BARGAIN HUNTERS
PAY HIGH PRICES
-_ — i s \u25a0
Uncle Sam's Auction Sale At
tracts Many Bidders for
Unclaimed Packages
Bargain hunters of both sexes sat
on the bleachers in the big seizure
room in the appraisers' stores in Wash
ington street and bid regular money
for the incongruous assortment of ar
ticles offered by Uncle Sam at his an
nual spring sale of unclaimed and
abandoned soods. Colonel J. H. Story
umpired the proceedings, says the New
York Herald, and with his accustomed
cheerfulness managed to inject marly
a laugh into the commercial atmos
phere. Half the articles in the cata
logue brought $5,000, and an equal
:< mount is expected before the sale
end?.
No more varied collection of stuff
could be imagined than that which is
disposed of on these occasions. It
comes from all parts of the. globe and
falls into Collector Loeb's hands
through the failure or refusal to pay
duty. Some of the things sold were
statues, pictures, straw hats, silk hats,
underwear, artificial Sowers. golf
sticks, canned tomatoes, lace curtains,
shotguns, wall paper, prunes, postal
• \u25a0nrds. matting, candy, coffins, skyrock
ets, overalls, pottod beef, roller skates,
umbrella handles, razors, hair re
storer, pipes, ales, wines, liquors and
eigarp.
The most spirited bidding of the day
was between a bevy of boarding house
proprietors from the dyspepsia district,
who never miss a chance to bid" for the
canned stuff auctioned at these sales.
There were eipht of them and they had
seats in "A" row. There were enough
canned tomatoes to go around, but
when Colonel Story announced he had
but two eases of prunes the women
cleared their throats for action and the
bidding started.
HID* HIGH tffill PRUNES
The wrinkled bachelor delicacy went
to the energetic head of a Seventeenth
street house. She ran the figure up
to 511, which caused the bthers to ob
serve that there was no profit in them
at that price. This brought the infor
mation from the purchaser that she
intended to inflate each prune with a
bicycle pump and make it do the work
of a dozen. Tills plan was cheered
by the other women and they gather
round ;i nd coaxed her to give up the
formula.
Before bidding on casks of liquor,
prospective customers are permitted to
sample the stuff, a privilege which in
variably brings around some of the
best little samplers in the city. One
tangerine faced little man with a gi
raffe neck got so full of samples that
he was unable to bid when the time
came. Before retiring in a collapsible
condition he managed to whisper that
he would return for the rest of it, but
• "olonel Story informed him that his
thirst would not gr»u any further chance
to indulge in spring practice at the
government's expense,
riCTIRK FOR SIRS. VA.VDERBILT
Much interest was manifested in an
oil painting of a little girl and her pet
dog which wa_ sent on speculation to
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt by an Ameri
can artist in Paris. Mrs. Vanderbilt
hasn't shown any great anxiety over
the fact that it has been in captivity
for nearly a year, and it will be sold if
a respectable bid is offered. A large
number of the unclaimed i<irticles are
sent to notables in this country who
never ordered them.
Some admirer in Austria forwarded
two bottles of hair restorer to "Mr.
Andrew Carnoogie. Plttsburg." but evi
dently the ironmaster thinks his hair
is coming out fast enough. If he could
see the spelling he wouldn't hesitate a
second about shipping his admirer a
library.
Right after a buxom widow bought
a chest of tea a man next to her with
a mourning band around his hat bid
successfully for a barrel of sugar. They
had a whispered conversation, the up
shot of which was that she promised
the tea and he agreed to come across
with the sugar.
A woman's tailor with cerise whisk
ers was the only bidder for a wax fig
ure of a beautiful young roraan. He
declined to follow the suggestions to
buy her one of half a dozen moth
eaten bonnets which were waiting to
be adopted. It looked as if a sack of
beans was destined to remain in bond
age until a man who was born in Bos
ton bought them for sentimental reas
ons.
OBJECT TO ENGLISH
MARRIAGE SERVICE
"With Goods I Thee Endow" Is
Now Never Kept
English society women have at last
found a new outlet for their political
activity — reform of the marriage serv
ice of the Church of England, says the
Washington Post-
They Fay that the service compares
man with the Almighty, and they ob
ject to it. This is the paragraph they
particularly object to:
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your
husbands as unto the Lord."
