ACCUSED OF CLEVER FRAUD.

Samuel Rosenfield Is Said to Ee i Shrewd Swindler of Women. The arrest of Samuel Rosenfield in Chicago on a charge of swindling Mrs. A. K. Hoot, a rich widow of Edwardsville, 111., out of $2,000 brings to light, the police say, one of the cleverest get-rich-quick scheme? know nto the department. Rosenfield, while living in handsomely furnished apartments, has no Chicago business address and could not be found prior to the arrest in the downtown district, lie traveled about, workiug various schemes, and it was while m Cincinnati in September that he was orrested and bailed out ou another swindling charge. The Edwardville widow chafes Kosenfield with having duped her in a book scheme, lie represented himself ns being able to procure for her a rare and valuable library for which she was to pay $10,000. The books as part of the agreement were t- be sold to a Chicago book collector for $32,000, Koseniield to got a commission on her share of the profits. Mrs. Root subsequently learned that the Chicago book collector was a myth and she attempted to get release Trom her contract. Ilurkowitz & Co. of St. Louis. from whom the books were be bought, claimed they had paid Rosenfield $4,000 for making the contract. Mrs. Root settled with the St. Louis firm for $2.000. The amount she paid Rosenfield $300 made her loss, she alleges, $2,000. A similar scheme was worked in Cincinnati several weeks ago, the amount involved being $50,000 instead of $2.IKX). Rugs were employed as the medium of his operations instead of book". He got money on the deal and went to Xew York, intending to süpout of the country on a French liner. Hewas caught and taken to Cincinnati, where he. finally escaped trial. Mrs. A. K. Root, who is the cause of Rosenfield's present grief, came into possession of an immense estate left by her husband, who was a financier of St. Louis. CAUGHT BY FINGER P3INT. British Murderer Betrayed Through New System of Identification. A curious result of the recent adoption cf the system of identification by finger prints by the United States army is the discovery of a British murJercr in the person of a soldier at Port Leavenworth. The man was a prisoner in the United Stated penitentiary, serving a five-year sentence for a military crini. In prison he was well behaved, but when the warden, following the general order to take finger print records of soldiers attempted to obtain an impression of the man's digits, he met with violent resistance and the assistant who tried to make the record was knocked down. Suspecting that this resistance "was based upon the man's knowledge of the use to whi'h the finger prints might be put, the warden sent copies of the prints to the police authorities in a number of cities. In a short time Scotland Yard reported that the man had committed an atrocious murder in Morta, that he had been sentenced to life imprisonment and that he had escaped to America. SCULLY'S DAUGHTERS CUT OFF. Three Children of Land Owner Disinherited by Terms of Will. "Lord" William Scully, said to be the largest land owner iu America, who died recently in London, worth many million dollars, cut off his three daughters without a cent. This was made known when his will was filed in Washington for probate. The will was dated April 22. 11X31. Mr. Scully's lands, all of which are in the United States, are devised resolutely to his wife, E. Angela Scully. "Lord" Scully left no doubt as to his intentions in regard to his daughters, Mary, Julia and Kathleen. His will says: I leave my three daughters by my first wife. Mary and Julia (both of whom, as I hear, have been married) and Kathleen &ud to their children and their descendants nothing whatever." ' FIRE SWEEPS RANCHES.

Delegate Cale Says People Want Poyr to Make Their Laws. Delegate Thomas Cale of Fairbanks, Alaska, who is in Seattle on his way to Washington, said that the people of Alaska ar more interested in securing a territorial form of government than in anything else that is before them at present.

' ' Curses Roosevelt; in a Cell. For saying "To h 1 wilh the President." Captain Henry R.! Kraft of the steamship Bessie Smith was sentenced to one hour in prison in Pittsburg, and served his term. The technical charge against him was obstructing a Federal officer, Kraft having made ibe offensive remark when ordering from hit ship a United States marshal. Hart je Coachman Guilty.

JUDGE GARY DEAD.

