Bandit Ilolds Up Five Stage Coaches. A special from Wawona, Cal., says that five Yosemite valley stages were held up by a lone highwayman, who obtained a considerable amount of money and jewelry. The conveyances were halted in rapid succession at a curve in the road near the spot where a lone bandit operating a year ago relieved several wealthy tourists of their valuables. The stages were traveling sufficiently far apart to ao'd each other's dust and when the first vehicle reached the tarn in the road the highwayman, whose features were completely hidden by a duster thrown over his head, stepped out. pointed a gun at the driver and commanded him to halt. The highwayman directed all passengers to throw out their money and Jewelry and when the order met with compliance he directed the driver to move on. The process rvas repeated until all five had been halted and robbed, when the b idit disappeared in the brush. Seven Burned to Death.

PRESIDENT ON TRUSTS.

In Fourth of Jnlr Addres He Bepen 1 n Square Denl. President Roosevelt delivered a notaMe Fourth of July address at Oyster Day, in which he discussed trusts and the attitude of the administration to ward them. He advocated a square deal for the corporations, as well us for the people. His hearers were his friends and neighltors of Oyster Bay and surrounding country. During the delivery of the address, which was in the open air, a heavy rain fell and the Presi dent was drenched. When the shower came umbrellas in the crowd were raised. The President remarked good-naturedly : "I am sorry for you ladies, but ashamed of you men, because you are afraid you will melt." In his address the President Said : "This year in Congress our chief task has been to carry the government forward along the course which I think it must follow consistently for a number of years to come that is, in the direction of jjeek ing on behalf of the people ai a whole through the national government which represents the people as a whole, to exPreise a measure of supervision, control and restraint over the individuals and es pecially over the corporations of great wealth, in so far as the business use o! that wealth brings it within the reach of the federal government. "We have accomplished a fair amount and the reason that we have done so ha$ been, in the first place, because we hav not tried to do too much, and, in the next place, because we have approached the task absolutely free from any spirit of rancor or hatred. , "In any such movement a man will fine that he has allies whom he does not like You cannot protect property without find ing that you are protecting the propert of some people who are not straight. You cannot war against the abuses or propertj j without finding: that there are some people warring besid-3 you whose motives you would frankly repudiate. But in each case be sure that you keep your own mo tives and your own conduct straight. "When it becomes necessary to curb t ;rreat corporation, curb it. I will do mj best to help you do it. But I will do il in no spirit of anger or hatred to the men who own or control that corporation ; and if any seek in their turn to do wrong tc the men of means, to do wrong to the mer who own those corporations, I will turn around and fight for them in defense oi their rights just as hard as I fight against then" when I think they are doing wrong." T le President then added a few warning ; as follows : "Distrust as a demagogue the man wht talks only of the wrong done by the men of wealth. "Distrust as a demagogue the man whe measures iniquity by the purse. Measure iniquity by the heart, whether a man's purse be full or empty, partly full oi partly empty. "If the man is a decent man, whethoi well of or not well off, stand by him ; il he is not a decent man stand against him, whether he be rich or poor. "Stand against him in no spirit of vengeance, but only with the resolute purpose to make him act as decent citizens must act if this republic; is to be." On other evils in general that mena the country, the President said: "War with the evils, out show nc spirit of malignity toward the man whe may be responsible for the evil. Put it out of his power to do wrong ; if necessary, punish him where he has Jon wrong, but do not let this nation ever get into the frame of mind which under infinitely greater provocation Abraham Lin coin strove to prevent its falling into at the time of the Civil War." Judge A. W. Benson, the new Kanssi Senator, has taught a Bible class for twenty-six years. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman has twice been within an ace of becoming Speaker of the House of Commons. The appointment of William Pinknej Whyte by Gov. Warfield of Maryland to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Gorman has pleased the independent, or anti-Gorman, faction of the Democratic party in Aat State. Whytt is a former Governor of Maryland and former United States Senator, who is frequently referred to as Maryland's "Grand Old Man," being now 82 year? old. He was also unanimously elected Mayor of Baltimore in 18S2, after having finished a term in the Senate. Hon. William Pinckney Whyte oi Maryland, who recently became United States Senator for the third time, is the only man living who was a member of that body and voted against negro suffrage when the fifteenth amendment tc the constitution was passed by it. The Republican State convention ol Minnesota resulted in the nomination of A. L. Cole for Governor. He had been regarded as one of the weaker candidates The platform approves pure food legisla tion, direct vote for Senators, 2-cent ranroad fares, abolition of passes and read justment of freight rates. . John D. Long, ex-Secretary of th Navy, is much opposed to the proposed new system of spelling. He says: "To spell well is the distinguishing mark of a scholar, as much as good manners arc of a gentleman." Mayor McClellan of New York Citj was among the recipients of honorary de grcs? at Union college and was the prin cipai commencement speaker. He urged the students to enter the profession ol politics, which he distinguished sharplj from the trade of politics. But he in sisted that but for the bare necesitie of life, fortunes could not be made in this profession, and there was no sucb thing as "honest graft." President Roosevelt has expressed it at his opinion that William Jennings Bryan will be the Denao'.ratic nominee ;"or th presidency in 190J, and that the or 'y niaD the Republicans can put up against hin? successfully is Wra. II. Taft, the present Secretary of War. This new tack of tb President has stirred up intense interest, as it had been expected that Secretary Taft would be appointed to the Supremi Court bench in the fall.