"I do not deny that many godlike
qualities," says Lady McLaren, but I
do rrot think man can claim to have
the authority of God. Besides, the
-service contains another great thun
dering lie in the man's vow, 'With all
my worldly goods I thee endow.' The
husband says that In the presence of
God and the assembled company. It
is not the truth. Jt is a lie."
Lady McLaren declares that women
married In the Catholic, Jewish and
noncomformist churches can keep their
vows, while those marrie'. in the
Church of England can not. Moreover,
her husband agrees with her, and will
Introduce eight bllJs in the house of
commons, all bearing upon the rights
of women. Apparently, then, her com
plaint is not a personal one. Her
own husband is willing to humor her
to the point of carrying the war Into
parliament. She is acting for less
fortunate women of England who have
submitted themselves unto their hus
bands as unto the Lord, and incident
ally have gone about breaking the win
dows of government buildings and
horsewhipping public officials.
Even If Lady McLaren does not suc
ceed In her enlightened campaign she
will have the consolation of knowing
that the old system, whereby the cave
man tapped the lady of his choice on
the head with a- club and carted her off
willy-nilly, is 'no longer in effect in
England -or other civilized countries.
Moreoyer, she may console herself with
the thought that none of her sex is
compelled to enter into the .objection
able contract against her will. The un
fortunate reflection that must come to
her is that If'she does\ succeed in
changing the service it will not make
a great deal of difference in. the. atti
tude of English husbands toward their
wives. To change conditions she will
have to look a little 'further beyond
the wording of the service.
Among the latest activities of awak
ening China is to be a service of motor
cars across the Gobi desert to replace
the tea caravans of "old. .
An eight track swln& bridge across
the main channel of the Chicago drain
age canal, near, Thirty-first street, will
be operated by electricity.
LONDON BECOMING
SECOND GOTHAM
Rapidly Losing Old Cumbersome
Ways and Taking on Hust
ling Appearance
Of course, London is not England;
yet to the Britisher abroad for any
length of time England resolves it6elf
Into London in a most peculiar way.
The home comer is apt to judge by
London. It counts for so much when
you are away. '. You go so much by
what it-says about art and literature,
the, stage and music. It is the center
of the empire, the center of civilization
almost, far more than It Is to the
dweller in an English provincial town.
Distance and enhance its
charms and- multiply its virtues. It
exercises a wonderful fascination. It
assumes an importance which, when
the subject is calmly discussed on the
spot, is seen to be somewhat exag
gerated.
London has changed. It is no longer
the London of one's dreams.
London is bigger and more impressive
than it was a decade ago, yet it lacks
much of its old flavor. It has gained
in pace, but lost in picturesqueness,
says an Englishman in the Chicago In
ter Ocean. It is more convenient but
less romantic. It is wealthier and more
bewildering, but it is also more tiring,
more noisy, and less — I think "aristo
cratic" is the word.
Motor cabs, motor omnibuses, elec
tric railways and tubes have trans
formed London. One travels faster and
more easily than one used to do. Sub
urbs which were unattainable save by
the most adventurous traveler can now
be reached by an elderly spinster with
a dachshund. Districts one knew by
name but never hoped to see are thrust
before one's eyes in 'the course of an
hour's journey.
As you fly from quarter to quarter
something of the awe which London
once inspired begins to fade away. It
is like driving out from Hyderabad to
see Golconda. Two miles away the
imagination peoples the great rock
fortress with nobles and fighting men,
besieged and besiegers. Under one's
nose it is but a heap of stone.
Today London has no mysteries. You
can go anywhere arid you go too quick
ly and too easily. No mirage of the
imagination is possible. You look back
with something like regret to the old
days when the hansom cab was the
apogee of comfort and speed and the
laziness of the old horse omnibus was
one of the delights of the* traveler.
Now a scent of petrol lurks in the air
and the mud of the street is colored
by oceans of waste black lubricating
oil.
And the people have changed. They,
too, have quickened their pace. They
have suited themselves to a city of
motor cabs and innumerable trains.
They do everything quicker than
they did a decade ago.. They walk
faster and talk faster and eat faster.
They read more quickly and look at the
shop windows more hastily. Every
thing is in a state of rush; everything
forces you to hustle. The trains and
the tramway cars do not wait for pas
sengers as long as they used to 10
years ago. All London goes faster, and
makes more noise in doing it. Lon
doners would now be quite at home in
New York. Already some of them, it
seems to me, speak with an American
accent.
