Washington, March 4. Senator Fpooner has written a letter to Governor Davidson, of Wisconsin, tendering Lis resignation as a senator of the

United States to take effect May 1 next. The letter was Jated Saturday, but the fact that such a letter had been written or that Spooner contemplated resigning did not become known in the senate until

late y e s t er d a y , john c. spooxer. when it created great surprise, and the Wisconsin senator at once found himself the subject of many anxious Inquiries. To nil he replied that his mind was fully made up. lie had found, he said, that to continue in his present position would require a sacrifice on his part that he could not justify himself in making. II Told Only the Vice President. In reply to questions he said he would resume the practice of law, but flecl'.ned to say whether he would be located In Wisconsin. He did say, however, that he would continue to bo a citizen of that state as long as ho lives. Vice President Fairbanks was one of the few public men to be made acquainted with Spooner's plans before be wrote his letter. The knowledge came to him through the personal confidence of the senator, but the latter made no official communication on the subject to either the senate or Its prellding officer. The law does not reJuire that a resigning senator should do more than Spooner has done, but some senators who have resigned have given notice to the senate. Cannot Afford to Serve linger. Spooner's letter to Governor Davidion says that today he will have lerved as senator sixteen years, and

that this Is a long time for one to take

from his profession when he is neither willing nor financially able to perma

nently abandon that profession, especially as he has not during his service

pursued his profession, except with a few trifling exceptions all purely local.

lie refers to his announcement in 1000

that he would retire in 1003, and his

unanimous re-election In spite of that

announcement, which caused him to nc

ccpt re-election as a public duty, but

Bays that now his determination Is ir

revocable. He closes with a warm ex

pression of his thanks for the gener

ous confidence reposd in him by the

Republicans of Wisconsin.

ANOTHER CHICAGO ROBBERY

Victim This Time Is the PostofTice and

Probably $3,000 Was the Thiers Prize. Chicago, March 4. A United State3 mail wagon containing three pouches, two of which were filled with miscellaneous mail matter and the third with registered mail, was stolen from in front of the Stock Exchange building, LaSalle and Washington streets, while the driver was making a collection in the building. At the time of the theft the street was crowded with persons, none of whom saw the thief escape with the mail wagon. While the collector was inside the thief drove eff with the wagon. Two hours after the robbery the wagon was found three miles distant from the downtown district. The screen door had been broken open and the pouches taken. The postofflce authorities say they don't know just how many checks, or how much jewelry, the registered pouches contained, but are of the belief that the robbers probably secured fully $.",000.

Concord. X. II.. March 4. General

Frank S. Streeter, the legal adviser of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy has Issued a statement in the nature of a

reply to various allegations in the bill j of equity which has been brought against trustees and directors of th? Christian Science church by relatives of Mrs. Eddy, --1th the view of obtainteg an accounting of funds. The statement says: "Early Saturday morning I sent to Mrs. Eddy a copy of the bill la equity as published, but not yet served upon any of the defendants so far as I am informed. I have since had a long personal conference with her, at which this proceeding and matters connected therewith were fully discussed. She Is Mentally Capable. "From my conferences with her at the time, and on other recent occasion?, I am able to speak definitely and positively. Her clearness of mind and resoluteness of purpose have been in no respect impaired by her advanced years. Her capacity to think clearly and to deal accurately and justly with Important business affairs has never been more perfectly demonstrated than In her conferences and acts in the last two weeks, and In numerous business

letters in her own handwriting, which

I have received from her during that

time.

Not So Rich as Reported.

'The amount of Mrs. Eddy's property has been grossly multiplied by rumor and unfounded report. She is not possessed of large wealth as the term

is used. Mrs. Eddy receives no in

come from the church, nor from thj publication society connected with the church. Her sole income for many

years has been from the copyright on

her own books, and the amount from

this source has been grossly over-estimated. Mrs. Eddy's business affairs

have been managed by herself, with

the aid of Mr. Frye. her devoted and

loyal servant, and tinder the oversight and personal audit of another gentle

man whose name has not been men

tioned. but who stands for all that is

honorable and of good requte in finau

cial circles in Concord. "

"What have modem Inventions done for us, I'd like to know?'' said Jonas Fert, the village philosopher, from his seat on a barrel In the general store. "They've made life easier," answered Ellery Brown. It was an old discussion of theirs, a topic they fell back on when all else failed. Jonas dwelt on the numerous accidents that were unknown in leisurely stagecoach days. Ellery talked of the wonders of machinery and electricity. "Poohl" sniffed Jonas. "Who's any better off for the shocks telegrams bring 'em? And as for electric lights a pretty girl's face used to look twice as well when there were only candles

shining! Not that you'd care about

that," he added slyly, and Ellery reddened. Every one knew that he was the shiest man in all Eimway village.