FOURTH MORE SANE.

IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN DAY'S OBSERVANCE. Deadly Slar.Rhter I I.es Frlulitful than I u Prevlou Yenr, but ."IS Are Dead and 2,7S Hurt Record of "Patrlotlnm." Dead 38 By fireworks 0 By cannon 1 By firearms 11 By explosives 7 By toy pistols 4 By runaway 1 By drowning 5 Injured 2,789 By fireworks 1,099 By cannon 201 By firearms 303 By explosives 007 By toy pistols 304 By runaways 35 Fire loss $00,150 The immediate Fourth of July death roll is smaller this year than that of a year ago, but unfortunately the thirtyeight slain by fireworks will be but an infinitesimal part, of those who will lose their lives because of the orgy of power and noise. Last year forty-two persons were killed outright, but when lockjaw and other diseases induced by injuries had completed their work over 100 lives had been sacrificed to patriotic idiocy. The number of injured 2.7SO is in excess of last year's figures by 358. The agencies by which these Injuries were inflicted, as compared. with last year's record, are as follows: 1906. 1005. Fireworks 1,009 798 Cannon 2G1 202 Firearms 303 327 Explosives C07 603 Toy pistols 304 371 Runaways 35 40 It will be seen that the toy pistol is the one instrument of destruction to fall behind in its death dealing work. The center of slaughter was, as usual, Philadelphia, where 711 patriots and innocent bystanders were victims. Chicago was the second center of Injury, two children being killed and 157 persons wounded more or less severely. In New York sanity ruled to a certain extent, Co injuries being reported, with two deaths. ' ENGINES OF Chicago Tribune. Toledo was an example of what rig orous enforcement of law and the elucntion of its citizens can accomplish. For days Mayor Whitlock preached sanity, and the result was that only two persons were injured, one of them being In a runaway. The fool with a revolver, or other firearm, was the cause of the most pro lific slaughter, the "stray bullet" being particularly destructive. The deadlytoy pistol followed as the Instrument of death, but Its harvest simply wa sown, and will be reaped from lock jaw. The cities where lives were taken ar as follows: Chicago 2 Grand Falls, N. D.l Cincinnati 1 Jersey City 1 Catskill, N. Y INew York 2 Elkhart, Ind INegaunee, Mich... 2 Fall River, Mass. .1 Niagara Falls.... J Kenosha ....1 Pittsburg ...1 Memphis 1 South Bend ..... .1 Newton, Iowa ...lWanamie, Pa.... .o New Bedford, Mass.l Springfield, Mass..l Oswego, N. Y 1 Fond du Lac, Wis.l Cleveland INew Albany, Ind..l Clarksville, Ore. ..1 Stevens P'nt, Wis.l Fulton, N. Y lVincennes, Ind....l The publication of the lists of persons Injured by the use of powder in various forms has proved an effective force toward ultimately gaining the object desired, the elimination of the useless waste of life and limb. The figures presented merely are a suggestion of the total of such accidents. In every community a small proportion reach publicity, especially In cases which at first appear of minor Importance, injuries from the use of toy pistols. These are the most prolific cause of subsequent tetanus which yearly costs 400 or more lives. The array, small as It Is by comparison with the real total, is a sad one when it is considered that each death or injury has been useless aud born c an almost criminal license granted to a mistaken exhibition of patriotism. I! becomes more startling, however, when a month later the returns of dead begin to swell and the extent of the slaugh:er becomes apparent. Carved Spine und Eyestrain. During the discussion on headaches Ur. Ueorge Al. UOUJU vi i unaueipum airV theorv that nine-tenths of all head aches are attributable to eye strain. Be ides this, he thought that eye utraln caus manv rastric disturbances and asserted that about 15,000,000 person in thii country, or one-fifth of Jhe population, are suffering from lateral curvature of the spine, due to the same caay?e. Th obvioua and only remedy. In hu opinion is a properly fitted pair of glasses. Phynlclan Abandon Radlnm. Dr. Hericourt, a famous Paris doctor, tays he has abandoned radium os a thera peutic agent. Instead of being curative of cancer, he asserts that simple wounds have been made cancerous by the use of radium, and in tuberculosis its efficiency is no better than sun rays, and far more dangerous. To Rebuild Palace Hotel. It is announced that the famous Talice hotel of San Francisco is to be re built at a cost of $3,700.000 on the old ite. -with the former court reproduced and everything proof against earthquake as well as fire. Parental lnfl-nee Ttldlculed. During the final session of the Ameri can Medical Association at Iloston, Dr, B4win T. Shelley of Atchison, Kan., sowakins of diseases of children, said that thi popular brlief that any unusual experience of a woman shortly before childbhth, is reflected in the offspring, is 6haply a superstition, and that thousands of women endurt all kinds of frights and betr normal children. The jury in the case of Charles Day, the Cincinnati detective charged with killing W. J. O'Connell, a Middletown, Ohio, aaloonist, announced & disagreement.