And — horrible as the impression is,
it can not be concealed — London has
become shabby.. Just a. little shabby,
anyway. I realize the serious nature
of the charge. You may call a city
fast. Mammon worshiping, or political
ly lethargic, or without local patriot
ism, or selfish, or indifferent, and be
forgiven. But shabby!
And yet it seems to me that London
is not as smart as it used to be a
decade ago. Pehaps people now order
their clothes in a hurry and dress too
quickly to put them on properly. Per
haps it is one effect of the spirit of
travel which is abroad which impels
the wealthy people who could dress
smartly to hasten abroad, and fills
London with the less well dressed peo
ple who, 10 years ago, did not stay In
London at all.
London is less English nowadays.
Every year it belongs more and more
to the world and less to England. It Is
too cosmopolitan to be regarded as a
type of English life. It is more like a
great international exhibition, a gigan
tic sight seeing center. In the old days
London was always, in a sense, homely.
Now it soon tires one. The pace kills.
The temptation is to do too much. Back
in the days of the- hansom and the
horse, when the Marble arch was not
a refuge in a sea of traffic, one engage
ment comfortably filled half a day.
Now you. do three days' work in one.
It seems to me. too, that the strain of
London tells more heavily upon the
resident population than was formerly
the case. In every department of busi
ness life the pace has quickened. Men
work faster, but they do* not work
shorter hours. In the great colonial
towns one finds a good deal of "hust
ling" of the American variety. Yet at
the end of, the day I do not think you
see so many tir^d looking people as
you do in London.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE AND
HOW IS A TRAMP?
Wanderer Is Classed With Other
Freaks of Nature
The tramp is an Interesting creature
when viewed jj from his several ' points.
Who is he, and what Is he; where d|d
he come from, and where is he going
to? That he Is we all know, but as to
why he Is we are not able to say, says
the Plttsburg Gazatte-TJmes.
But if there be musical freaks, mathe
matical •wonders, contortionists, snake
charmers anJ sword swallowers, why
not tramps, beggars and thieves? Are
not these all freaks in a general s^nse,
and In particular?
How much do you lack of being a
freak, or a tramp, or a thief? A little
more, a very little, of the wanderlust
in your makeup might have sent you
adrift; a little less of tha honest im
pulses and you might have gathered
where 'you had not sown; while a
slightly different mixture of tastes
could have caused your ambition to
lead into freakdom.
As are your tastes and desires so
are you, and as you cultivate them so
will. you be. , :
JURY SUSTAINS MAN'S
RIGHT TO SING FREELY
Vocalist Disturbed Church Serv
ices, but Is Acquitted
The rigrht of an Individual to ' singr
according to -his lights (and voice)
while others present at a church serv
ice, arc singing has been sustained^ by
an Indiana Jury, says the Hartford
Courant. It seems ''.that three .trained
singers, who had | carefully rehearsed
a difficult selection, were giving- the
•selection aa a part of a,regular public
service and were creating an exceed-,
ingly favorable -'impression^ Then , a
man, not a trained singer,; but; gifted
with a heavy bass voice, was moved to
sing. His co-operation' was unwel
come- and- disturbing;; and he. was po
litely but, firmly -asked, to quit. He
only . sang the louder; and * after:; the
benediction he .was . arrested on the
charge of disturbing public^worship. VAV A
Jury acquitted him on the ground that
he had probably. done the best he could.
THE SAIN i^KAiN UISUO (JAUL., MOJN DA V , AJ*KJLL Z5, : lUIU.
LIVES TWO WEEKS
ON 2 SQUIRRELS
Man Lost in Woods Is Rescued
by Searchers After Ter«
rible Experience
A terrible tale of suffering and en
durance in the wilds of northern Mich
igan is gained from the disjointed story
told by a Finlander who is now in. the
general hospital, Canadian Soo, having
been brought by a special train from
up the Algoma Central railway. ;
Nearly a month ago Ell Kankus
started up the line to obtain work at
one of the -many lumber camps in this
district, says the New York Herald. At
the first one he applied he was told
there was no vacancy, but was as
sured that if he went on to the next
he would find employment. He ac
cordingly set out, but had not gone far
when he realized he was^lo.st in the
woods, without any food to keep him
and with little clothing to protect him
from the- elements.