As a child he became speechless

with confusion when any one noticed

him, he stammered and stuttered his

way through the gawky age, and when he arrived at voune: manhood, though

Milwaukee, March 4. The announcement from Washington that United States Senator John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, had sent his resignation to Governor James O. Davidson, to take fleet on May 1 next, came as a complete surprise throughout Wisconsin. Governor Davidson, wnen communlrated with over the long-distance telephone, said he had not yet received the resignation, and could hardly believe it to be true. As to Spooner'a successor Governor Davidson said that It would be left to the legislature which was now in session and probably would be on May 1, to elect n successor to fill the unexpired term which would end with March 4. 1009. Governor Davidson would not talk for publication at this time as to Bpooner's successor further than to lay he presumed that some of the Wisconsin representative. naming L'ooper and Esch, who were candidates !or the senatorship at the time La Toilettewas elected, Mould again enter the field. Governor Davidson said he would not be a candidate for the high DiHce at thrs time. Lieutenant Governor W. D. Connor expressed surprise it the news of the senior senator's resignation, but was not prepared at this time to make a statement as to hia ambitions. Isaac Stephenson, the

millionaire lumber king of Marinette, said that while he was not prepared to make a statement at this time as to Spooner's successor he knew of no one who would refuse such a high office if It were tendered him. Lively times are expected In the Wisconsin legislature from now on. and It is expected that before many hours elapse there will be many candidates In the field for the unexpired term of Senator Spooner. It is believed that La Toilette will try to have one of his adherents chosen, of whom, two are Isaac Stephenson and ex-Speaker Irvine L. Lenroot, of Superior.

matter, of course, he declines to say. j It is lea d that about 4 o'clock last Friday af; rnoon, the day on which the bill in equity v. is filed, a messen

Tomlinson, one of the defendants named In the suit, left Concord, his mission being, It is understood, to go to Glover. Tomlinson is said to have in his possession for delivery to Glover a deed of trust for a certain sum of money, variously estimated at from $100,000 to $250,000. This money, it Is declared, was to ba delivered to Glover on three conditions as follows: First, that neither he nor

Meantime John W. Kelley, of Portsmouth, one of the attorneys interested

In bringing the proceedings, had filed

the bill In equity with the clerk of ths superior court, and notified Streeter,

counsel for Mrs. Eddy, of the fact. Streeter had a long conference with Kelley and Martin, during which he made it known that the deed of trust was to be given to Glover. This conference came to an end when Streeter was informed that the fact that the bill had been filed had been given to the press, and 'Streeter then recalled Tomlinson from his mission.

"AKAEELCa, I IiOVE YOU."

always he took the opposite side of the

road when he saw a feminine acquaint

ance approaching. He shunned picnics

and socials as if they were a pestilence

He would rather have died than taken

a girl rowing or driving, nis neigh

bors laughed and wondered what

would happen should Ellery fall In

love. Ellery himself never considered

the subject, and that may have been

the reason why love took him un awares.

He was sitting In church one bright

Sunday In summer when his attention

was arrested by the sight of a stran

ger in the Hardys pew, a slip of a

girl In blue muslin, with a wide pic

ture hat trimmed with roses.

From where he sat he could see the delicately tinted oval of her cheek and

the palo gold of her wavy hair. Then she turned her head, and their eyes

met. Hers were dark gray, fringed

with heavy lashes. Ellery's heart be

gan a ridiculous tattoo, the hands that

were holding his book trembled, and h colored to the roots of his hair.

"It's Arabella Hawkins," whispered

some one behind him. Every now and

then Ellery ventured a glance in her

direction. Tho sun, slanting through

one or tha gmall stained glass windows, touched her with rainbow colors

utterly dazzling. "I wish I could walk borne with her," sighed Ellery. "But

do I dare?"

"If you don't somo one else will,"

his common sense said, and when the

last hymn had been sung and the peo

pie were moving slowly down the aisles Ellery pressed forward, his cour

age at white het. He spoke a word of greeting to Mrs. Hardy and then

was presented to Arabella.

How it happened he scarcely knew,

but soon he and hl3 divinity were strolling along toward the Hardys', and she was telling him that she had come

from Centerville for a two weeks' vis

It. She was as talkative as she was

pretty and had a faculty of putting him at his ease. To Ellery it wa3 an experience as delightful as It was novel, and he resolved to repeat It by calling the next evening. And. though In the days that foilowed his footsteps were not the only ones that wended their way to the Hardy gate, he managed to monopolise the greater share of Arabella's time.