A number of letters have reached him from packers, all expressing willingness to counsel with him and uphold his hands in meat inspection administration. Dr. A. D. Melvin. chief of the bureau of animal industry, will accompany Secretary Wilson. A week or more will be passed in Chicago looking over the plans and conferring with the packers. Co-operation between the government and the packers, Secretary Wilson said, was to be the watchword in carrying out the inspection law. lie will advise the packers that the time is at hand for the greatest campaign evor mad for the promotion and exploitation of the American meat business. Backed by thorough government inspection, Secretary Wilson will tell .the packers they can conquer the world's markets more fully than ever before and have little to fear from Australia or Argentnia. The Secretary proposes to use all the powers of his department to push the sale of American meats abroad and President ltoosevelt will back him. He is confident an em of unprecedented prosperity i dawning for the American meat business. With the healthiest cattle, finished on corn and thoroughly insjected, American packers, Mr. Wilson says, can overcome nearly all competition. In having an adequate corn supply to fatten cattle and other stock the Secretary says America has an invaluable asset which other nations have not. WAR ON GAMBLING. French Lick (Ind.) Hotels . Are Raided by Sheriff. America's alleged Monte Carlo, the French Lick Springs (Ind.) hotel, a sumptuous resort, in which women as well as children are said to have been permitted to play for high stakes, was raided by Sheriff Mavis of Orange county Tuesdaj while Deputy Sheriff Jones led another raiding force on the West Baden hotel, another elaborate place. When the officers, armed with search warrants, swooped down upon the two

