"These weather reports," said Ruf
fJbs to Billings as they silt able by side
in t!o trilley on their way to their re
Hwxrtive homes, "make me tired. When
the man In the weather tower thluks
tht're is any probability of rain he
likes the benefit of the doubt am
says 'showers for tomorrow.' This
mor-niti I proposed to my wife thot we
ni-;fce n pleasure trip with the children,
but the weather report said 'rain.' so
we gave It up. It ha been delightful
g!1 clay, and now, an hour after we
should have got home, it fa beginning
t t thickeu up. We can't go tomorrow,
for then It will ra'n sure enoush."
"Another overrated addition to our

HER HORRIBLE DEATH.
Girl Stuck in the Mud Dies of Starva
tion and Exposure.
OgJensburg, N. y,, Sept. 29. Sot kid
nn pped as had been supposed, but hav
ing met death in a more terrible "form
than could have been meted out to her
by kidnappers, was the fate of Lena Gill,
S years old, who has been r.,ising from
her home since Thursday last, near
llcscott, Ont., when she "left the house
to go on an errand for her mother,
i'or days the police and farmers had
searched the woods, but the girl wm
not found until Wednesday.
Sinking to the waist in the mud and
water of a swamp and further entan
gled in the tall swamp grasses, she had
been unable to move. How long the
frirl stood in the swamp, guttering from
btarvation and exposure, until death
mercifully put an end to her misery,
is not known, but her drawn face showed
that the struggle must have lasted for
a lotisj time.
8. S. Evan's barn at Fairfax and all
of his hay and grain was burned Satur
day night. He lost everything except
one wagon and one pair of sleds. No
stock was burned. The cause of the fire
was the bursting of his lantern. There
was a small insurance.
"I slept on a airatr in the drawing
room. It was very hot and I left a
front window open. I was an hour
getting to sleep and was awakened by
a dazzling light phinjng In my eyes. It
proved to be a bnllseye in the bauds
of a night watchman, who, noticing
the open window, was poking around
to see if anything was wrong. I drove
him away, but somehow I got to think
ing about my wife's fears at home. At
that time of night Ave are prone to mag
nify trifles and I goj up a terrific dread
lest her fears were well grounded. At
last I worked myself up to a surety
that my country home was being
robbed and my family butchered.
"The telephone bell rang out with a
sound that to me plainly cried 'Mur
der'' I ji.ini'd out of bed end went
into the ball, where the telephone bos
hung, and, putting the receiver to my
ear, asked 'Well?'
"My wife's voice, or a ghost of It, re
plied, 'Oh, Harry, there's some one try
ing to open a window ou the piazza.
"Well, call Patrick and tell him to
go down. My pistols you know where
they ar. In the tup bureau drawer
take them to him.
"There was a click as she hung up
the receiver, and 1 waited breathlessly.
In a fow minutes another click told
mo that It had been taken again, and
a frightened voice came: 'Oh, Harry,
ratrick Is not there. He was when I
looked before, but he is not now. The
window has been opened. There's
some one coming upstairs. I'm going
to faint' -
"After waiting and ringing for five
minutes It seemed an hour what do
you suppose was the nst thing I heard
from that confounded telephone? '('hol
ly, gmie to bed? No? Well, come
down to the duh and have a nightcap.'
In vain I tried to get central. It was
no U;ie; the wires hud got crossed, and
I was shut off from my wife, who was
doubtless being murdered.
"In twenty minutes I was at the sta
tion inquiring wiieu the next train left.
When they told me 'ft In the morning'
I begged for an engine. But the super
intendent had gone to bed, ami they
wouldn't wake him up. I waited In
agony till the train left nmi reached
home at S o'clock.
"My wife was In the garden with the
children picking roues. When phe turn
ed and saw -me she looked surprised
and asked wlirit brought me home.
After I bad informed her, in no affec
tionate tone, she told nie that it was
Patrick who was coming upstairs, lie
j had stolen out to g to a dance and
I got locked out. He had no difficulty hi
opening a window catch with his kuil'e,
j nd as he went past my wife's door
j there was a hitch In the telephone serv
ice. I felt something rub my leg, and,
looking down, there was Rags wanting
to say 'Good rooming.' He had got
wind the day before of a new field for
rats and had gone for a day's sport.
."What did I do? I took an ax from
the wood house and went In and smash
ed that telephone bos."

