CONDENSED TO THE LIMIT

The old court house in Williamsburg, Va., was almost totally destroyed by fire, but the records are thought to be safe. A south wind freshed a smouldering fire in the paper debris on the fourth story of the capitol in Albany, N. Y. A chemical engine extinguished the fire. The Spanish government is worried over the action of France in Morocco since the French troops have occupied new military positions independently of Spain. Fire in the laundry building of the Philadelphia hospital almost destroyed that structure and spread terror among the insane and other patients. Loss, SIOO,OOO.

GENERAL NEWS.

Advices from Mukden give official statistics cf plague cases in that city and other parts of Manchuria. The total number of cases in Mukden up to Feb. 14 was reported as 1,043, but the figures are regarded as incomplete The total number of deaths up to Feb. 'lB was given as 1,028; The population of Mukden is about 180,000 The total number of deaths In Manchuria up to Feb. 15 was given as 12,* 083, but this is probably only a rough estimate and does not in any case include the deaths in the towns along the Russian and Japanese railways, which probably amount to as many more. The plague has appeared at nearly every town along the rail’’ vy from Chang Chun west to Chinchju and south to Liaoyang At Pottsville, Pa., a most remarkable display of nerve was made in the county jail yard by Joseph Chrstock, who was hanged for the murder of Mrs. Ann Richards early last fall Declining the proffered assistance of a priest and deputy sheriff, the man walked smilingly from his cell to the gallows and ran lightly up the steps It was a public hanging, and bes re him stood 1,500 persons, to whom he waved his hand. Then he reached up, | grasped the noose and placed it ab> ut ; his neck, put his arms by his side to be strapped, and smilingly said : “G< rd by all.” The man held his head in position for the adjustment of the black i cap and in another moment the trap was sprung. He was dead in twelve minutes

The Spanish cabinet headed by Premier Cahalejas has resigned. Canalejas, in forcing religious reforms, encourtered the bitter opposition of the Reman Catholics, and his course resulted in a practical suspension of diplomatic relations between the government and the vaticaa. The premier has, hewerer, been credited with the support of King Alfonso, and his bill of associations, aimed to regulate the religious and other societies, which he refused to submit first to the Vatican, was approved unanimously by the cabinet last Tuesday and was to be introduced in the cortes April 6 George W. Rue, well known citizen of Hamilton, O„ ard one of the noted veterans of the Civil war, is dead. He was born in Harrodsburg. Ky., June 18. 1828.

General John Morgan, near New Waterford, where a year ago a monument was erected to mark the spot of the surrender. Anxiety is felt concerning the position of Fez Since the defeat of the sultan’s troops by the rebellious tribesmen on March 26 the sultan has been a practical prisoner, and his brother, Mulai Ismail, has been repeatedly proclaimed the ruler of all Morocco. The latest news is to the effect that the victorious tribesmen surround the city. If the place is completely besieged it must soon surrender on account of the lack of food and the scarcity of water. The means of resistance. too, are slight. "When Cuba’s congress convened In Havana the message of President Gomez was read in both houses. It congratulates the republic on the unexampled prosperity of the country and on the reign of peace and order. The president points out that the sugar crop is good in spite of the lack of rain and that the national debt has been reduced by $3,465,000 in the last two years. A May-day strike for the eighthour day in years, is the plan of the leaders of the union machinists. It is scheduled to take in all union machinists throughout the United States. A general strike of the International association would be felt in every manufacturing section of the country. It would involve more than 100,000 machinists. A bomb was exploded almost under the coattails of a New York policeman. The officer was standing at the doorway of a tenement house in First avenue. The bomb was in a cellarway not a rod from his feet He was uninjured, although the front of the building was damaged and dcors and windows were blown in.

Colonel Roosevelt went to Portland, Ore., from Sacramento, Cal. .He stopped at Salem, the capital, long enough to say that Jacob Riis was about the best man in New York and got to Portland in time to lay a corner stone for the new Multonomah Amateur Athletic Club building.