health resorts many women in fashionable attire were at play, while the children were eoirting the goddess of chance at the slot machines. One guest jumped through a second-story window, but was captured by the deputy sheriffs who surrounded the buildings. None but the at tendants were arrested, but the gambling machinery, valued at thousands of dol lars, was confiscated. While the raids were in progress, the State of Indiana, through the Attorney General a?d on instructions from Gov. Hanly, filed quo warranto proceedings in the Orange County Circuit Court against the French Lick Springs Company, ask" ing that their charters as corporations b revoked, that they be enjoined from per mitting gambling on their property, that receivers be appointed, and that admin istration of the assets be made among the defendants and their creditors. The suits and the raids are the result of a long standing campaign of ihe women of Indiana. The schools of Bloomington, 11L, take great pride in their flower culture. In Ssveden the school children, led by their teachers, plant C00.000 trees annually. Of thirty-seven county superintendents in the. State of Washington, ten are women. The New York City schools use yearly 4,000,000 pounds of pads, blank books and paper. Emerson G. Taylor, an instructor at Yale, has resigned to demote himself to literary work. The teachers of New York City will give a per cent of their salaries in aid of those in San Francisco. A fully equipped Teachers' College of high professional grade will be opened at the Ohio State University, probably in 1907. Many Geocgia school districts and counties have voted to supplement the State school fund by local taxation. This is done under the local taxation law passed last year. The reports of the Republic of Cuba show for the month of December last, 3,CG0 teachers, of whom 2,250 wen women and 1,404 men; 3,452 were white and 208 colored. Iowa county superintendents must hereafter hold certificates to teach. Their salary has been raised $240 a year and they are required to visit all the schools of their counties. J. Pierpont Morgan is an alumnus of the old Cheshire school in Hartford, Conn., which has trained many a Wall street man since the financier was graduated with the class of 1S50. , Jacob C. Goldszmit has done more than any one else to make American letters, life, and history known to the Foles of Europe. He has come to Boston to live as a refugee. At one time he was lecturer at the Warsaw university. In many counties in the West there are organized among the girls in the schools, Home Culture Clubs, the object of which is to emphasize the importance of good housekeeping, and to teach the practical things with which woman has to do. In some of the counties prizes are given for good bread-making, neatly made garments nud other articles of . handicraft. More importance is attached to those than to fancy work, although that may come later. Chancellor McCracken of New York university declares that the teaching profession is every j-ear becoming more popular as a calling for college graduates, and that there is a corresponding falling off in the attraction of law and medicine. The school board of Racine, Wis., has recently adopted the policy of withholding 10 per cent of the teachers' wages each month until the end of the school year in June. The purpose is to prevent teachers who receive offers of beiter positions from breaking their contracts in the middle of the term. Teachers and principals have objected to this rule, and threaten to resign in a body if it is enforced.

BRYAN FOR OPPRESSED.

Ontllnen Duty of Xntiona In Lonloa William Jennings Bryan, fresh from his tour of the Orient, was the orator at the Independence day dinner of the American society at the Hotel Cecil in London and expressed his conviction that on the United States and England devolves the mission of diffusing education and iK)litical freedom throughout the benighted lauds. He took Kipling's poem, "The White Man's Burden," as his text and declared that now, as never before, the Christian nations are working to spread civilization and uplift others, rather than to exploit their weaker brethren. Nearly SCO members and guests surrounded the society's board and cheered patriotic sentiments with the peculiar zest lorn of exile. Ambassador Whitelaw Beid and Mr. Br3an engaged i i WILLIAM J. BRYAN. some sharp but good-humored banter over political differences, the crowd evincing its enjoyment of the ?port with cheers and shouts of laughter. Mr. Heid, Ja responding to Sir W. B. Richmond's graceful proposal of his health, said with reference to Mr. Bryan : "As the official representative of the American people, without distinction as to party, I am glad to welcome him here as a typical American, whose whole life has bon lived In the daylight and one whom such a great host of my countrymen have long tnisted and honored." In discussing "the white man's burden" Mr. Bryan declared the chief duty of the Christian states is fivefold to carry to the remainder of the world editeration, know'edge of the science of government, arbitration as a substitute for war, appreciation of the dignity of labor and a high conception of life. He styled as false that conception of international politics which made the prosperity of one nation depend upon the exploitation of another. . President Roosevelt and King Edward were praised by Mr. Bryan for their influence in behalf of peace and the cause of arbitration. Mr. Bryan declared the odium which rests upon the work of the hand has exerted a baneful influence on the world and this theory, he said, was largely responsible for the creation of an almost Impassable gulf between the leisure classes and those who support them. Consumption a Social Problem. Writing of the campaign against consumption in the June Everybody's Magazine, Eugene Wood says that there is nothing particularly new in the medical or scientific side of the problem to report, I-ending the outcome of Von Behring't experiment with tuberculosis, a substance separated from the growth of the tuberculosis bacillus. He thinks it quite generally accepted now that peop!e with light hair and blue eyes should not live out of doors wh ü'e it is always bright and sunny, because they lack the pigmanetation to absorb the light rays, which becom a source of irritation and fidgets. A cloudier climate is better for bloEdes, and there is nothing dangerous in a damp climate. The statement is also made that "those who don't cire for meat are very likely to die of tuberculosis." Referring to -the effort of the consumption fighters to enlist the American Federation of Labor, Mr. Wood says that the disease is essentially a social problem, and he concludes that somethins Is wrong with the way we live now. We know its causes and how to stop the spread, but, nevertheless, a great majority of the people in homes and factories are" so living as to be unable to resist Kiberculosis, and the social gulf between the people and the better classes is not wide enough to separate us from the disease that decimatesHe believes that when this fact is squarely faced the people will find a. social remedy. The Earth a Self-Heater. Prof. Charles Thwing announces, as a result of his researches at the Western Reserve university, that the common metals and rocks of which the earti is constituted have the internal temperature due to radio-activity. He estimates that the heat thus constantly generated wilJ maintain the earth at its present temperature for many millions of years, and he concludes that at least a paxt of ihe sun's heat is due to the same principe within itself. Henry Ford, head of one of the lead ing automobile firms, predicts that free alcohol will work a revelation in our industrial situation. He says that aa alco hol iaotor tractor will soon be perfected so at. to be usd for all manner oi farm work. It will have a speed of six mile an hour, with forty initial horse power. While alcohol may be made ficm everj vegetable and grain, the original product retains its market or food value after the alcohol has been extracted. lie pidicts that every farmer's silo will become an alcohol distillery by the simple addition of steia pipes to heat the fermented con tents. At the opening session of the Knijhts of St. John in Buffalo, N. Y., four.cen delegates from the grand commander of Philadelphia, representing commanddrJes not uniformed, were excluded from the convention after a. stormy debate. Secretary Taft, addressing the Pentvyl? vania Bar Association at Bradford, Pa., said that one of the principal considera tions frr legislators in framing laws should be whether they were capable ef practical enforcement. Peter Copeni. 8 years old, saved 2-year old Margerie Haines from drowning a.' Iloboken, N. Y.