CURRENCY PLAN
IS DEFECTIVE
Says Secretary Shaw at Bank
ers' Convention.
LACKS IN ELASTICITY
He Would Have National Banks Increase
Their Circulation, If Neces
' sary, by 50 Per
Cent.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 89. Leslie M.
Shaw, secretary of the treasury, speak
ing before the annual convention of the
Ohio Hankers' Association, iu this city,
yesterday, said in part:
"The fact, and I think it is a fact
that the United States has the best
currency system in the world does not
imply that the currency system of the
United States is perfect or that it can
not be improved. It is safe as any sys
tem iu the world, because it is estab
lished on the only safe basis known to
man the gold standard. The system
is not perfect, largely because it is non
elastic. It fails to respond in volume
to the changing needs of seasons and
localities. That there will be no further
currency legislation until we shall have
experienced a panic occasioned by this
want of elasticity I am convinced. The
country does not appreciate the danger.
"Annually we have an excess of mon
ey during the spring and summer
months. Annually va pass through a
period or anxiety, as we approach the
Jeiiod of crop growing, for annually
the volume of money is relatively in
sufficient to. meet this sudden increase
of business.
"The average amount of money is in
my judgment abundant. The difficul
ty lies in the fact that the volume re
mains stationary.
"Among the many remedies suggested
none appeals to me as strongly as the
authorization of additional national bank
circulation. This method involves the
right of national banks to increase their
circulation in any amount, perhaps
equal to 50 per cent of their outstand
ing volume of government bond secured
circulation, on which the bank should
pay a tax of 5 or 6 per cent during
the time it is maintained, and the gov
ernment in consideration of this tax
should guarantee its redemption."
FOR WORLD GOOD.
Anglo-Japanese Treaty Meets
. of East.
Needs
Loudon, Sept. 29. According to the
correspondent of tho Standard at Tokio,
the Marquis no, discussing the new
Anglo-Japanese treaty, said:
"The time wiLl soon come when the
world will realize the full beneficial sig
nificance of this agreement. The peace,
now happily restored by our treaty with
Russia, aud so strongly guaranteed by
this new alliance, will usher in a new
period of phenomenal commercial and
economic development as well as ad
vanced civilization in the far Kast. All
the nations are welcome to a full share
in the resultant increase of trade."
VICTORY FOR RUSSIAN JEWS.
Professors Favor Unrestricted Admis
sion to St. Petersburg University.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 29. The council
of professors has voted in favor of the
unrestricted admission of Jews to the
univ ersity courses, recommending the ad
niissiou of all candidates for matricu
lation regardless of the regulation re
stricting Jewish students to 3 per cent
of the student body. The rector of
the University of St. Petersburg has
promised to give his hearty support to
the recommendation.
GEN. ST0ESSEL STRICKEN.
Port Arthur Defender Suffers Stroke of
Paralysis.
Moscow, Sept. 29. Lieut. Gen. Sto
essel, wln commanded the Russian
forces at Port Arthur, is suffering from
a stroke of paralysis, which affect his
entire left side. The general's recovery
is hoped for.
DRIVEN ASHORE DURING TPH00N

Manila, Sept. 29. Among the vessels
driven ashore here during the recent

and the Chilean barque Alva.
N. Y. Life's Vice President Throws Light
on 54,000,000 Bond Deal
He Made Deal With
' Himself.
New York, Sept. 23. George V. Per
kins, vice-president of tho New York
Life Insurance company, and a member
of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., had
an' interesting and instructive session
vestcrdav with Lawyer Hushes, chief
counsel for the legislative insurance in
vestigating committee.
Mr. Perkins, on the witness stand, ad
mitted that after authorization by the
New York Life finance committee to act
in a $1,000,000 bond syndicate deal with
Morgan & Co., he carried through the
transaction by practically "dealing with
himself." In other words, acting ns a
member of Morgan & Co., he sold to him
self, representing the insurance com
pany, the bonds in question. He justified
this course by stating that he had saved
the New Life $40,000 by the transac
tion. A sensational incident of the day was
Mr. Perkins' fiat refusal, in response to
Lawyer Hughes' demand, to produce the
Morgan & Co. books in which certain
transactions were recorded. He express
ed a willingness to produce a transcript
of particular entries and there the tilt
ended for the time.
Another interesting development was
when Henry It. Wintiuop, fiimncial man
ager of the Equitable, declared that the
expert accountants, at work overnight,
had failed absolutely to find any entry
or trace whatever in the books of syndi
cate profits unaccounted for Wednesday,
and which total, up to date, $110,000.
Who got the money? is the question con
fronting Lawyer Hughes.
The mystery surrounding the use of
the "George H. Squire, trustee," account
in Equitable dealings where the society
would naturally be supposed to use its
own name and funds directly was not
cleared, and the development of a "Louis
M. Bailey, trustee account as a side
issue of the Squire matter served to in
crease the muddle inasmuch as Bailey
is merely a clerk in the finance depart
ment of the society. v
ROYAL ARCANUMITES WITHDRAW,

Boston, Sept. 29. Nine Royal Arcan

New York, Sept. 29. Delegates from
the various councils of the Royal Ar
canum in Manhattan and the Bronx
have met and unanimously voted to
form the entire membership of the
meeting into a committee to collect
funds with which to oppose the action
of the supreme council in readjusting

"WED" ON DEATH BED.
Switchman Dies Happy After Fictitious
Ceremony.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 29. Believing his
last expressed wish had been gratified,
and that his sweetheart, Miss Edith
Bruszer, had become his wife through
the repeating of the words of the cere
mony by a South Chicago physician,
Edward L. Bordman, a switchman, who
had been crushed between two cars, died
Wednesday in the hospital.
The mother of the young woman, Mrs.
Mathilda Bruszer, had hurriedly left for
Chicago to secure a marriage license,
but had not returned in time.
After the young man was injured,
he asked that he and his fiancee could
be married before he died. Mrs. Brus
zer had not returned, and the young
man, realising that he had but k few
moments to live, requested Dr. Hannah
H. Sparrow, who had attended him, to
pronounce Mis Bruszer his wife. Hard
ly had Dr. Spurrow finished repeating
the words of the marriage ceremony
when Bordman fell to one side of the
hospital bed.
"My wife at iast," he said in low
tones. He tried to repeat the words,
but expired,