Heart Disease Carries Off Nestor ot CblrHRo Judiciary. Judge Joseph E. Gary, for fortythree consecutive years a Judge of the Superior Court in Cook County, died at his home in Chicago Wednesday of h'art disease. Death, though sudden, was peaceful for the "grand old man" of the Cook -County bench. For eiphtyfive years the sands of Joseph Gary's life had been running their course, and when tl3 final grain had dropped he bad gained the things that are sought after and cherished as .covetously as gold the love and veneration of his fellows. Joseph E. Gary was born hi Pottsdam, X. Y., July O. 1S21. his parents being of puritan stock. He became a carpenter and then studied law. In 1S43 he came west to St. Ixul, workius at tlie bench and reading law during spare time until 1S44. when be was admitted fo the bar In St. Louis, where he remained until the gold diggings attracted hin to California, where he practiced law and dabbled In mining. While en route to the west he met Murray F. Tuley in Las Vegas, v. M., and in 1850 he located in Chicago, where he found Mr. Tuley. They formed a law iartnership and their close personal friendship continued until the death of Judge Tuley. Mr. Gary ascended the bench of the Superior Court of Cook County in 1SG3 and he was elected at each succeeding JUDGE JOSEPH E. GART. term. He was given a popular ovation on the occasion of his fortieth anniversary on the bench, on which occasion he sat as an ex-oiliclo Judge of the Criminal Court. Probably the most notable utterance by Judge Gary was that on the sentencing of the anarchists, some of whom were hanged Nov. 11, 1SS7. He said in part: The people of the country loveVtheir institutions. They love their homes. They love their property. They will never consent that by violence and murder those institutions shall be broken down, their homes despoiled and their property destroyed. And the people are strong enough to protect and sustain their institutions and to punish all. offenders against their, laws; and those who threaten danger to civil society, if the law is enforced, are leading to destruction whoever may attempt to execute such threa's. The existing. order of society can be changed only by the will of the majority. Each man has full right to advocate by speech or print such opinions as suit himself; .but if he proposes murder as a means of enforcing them he puts his own life at stake; and no clamor about free speech, or evils to be cured, or wmnw to be 'redressed will shield him from the consequences of his crime. His liberty is not a license to destroy. Vaccination for Germ Dlscaaca. Sir Almeroth E. Wright, the noted London physician," who is credited with the discovery of the opsonic index, which indicates the power of the blood to destroy diseased germs, is now visiting in this country, and recently delivered an address at the Philadelphia ' College of Physicians. He said he had reached the conclusion, after much experimentation, that bacteriological inoculation is the best means to fight any disease that owes its inception to germs, not excepting even tuberculosis. The gen-ral plan of treatment is the same with that as with other diseases. After the opsonic tst on the patient's blood the vaccine is introduced into the body until the blood is sufficiently strengthened to throw off its impurities. Status of Chnrche In Germany. The official order book of church membership in Germany, issued by Pastor Schneider of Elberfeld, as translated and reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows that the number of conversions from the Koman Catholic chorch to the Protestant is considerably greater than those who have gone from the Protestant ranks into tLe Roman faith. According to this authority, 75,978 members of the Catholic church in Germany became Protestants between 1S0O and '1S04, while only lt0TA went from Protestantism to Catholicism. The order . book draws attejlion to the fact that not only in the empire as a whole, but in each and every State the Protestants have been making the greater gains. Relatively these are much greater in France than elsewhere. Farmers Holding Dark Wheat. The scarcity of wheat on the market indicates that the farmers in the wheat belt are dissatisfied with the low price of 50 and 00 cents per bushel and are forming unions to hold the crop out of the market. The vast quantity of grain coming from the Canadian northwest has kept the price low. Mexico FlKhtlair Beef Trust. The Mexican government has decided to establish meat markets throughout Mexico City and sell meats at sctual cost or lower if necessary to drive the meat trust out of business. This is due to the fact that the trust recently advanced the prices of meat, so as to place it out of the reach of the poorer classes. r English Girl's Swimming Itecord. . Miss Jennie Fletcher of Leichester, England, a 10-year-old girl, has beaten the world's swimming record of 100 yards for women, her time being 1 :20 1-5. Farm Produce Trust Arrives. The announcement of the purchase of the big butter distributing firm of James I tow land & Co., New York, in the interest of the American Farm Produce Company, drew attention to the extensive operations of the latter concern, which ajras to control the entire market for egg milk and poultry throughout the country. The headquarters of this new trust are at Chicago, and it is understood to be financed by such men as Ityan, Brady, Morton, Whitney, Speer and others. Although the company is capitalized at on?y $2.000,000, it is supposed to have unlimited resources. Mills Hotel for Women. Two hundred delegates of the eleventh convention of the New York City federation of women's clubs pledged their support tc a hotel for working women ard gills, and took steps toward the organization of a company for that purpose. A hotel of this character for working girls and women has already beoii in successful operation mt Chicago, making a surplus of $2,000 the first year. It is announced that Faderewski will not come to America this year, but will remain In Europe to complete his symphony.

