A story /of Sir Hiram Maxim is going
the rounds In England. It is said that
when he and Lady Maxim. were staying
at a summer resort not long ago" the.landr
lord of the hotel was somewhat doubtful
about a check offered in payment of their
bill. He kne,w the name, but 'not. th£' face
of the signer, and Sir. Hiram had not
enough money to pay : the bill in cash.
Lady Maxim finally suggested' that' the
proprietor", go to the pier, put a penny' 1 ' in
a certain slot and look. He saw a- picture'
of Sir Hiram Maxlm.flrhiga gun In the
presence of the Shah of Perslaand ;was

often than not their mental Inclination is
toward something that other men would
regard as puerile. We have a ywealthy

struck by an arrow, which remained fast

It is "said, broke off the protruding bit of

He refused to extract it, because the case

day's session of tfie-trial'dl Dr. Alexan v
der. charged- wfth "grave' robbery, -opened
with trie testimony of .Jacob Kurtz, a. city
detective, who was formerly the turnkey
at the County Jail. He corroborated Dr.
Anderson's testimony that Cantrell tele
phoned October 18 from the jail, to Dr.
Alexander's office.
Dr. Alexander. took the stand. He spoke
in fL. low but clear tone. He was gradu
ated March 25, 1805, from the Indiana Col
lege and opened an office In this city. He
further testliled that he made efforts to
secure dissecting,' material In different
parts of the State without avail. On one
occasion' In July, 1902, he said, he talked
with Cantrell about procuring bodies.
"Cantrell told me lie had procured bodies
for several colleges at times and .would
like to do it again," the witness said.
Dr. Alexander said - he made arrange
ments with Cantrell to supply the college
with material at his own expense for J*)
a body C. O. D. at the college.
Dr. Alexander said said he was em
ployed to deliver thirty lectures at tho
Central College during the school term of
1901-02 on descriptive anatomy, of skele
tons. He admitted his duty was to pro
cure dissecting- material for the college.
"I paid for* the- material, the work of
preservation and in addition delivered 100
lectures," he testified.
"When did you first meet Rufus Can
trell?" ji-'-i
"I met him In June, 1002. We had a lot
of uncleaned skeletons in the old college
building. Cantrell, who was alone, told
me he had worked about colleges and
wanted employment. I made arrange
ments and employed Cantrell 'to clean the
skeletons for.?25 and advanced him $3 50."
CALL. HEADQUABTBRS. SACRAMENTO,
Feb. 10.— The Senate is having a merry time
over Devlin's resolution to "request" Senator
Perkins to vote against the proposed Cubin
reciprocity treaty. -. The original' resolution:
was for instructing Perkins, and a hoi battle
was waged in the upper house and finally the
word "instruct" . was stricken out and. the
word ."request" substituted.
Senator Hahn brought Mie matter up this
morning by calling for a Vote on the resolu
tion. A roll call developed the fact that there
were not enough membtrs present to adopt the
resolution. Wolfe ¦ asked for a call of the
house and this waa granted. ' Sergeants-at
erms scurried around the building looking for
Senators and found none. After the. call
of the house was dispensed with another vote
was taken on the resolution and only thirteen
voted in favor of it,- while twenty -three were
opposed to its adoption. Wolfe changed from
no to aye and gave notice of a reconsidera
tion. . ' •¦¦¦•¦• •