NEGROES REMAIN IN SAN ANTONIO

Recent Order for Their Transfer Has Been Suspended. THIRD CAVALRY KNOWS LAND Reason Given for Change of Plan Is That Regiment Now on Border Duty Is Better Acquainted with that Section. San Antonio. Tex., April 7.—The war department has sent to General William H. Carter, commanding the division of the mobilized troops at Fort I Sam Houston, ar order advising him that the previous order detaching the ■ Ninth cavalry of colored troops from ' his command has been suspended. The Ninth will not move from San Antonio, for rhe present at least, to do patrol duty along the border as part of the command of the departmen* of I Texas. The latest- order from Washington gave as the only reason for the suspension of its previous order the fact that the Third cavalry, which has dore patrol duty along the Rio Grande since December, is much more acquainted with the country to be patrolled than a new regiment could be and therefore more competent to fulfill the object for which it has teen assigned to duty. This sudden reversal of the orders designed to remove the regiment of colored cavalry from Sen Anter io end scatter it along 1,800 miles cf herder, . from Brownsville to Fort Hancock, indicates. to sone extent the state of mind that Congressman Garner has passed through during rhe last fortyeight hours. Ir.ricent"lly a state of mind in the war department.

It was the Texas congressman who heeded the complaint of the people of San Antonio, as he said, theu h t*e v were outside of his district and made representations to the president for the removal from the maneuver camp Of the colored regiment on the ground that the troopers did not obey the Jim Crow laws in force on the street cars.

SPAIN AND THE CHURCH

Vatican interested in Proposed Banishing Religious Orders. Madrid, April 7.—The archbishop of Burges, in the name of the church, protested in the senate against the pending presentation of the measure proposing the banishing of religious orders from Spain. It is anticipated that the law will come up for the approval of the senate ard the deputies in a few days. The archbishop said that the act would exasperate the Vatican and violate the agreement existing between Spain and the church. The consequences to the government of Spain would be grave, said the archbishop.

SNAPSHOTS AT CELEBRITIES

D. W. Shackleford, Missouri Congressman.

1911. by American Press Association.

It was Representative Dorsey W. Shackleford of Missouri who started the tight against the speaker of the house as the maker of committees. As long ago as 190 G he attacked ••Uncle Joe” Cannon, calling him an “enthroned despot.” who had packed the committees, and denouncing him as a “czar.” Mr. Shackleford is now a member of the ways and means committee to which was delegated the committee making power of the house, and his associates say he has been the most ardent committee maker of the whole group. Indeed, say some of his fellow members, he started in as if he aspired to be the czar of the Sixtysecond congress. Congressman Shackleford is a native of Missouri if nd a lawyer by profession. For four years he was a county prosecutor, and from 1892 until sent to the Fifty-sixth congress he was a district judge. He is fifty-eight years old and has represented the Eighth district since the death of Richard P. Biand. Ado on Tragedy. George Ade at the New theater s anniversary dinner in New York said of a modern tragedian: “The only trouble about his tragedy is that it makes you laugh. His pathos is sidesplitting. It is like the pathos of the German poet who made a lover say to his lost love as he bade her a final goodby at the railway station: “ ‘Farewell. We part forever. But to make the separation more gradual I am going by an accommodation train.’ ’* Mr. Carter of Montana. Former Senator Thomas Henry Carter of Montana, whose seat in the upper house of congress was captured by a Democrat, may enter the cabinet of President Taft, it is rumored in Washington. Shortly after the expiration of his senatorial term on March 4 Mr. Carter was appointed a member of the international boundary commission, which was provided for in one of the last bills put through by the Sixty-first congress. Senator Carter is a native of Ohio and is fifty-seven years old. For a number of years he was engaged in