His shyness was gradually wearing away, but there was one question he longed to ask and could not. In vain he rehearsed it. Alone in his room it was easy enough to say, "Arabella, will you marry me?" Yet when he was with her the words seemed to cleave to the roof cf his mouth. Over and over again hs led up to it only to halt miserably when the crucial moment came. "Could you could you" he stammered on one of these occasions. "Could I what, Ellery T queried Arabella. They had gone as far as Christian names. "Could you go driving with me to-

. 1 morrow?' It was cot la the least .what

he had meant to say, yet as he mopped his brow It vaguely occurred to him that perhaps in a buggy it would bo easier. But even there, with Arabella by his side, words failed him. "Will you will you" he began. "Will I what, Ellery?" said Arabella

very sweetly and patiently. "Will you have an ice cream soda at the drug store on the way back?" "Certainly," answered Arabella, a shade of disappointment In her voice. She liked the broad shouldered, honest eyed young fellow more than she admitted to any one save herself, though she never had had so bashful a suitor.

And yet she knew Ellery was no coward. His townsfolk had told her of the courageous things ho had done how he had stopped a runaway horse at the risk of his own life and how one bitter winter day he had crawled to the edge of an ice hole in the river to rescue the eldest Hardy child who clung there, half frozen. As for Ellery, he felt that time was passing and he was no nearer the goal.

"It's terrible," he moaned, "to think I've gone this fc.r and can't go further!" Matters were getting desperate. "Better hurry up, Ellery!" his friends urged him. "There's a fello w in her own town wants her just as much as you do!"

Advice came thick and fast. "Why don't you write it?" drawled

one waggish acquaintance. "And then

she'll be sure to get It."

"Modem Invention has done a good

many things," chuckled old Jonas Fert.

It's given us telegraphs and motor

boats and automobiles, but there's one

thing It hasn't done. It hasn't made It any easier to pop the question. That's

just as hard today as it was a hundred

years ago!"

Ellery groaned. Then his face bright

ened. "Modern inventions," he muttered to himself "modern inventions!

By jiminy, I've solved the problem!

I'll win her yetT

tV few days later a small crate arriv

ed for him. "Looks as if it might be a typewriter," said the station agent, but as Ellery was not given to literary

pursuits this guess seemed rather improbable.

Late that night Ellery tiptoed

through the Hardys' orchard, holding

tight to a mysterious funnel shaped contrivance, on which he had banked all his hopes. The sleeping Arabella

was wakened by a voice beneath her window. Slipping on a kimono, she leaned out to listen.

"Ellery," she whispered, "13 that

you?"

From the shadows beneath came his

answering tones, swift and unwaver

ing.

"Arabella, I love you. I love you

more than any one In the world. I'm not worthy of you, I know, but I'll do everything I can to make you happy.

Will you marry me, Arabella?"

'l'es, Ellery," said Arabella prompt

ly. "But what's the matter with your voice? Mercy!" she ejaculated as there came a sudden whir and click.

"Y'ou aren't choking, are you?"

"If I am, it's with happiness," eald

her rapturous suitor, coming qulcklv

Into view.

"That sounds more natural," said

Arabella. There was a whispered colloquy, and later, In a happy daze, his phonograph hugged securely under his arm, they stumbled along the orchard

path. "She'll never know It was done by machine," he murmured, "and since she loves me it's all right anvhow.

though I suppose that when I get home I'd better destroy the record or 'twill give me clean away."

At the edge of the road a familiar figure loomed In the darkness. "That you, Ellery?" said Jonas Fert. "It's too black to 6ee a foot In froat of me. And they pretend to light this place by electricity! I tell you modern Inventions"

"Modern Inventions," said the happy

Ellery, "are the greatest things la the

world!"

Does tbe San Chance Shape? Professor C. L. Poor as the result of careful study of hellometer measurements, confirmed by that of solar photographs, decided that the sun periodically changes Its figure, being sometimes an oblate spheroid like the earth, with Its equatorial diameter exceeding

the polar, and sometimes a prolate spheroid, having a greater polar than equatorial diameter. His Idea Is that the solar globe ia to be regarded as a vibrating body, having an equatorial diameter on the average slightly In excess of the polar, but changing at certain times so that the ratio of -the two diameters is temporarily reversed. The period of variability, he thinks, 13 the eame as the 6un spot period. The

changes of figure, if they really occur, are so small that only the mo3t delicate observations can make them manifest, but, affecting a body of such supreme Importance as the sun, they must possess much scientific interest. London Graphic. PeekBni.fi. Writing in the Independent , Review, C. . C. Osborne states that the original of Pecksniff was Samuel Carter Hall, "than whom." he continues,

"no man, I venture to think, ever had a larger stock of tags of morality and commonplace quotations from the poets." In 1S79 he was involved in a libel action, and to his great indignation several papers referred to him as "Pecksn!2." He had none of Pecksniffs coarser vices, being a teetotaler, but he was rain, officious, Indiscreet, self complacent, a boastful poseur, offensively voluble and overflowed with moral platitudes. However, In spite of those failings, which marked him as outwardly like to the great hypocrite, Mr. Hall bore no real resemblance to the mean,- dishonest and vicious creature depleted by Dickens.