NOTABLE LAWS PASSED BY CONGRESS.

g s

In number of laws passed, in size of appropriations, in length of debates, the session of Congress just closed was a record-breaker. Four great laws stand oat as the most important in the recent htory of the country. The railroad rate bill, the pure food bill, the meat inpectiou bill and the is:hmian canal bill each in itself is a conspicuous piece of constructive legislation, but above them all the rate bill towers as the memorable achievement of the entire seven months' work. Railway Rate Regulation. The bill for the regulation or railway rates requires all Interstate carriers to make through rcaies and reasonable joint charges. It sweeps into the category of common carriers all oil pipe lines, express companies, sleeping car companies and private car lines. Railways are prohibited from engaging in production or any other business than transportation, such as coal mining, but pipe lines are excluded from this provision. It provides that all rates shall be just and reasonable, and it gives the Interstate commerce commission full power, upon complaint and after a full hearing, to fix a reasonable and just maximum rate, whlrh shall take elect within thirty days and aj.ui remain m force for two jears unless changed by the commission or set aside by me courts.

If this provision Is violated shippers may bring complaint before the commission. All common carriers nri rMiiirivl tn fllo ix-lth th commission copies of all contracts and agree ments ior snipment or property made with other companies. It limits free transporta tion to certain specmea persons, ana it prohibits rphn t mil illaprlminatlnna rf alt kinds.

The act is to go into enect witnm 6ixty aays. Pure Food. The pure food bill defines adulterated and mislabeled articles of food and drugs and prohibits their introduction from one state or territory into any other state or terri tory. It stipulates that the bureau of chem istry of the Department of Agriculture shall examine specimens of food and drugs to determine whether they are misbrandeJ or adulterated. If drug3 differ from standards in strength, quality or purity as fixed in the national formulary they will X held to be ndulterated. - Confectionary will be de clared adulterated if It contains anv color ing matter or ingredient deleterious to health, and food will be held adulterated if it contains any substance reducing its quality or strensth. lreserva tives mar be applied externally when directions for their removal are printed on the package. As to labels, ihe law provides that drugs or foods will be considered mlsbranded if they are falsely described by their labels. On imported goods, false labels will prevent ad mission into the United States. The law provides that the Secretary of Agriculture shall determine the wholesomeness or nn wholesomeness of preservatives, but does not set any standards for food. Wherever he finds that the law is being, violated in any of its provisions he has authority to certify the facts to the United States District At torney for the district in which the viola tion occurred, and the District Attorney will then proceed agaln&t the offender a against any other violator of a federal statute. 3Teat Inspection. The meat inspection law provides for gov ernment inspection of all meats and meat products put on the markets by the pack ing-houses of the country. Cattle," -heep, swine, and goats are to be examined for slsns of disease before they are slaughtered If they are found to be diseased they are to be slaughtered separately, ana the ear casses are to be given a special examina tlon by the government inspectors. All carcasses found to be sound, healthful and fit for human food are to be tagged '"Inspected and passed."