Mont., and was elected a delegate from the territory to the Fifty-first congress and upon the admission -of the state was elected its first representative. As chairman of the national Republican committee he conducted Harrison’s second presidential campaign. He has served two terms as senator from Mom tana, but not consecutively. The sena tor tells this storyj>f his boyhood days: “Baek in Scioto county, 0., where I lived as n boy. there was plenty to eat, but not much t" wear. There may have been a lawyer or a preacher at the town of Portsmouth who had two suits of clothes. I remember bearing a group of leading gossips wrangling over the question as to who was the richest man in the community. “ ‘l’ll bet a gallon of licker,’ one old codger said, hitting the table with his fist. That Obadiah Glidden Is worth t-e-n thou-sand dol lars.’” .

Humor and Philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. I ■ _ gOME men don’t say no when their wives ask for money because they knc.v that no Is no answer to the request The ambition of many a boy has gone up in cigarette smoke. Don't strike a man when he is down, for, like truth, he may rise again. A blaze of genius frequently leaves but the cold ashes of oblivion. Money serves and rules every man. It takes so much of the time of the most of us to make a living that we can’t use it when we get it made. Lovemaking is a thing that seems so serious in the coming and so light in the passing. Some people are positively discourteous when you chance to interest yourself in their affairs. When you rip the patches of pride and position off the character of some 1 people the whole thing falls down.

Fashion’s Latest. The harem skirt is coming in. So we must grin and bear it. For women, though it is a sin. Are bound that they will wear it. No use to try to talk it down With sermon, screed or letter. It’s bound to be the coming gown. Or gowns perhaps is better. The modest maiden of the past Whose trains ran into inches Now. in a different pattern cast. From it no longer flinches. Her legs (or limbs—your pardon, please— Perhaps that is politer) Will like the freedom and the ease. The trousers will delight her. Of course it isn’t coming in Without a struggle bitter. The skirt, although it cannot win. Will never be a quitter. But progress wields a ruthless hand. And, though the case distresses. The new heroic female band Will look with scorn on dresses. Then hall, thou winsome trouserette! Though in our hearts we hate it. We may at once prepare to get In shape to tolerate it. For woman always has her way. Though spoken to and chided. If that’s what fashion has to say She’ll wear her skirt divided. ——

Expanded the Idea. “You must fletcherize, Mabel, and then you will be healthy.” So little Mabel fletcherized as long as her mother was looking and did very well for one of her years. Then she went over to a neighbor's and tried to explain all about it “Now, Willie,” she said, “look at me. You fletch your eyes and I will flef my mouth.” Natural Conclusion. “Say” “Yes?’ “Did you notice that the scientists have declared that conceit is but a mild form of insanity?” “No. Is that so?’ “That’s what they say.” “Your house must be a sort of lunatic asylum then, isn’t it?’ One Way of Looking at IL “His wife is a milliner.” “Is that so?’ i “And his daughter Is a diessmaker.” “Well, that man ought to be rich.” “Why?” “Why? Goodness, man, wouldn’t it make any man rich not to have to pay the milliner and the dressmaker?” Warned. “You must not go into the library.” “And why not?” “My papa is in there thinking.” “I will not disturb his thoughts.” “You better not take a chance. I guess you never heard my papa think out loud.” Qualified. “Want a good stenographer?” “Can she spell?” “No." “What are her recommendations?” “Well, she’s easy to look at”

Truly Great. “He is a great inventor.” “What does be invent?” “Excusesto his wife.” Sounds Easy. “We- t is your idea x>f happiness?” “Oh, just having nothing to be unhappy about.” ■ ■ .' J ~ ~ \ f i The Difference. , A woman buys her clothes to in style. So she has new on— every little while. A man will purchase clothes and t its and leather When .old ones wifi no .longer hvig together.

His Serious Purpose. “He has a call, you say.” “Yes,” ‘ * To what church ?” “Church?” “Ye=. You said he bad had a call." “Yes, but he answered the telephone.’’