"There has been a man here throughout this
session. " said he, "who is paid well by 'the
State to enforce the game laws. All he has
done this year has been to lobby, lobby, lobby,
while It is a well-known fact that the game
laws are being disregarded ¦ in this very City.
He is here-using his Influence to thwart the
wishes of the people and' I tell you it is not
right." 1
Prescott saved Vogelsang from a further
roasting from that source by making the point
of order that the speaker was not addressing
himself to the question under discussion, but
a moment later Dougherty took up the cudgel
and applied it to Vogelsang with equal vigor.
lie said:
"When I came here. I had the idea we were
tent here to serve the -wishes of the people, but
Instead I find the Klsh Commissioner's deputy
here doing what? Not his duty, for which ho
Is paid; not attending to his own business; not
doing that for which he is paid, but Instead
trying to influence members not' to do what the
people wish. But for his efforts the State would
be divided Into fish and game districts, as the
people demanded."
McMartlrt was -the' first member to make
an attack, "upon the t*ish Commissioner's dep
uty. • He a£s«»rted that Vogelsang would serve
the people better by enforcing the laws Instead
ot remaining here trying 1 to Influence, merotoepg
of the IseRislature an to how they should vote.
He thought things had come to -a pretty pass
when a State empldye could thus brazenly ¦ tell
the members what they should do. ; = •
Soward of Sierra was the next to score the
deputy. He mentioned no names, but every
body knew who he -.meant. . mS*r^'-' '
There had been a fight in the upper house,
and the fact- that -Vogelsang has been lobby-
Ing for the measure is 'notorious. In the As-
F<?mbly to-day several of the members endeav
ored to amend the bill," but so Well had been
done the work of those who supported the bill
that had it been' decided . in "caucus- - not to
amer.d th? bill the efforts of- those who wanted
it amended could not have been more futile.

It appears that the insertion in th« Ger
man protocol of the provision for advance '
payment of the original $340,000 demanded !
of President Castro in the German ulti
matum was the result of a misunder
standing on the part of the German For
eign Office of certain steps here. Through
the activity of the German Minister,
Baron Speck von Sternberg, this point is
being: cleared up.
The Italian Emb&ssador's instructions
are' such that he can make little head
way until he knows what is contained in
the German protocol. He, however, ha3
made a rough draft of his convention and
It will take only a short time after the
completion of the German convention for-
Signor Mayor des Planches to put the
finishing touches to his protocol.
Bowen has done 'everything possible to
conclude the negotiations with dispatch
in order that the blockade might be
raised, and he to-night expressed his be
lief that he was receiving In this effort
the sincere support of artl the negotiators.
If a serious hitch occur at the eleventh
hour Bowen is confident that It will be
through no fault of any one of the rep
resentatives of the allies here. Should
the protocol of Germany and Italy, when
presented to him, contain provisions not
in line with those of the British, the
negotiations must be prolonged until a
satisfactory arrangement can bo reached.
WASHINGTON. Feb. lO.-Great Brit

respects to that of the Eritish Embas
'sador. Owing to the illness of the British

bassador his approval of the agreement.

against this tendency. It takes the form
of a letter tb Mrs. John Van Vorst,. joint

a preface to the book, which will be pub

which Mrs. Van Vorst deplored .tho vol

She declares that' fecundity among them
is less than, in any other nation of the
world, unless it be France, whose anxiety
regarding her depopulation we would
share in full measure were it not for for

LOUISE REPENTS
HER ELOPEMENT
By Blanche Partin^tcn.
To-morrow evening will better show j
where Mile, de Lu?san, v.no gave her \
first pong: recital here last evening at;
Stcinway Hail. Ftands on the concert !
platform. Fascinating as ever, the singer j
was vocally In not quite best form last \
right, a rfight cold impeding her j
freedom of expression. There was only j
enough 'of indisposition to compel careful- i
ness In the use of the voice, but as her |
dramatic abandon Is one of de Lussan's
chief charms, it contrived notably to in- j
terfere. f
Still, there was quite enough of her |
characteristic plcturesqueness, of her rich j
warmth of voice, to make the programme
thoroughly enjoyable.
Possibly the best-enjoyed number was I
the famous "La Paloma," thoroughly ;
within the metier of the ginger. Its pl
o.uant measures were given with all the
point and flavor of which they are. capa- ,
ble. an<T the rendering reused the audience
to large enthusiasm. In this, as in the j
"Habanera," de Lu??an came Into com
parison with our buxom local idol. Col
iurr.arini. not. last evening, wholly to h»r
advantage. But the "Habanera ' came
last^ upon the programme, and de L.ussa'n
was' doubtless not then wholly in the
mood fcr its languorous Insinuation, so
piquantly conveyed in her Carmen of. a
few years ago, and more lately by our
K»<tafania. As I have said before, to-mor
row evening will better show her work as
a whole.
There will be nothing- better done, how
ever, than the little "Chanson d' Adieu,"
(Tosti), that, charming in itself, was most
artistically sung last night. The "Mlg
non" song, "Know'st Thou the Land?"
v.-as also very pleasing, and the Puccini
waltz song of Musette came agreeably.
The Abt, Franz and Schumann numbers
rathor lacked in simplicity of treatment
and there were a few modern ballads on
the programme that hardly deserved to be
there.
The same may be said of the piano solos
chosen by Mr. Fronani, who, however, ac
companied very tastefully. Glazonouw, a
modern ' Russian who seems to have es
caped the "divine contagion," was , re
sponsible for. the first movement, a trivial
and unmusical "Caprlccio." The Retnecke
Andantino that followed Is a sketch, prob
ably an early work, and was sicklied over
with a thick false sentiment by the pian
ist. The Thome, "Spanish Dance,"' bores
also, but differently. Mr. Fronani has not
much to work with, but these things
might be spared us. To-morrow evening
he gives us Chopin and Raff.

SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. lO.-The South
ern 'Railroad's Palm Limited train to-day
had to run back nearly twenty-flve miles
to pick up a passenger. The train Is due
to arrive In Savannah at 10:20 a", m. It
was an hour or to late, and running at Its
best speed when it passed Pineiand, the
station of a club by that name, twenty
two mites above Hardeeville. and one of
the resorts of wealthy New Yorkers, by
whom it was organized. ,
As the train drew near the station three
or four persons were seen on the platform.
The engineer went by without stopping..
In the party was Mrs. Cornelius Vander
bilt, who had decided to run down and
spend the night at the country home of her
brother. R. T. Wilson Jr.. near Bluffton.
Mrs. Vanderbilt waved her parasol to the
engineer to stop, but It was unheeded.
The fact that the limited had gone by
without stopping did not worry her. She
gat' Mr. Vanderbilt to telegraph to Har
deeville and have the|train ordered back.
It is not known what arguments were
contained in the message, but they were
potent, for whfen the train, reached Har
deeville it was ordered back for the Van
derbilt party, it is said the engineer. was
sharply rebuked for ignoring the parasol

RULERS OFJTHE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Lead-
ers in Every Branch of Human
Achievement.
The ruling nations of the world ara
meat eaters, and history records that they
always have been.
Vegetarians . and food cranks may ex-
plain this in any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans.
English, French, Russians and Germans
are meat eating nations, and they are
also the most energetic and most progres-
Sl The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier, known as Biltong, is a sort or
dried betf. i.ffording a great deal of nour-
ishment in. a highly concentrated form.
The weak races of people are tho rica
eating Chinese, Hindoos and Siamese, re-
garded since the dawn of history as non-
progressive, superstitious and Inferior
physically and mentally to the meat eat-
ing nations v.-ho dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plainly Indi-
cates that human beings should subsist
upon a variety of food— meat, fruit and
grains— and it is unhygienic to confine
one's diet to any one of those classes to
the exclusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and most
easily digested of foods, but our manner
of living is often so unnatural that the .
digestive organs refuse to properly digest ',
meat, eggs and similar nutritious and
' wholesome food: but It is not becausa
such food is unwholesome, but the real
I reason is that the stomach lacks, from
disease or weakness, some necessary di-
gestive element. Hence arising Indiges-
tion and later on chronic dyspepsia.
Nervoua people should eat plenty ot
| meat; convalescents should make meat
: the principal food; hard working peopla
have to do so. and brain workers and
office men should eat not so much meat,
but at least once a day, and to insure ita
' perfect digestion one or two of Stuart's
i Dyspepsia Tablets should be taken after
each meal, because they supply the pep-
tones, diastase and fruit acids lacking In
' every case of stomach trouble.
Nervous, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach.
; gastritis, sour stomach, gas and acidltv
are only different names for Indigestion,
the failure to digest wholesome food, and
the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets cure*
I them all. because by affording perfect di-
! gestion the stomach has a chance to rest
| and recover its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the real
household medicine; it Is safe and pleas-
ant for the stomach ache of the baby as
it is for the Imperfect digestion of it*
! grandslre.
j They are not a cathartic, but a dlgea-
' tive, and no pill habit can ever follo-r
their use. The only habit Stuart's Tab-
lets induce Is the habit oi good digestion,
and consequently good health.
