. W. C. Brown,
president of the New York Central
railroad deplored attacks on the rail
roads in an address at the annual din
ner of the New York University "School
of Commerce. It was at this dinner
that Koklchi Midzuni, Japanese consul
general in this city, spoke of the mis
understanding between this country
and Japan.
In his address, Mr. Brown said in
part:
"Wages of railroad employes in the
United States and almost of every arti
cle used in construction, maintenance
and operation, average 75 . per cent
higher, while freight rates average
fully 60 per cent lower than 30 years
ago.
"Is there not food for serious
thought in" these facts and do they not
argue powerfully for patient and kind
ly forbearing consideration of the
railroad question as a whole."
II. B. HOWARD BRANCHES OUT.

here seventeen years ago, a young man
Just out of his, teens, fresh from hjs
machinist's apprenticeship and with
only $100 and his trade to begin on.
By hard word. and. close attention to all
details he has developed a business of
which he has a right to be proud, but
it has grown to such proportions he
finds it best to incorporate in order to
properly handle the steadily increasing
trade.
H. M. Starr has been with the Con
tinental Creamery company for the
past six years and resigns his position
there as chief clerk in the sales de
partment to become secretary and