OVERCOME WITH HUNGER
-. He trudged bravely on, day after
day, but saw no signs of life, except at
times a frightened deer. At last,
overcome -with fatigue and hunger, he
dropped. He had not rested long, how
ever, when the terrible numbness of his
hands and feet told him that they were
frozen. He tried to get up and walk,
but he was too weak.^nd.on his hands
and knees he 'traveled until he came
across an Indian's trap with a dead and
frozen red squirrel In It. This he de
voured and continued his painful jour
ney, still looking for some signs of
habitation. The crisp surface of the
snow tore his wrists in a terrible man
ner as he went along.
The Indian who owned the traps a
few dayß later in making his rounds
discovered one empty and many blood
stains in the vicinity. Surmising some
thing was peculiar about the circum
stance, he s<*t out for' Batchewana, a
two days' journey. Here he obtained
assistance, and, with three others set off
and followed the trail. Pour days aft
erward they overtook the unfortunate
Kankus, almost dead from hunger and
exhaustion, but \ with true Saxon
tenacity still clinging to life. On the
way they found another trap from
which a red squirrel had been re
moved, and learned that \ Kankus had
existed for 12 days in the bush on the
two small animals.
TOO WEAK TO TALK . v
He was too weak to speak and the
four men, .Peter.. Chiblcy.. .the Indian;
Pete Jones, another Finlander, and two
men from Baker's camp, from which
they were 10 miles distant, hurriedly
fixed up a toboggan and started for
Mile 61 on the railroad.
The toboggan soon broke down and
for eight miles the man had to be car
ried. Here it was found the regular
train had left. Communication, how
ever, being gotten to the Soo, the wood
department of the I^ake Superior cor
poration, although the man was not an
employe, rushej a special train for
him. His condition, is. serious, and if
he recovers he will be a cripple for life,
as it will be necessary to amputate his
hands and feet!
TAXED BEARDS, BABES,
BRICKS, BACHELORS
Widows Likewise Had to Pay
for Remaining Single
Henry VIII taxed beards and gradu
ated the tax according to the status of
the wearer. . For example the sheriff
of Canterbury was constrained to pay
the .yum of 3 shillings and fourpence
for the privilege of sporting his ven
erable whiskers.
Elizabeth likewise fixed a similar
tax on every beard of more -than a
fortnight's growth. Elizabeth was also
bent on making the country of a re
ligious turn of mind, and all who
stayed away from church on Sunday
rendered themselves liable to a fine,
says the London T. P.'s Weekly.' \u25a0>«
In 1695 it was 1 decided that the ar
rival of every child into the world
should be greeted by a tax. -The birth
of a child to a duke cost the proud
but harassed father 30 pounds, while
the advent of .a commoner's child into
the world was hailed with a tax of
2 shillings. Moreover, it was an ex
pensive matter to die, and bachelors
and . widowers also were compelled to
pay for the privilege of single blessed
ness.
With the advent of. more constitu
tional days freak taxation did not
cease. It was due to William Pitt that
the window, tax was instituted. In the
reign of Geojge I it was necessary to
have a license in order to sell hats.
Then there was the tax on hair pow
der and the tax on watches and
clocks. In the reign of George 111 a
duty of 2 shillings and sixpence was
imposed on bricks. At a (later period
in the same reign bricks were divided
for the purposes of taxation into com
mon and dressed brlckK and the duty
on each kind of brick was regulated
according to its size.
"LILY OF THE AIR" IS
CHINESE FOR CENTRAL
Address Hello Girls as "Butter
fly That Talks"
Kaffir women will not" pronounce
their husbands' names,, or . even use
words which contain the emphatic syl
lable.'of those names, says the Chicago
News. One . old jj woman, j being taught
to say the Lord's prayer, changed the
word for "come" in "Thy kingdom
come" to something that made non
sense, and it proved that the proper
"come" word was the ' main syllable
of her husband's name. Chinese girls,
trained in San Francisco, have begun
work in Peking as central operators In
the telephone system recently opened
in the Chinese capital. Instead of
subscribers calling, "Are you there?" or
"Hello, central !" the customary mode
of address Is "Lily- of the air" and
"Butterfly that talks." V <