Business conditions generally reflect .a strongly Chicago. sustained and encourag ing to:ie. Better evidence of commercial progress cannot be cited than the new high aggregate attained by bank exchanges for October and the inability of railroads to give prompt forwarding Of commodities, notwithstanding recent large additions to rolling stock. No diminution appears In demands for luanufactured products, while the raw material markets continue to be heavily drawn upon, and there is renewed buying of much staple merchandise for both local and interior account. Sharper weather increased the absorption of seasonable retail lines, and this branch affected October sales in excess of those for the same month last year, when the demand was exceptionally good. Heavy consumers are more than ever interested in raw supplies for future use and cost is an important item in calculations. No decided change ä seen In money rates, but Increasing circulation and heavy dividend disbursements .suggest an easier feeling. Mercantile collections, show well and defaults again are comparatively small. Aside from- questions of cost, the developments in manufactures present no special features. Broadly considered, the Industrial situation Is one of Intense activity, and steady accessions are constantly made to the already enormous volume of forward work. More'definite headway is made in plans for adding t capacity In this district involving heavy outlays. The leather, market holds firm and current ordern include many from the outside, indicating that stocks may leeome quickly reduced. Footwear makers accumulate liberal contracts and the water and spring cutting will be unusually large. Reports from the woodworking branches, heavy hardware, machinery and implement makers testify lo improving demands and Increasing outputs at this time. Building construction makes seasonable advance in view of the coming winter, but there is no lessening of new plans, and supplies of material are in urgent request. Dun's Iieview of Trade. Clear and colder weather has mprdved retail trade and stimulated re Nev York. order business greatly, resulting in a record October trade with jobbers, beside helping the coal trade and kindred lines. Industry is active, labor scarcity Is still a feature, Iron and steel markets are advancing and large imiorts are the only apparent source of relief. Holiday trade preparations and sales have been so far encouraging. Spring business is of good volume as a whole and hosiery men are taking orders for next fall. The only really hurtful development, Itself an outgrowth of superabundant prosperity, is the growing tension as regards transiortatlou facilities. Demands for increased wages lire an additional feature pressing for attention upon railway managers, but amicable settlements are hoped for. Collections are h-egular.

PARLIAMENT FOR FILIPINOS. In 1007 the President Will Redeem Iromie Made. A Washington dispatch says th;it the President is preparing to redeem his promise made to the Philippine people through Secretary Taft that they shall have a parliament of their own, conditioned upon their good behavior for a term of two years, and it is understood that Secretary Taft himself will proceed to the Philippines next spring to witness the installation of the new form of representative government. On March 27, 1905, the Philippine census was published, and consequently two years from that date March 27, 1907 under the terms of the act

of Congress, the President will direct the 'Philippine -commission to call a general election for the choice of delegates to what will be known as the Philippine assembly. This body is to take over all legislative powers heretofore exercised by the Philippine commission in all that part of the archipelago not inhabited by Moros or nonChristian tribes. As this date draws near the Philippine people are showing signs of agi tation and to the officials here it is evident that they are expecting some benefits that cannot at once be? realized. For instance, the assembly of provisional governors recently In session In Manila with the view to arranging the preliminaries for the meeting of the Philippine assembly Is reported to have recommended that the suffrage be widely extended. It is pointed out here that this is not possible; for toe reason that the act of Congress under which the assembly will, be convened expressly states the qualifications of voters. , These in brief are that the voter must be at least 23 years of age (which was theSpanish requirement) ; must be able to read and write either Spanish or English, or must own a certain small amount of property, or must have been In the past an officeholder under the Spanish government; These qualifications were framed upon the old Spanish practice and no Philippine assembly can change them. The new assembly or legislature will consist of two houses to be known as the Philippine commission and the Philippine assembly, the latter to consist of not less than fifty nor more than 100 members. It Is probable that the pres cut commission will be merged in the upper house. i.'-A;.-; A m The annual report of the Great North on Itailroad Company shows an increase of nearly $7,000.000 in gross earnings, the tatal being $4G,25D,3o0. ? Executive and managing oilicers of th large railway systems are encouraging a new railroad correspondence school that has just been established, as they believe that it will result in a more plentiful supply of good railroad labor. During the last summer" the Grand Trunk railway carried 120,000 passengers on special trains. This is the largest business ever handled in any three months, and equals the record made dur ing the world's fair in Chicago. The annual report of the Baltimore and Ohio Itailroad Company rhows gross earnings of $S2,50S,719, an increase of nearly $10,000,000 over the preceding year. The net earnings were $29,106, 799. All records were broken in the carriage of, freight, which totaled 33,333,102 tons. The decrease of $780,784 in passenger earnings during the Jast fiscal year oi the Illinois Central railroad is shown by the annual report just issued, but from other sources earnings' increase was $."!, 030,405, or a total increase of $2, 127,333. The expenses were only $34,002,477 in the last thirteen years. Ten million dollars has been used in substituting new engines and cars for old ones. The first heavy train run over the Xew York Central by electricity drawn by one of the new 100-ton electric locomotives, rolled into the Grand Central station af ter making a seven-mile trip from High Bridge on the same schedule as the regu lar slum train. President Wilgus and a nartv of officials were on board. The train consisted of eight Pullman cars. The locomotive is almost noiseless, due to the fact that the motors are attached directly to the shaft. The maximum speed can be attained in one-third the dfctanee required by a steam locomotive. In his annual report President Delano of the Wabash says that competition among railroads in the future will be in supplying facilities for passenger and freight traffic, rather than competition in rates. This is true, particularly in view of the rate law, which will result in fixed, stable and universal" rates. The gross earnings for the year were $25,015.378, which is an increase of $318,378, notwithstanding the falling off of $294,170 in passenger earnings. Repair ing expenses were $1S,078,887, or a de crease of $2,423,3.. The surplus for the year was $509,332. Seven years' ago the present terminal of the New York Central and thf New Haven sjstems at Forty-second street. New York, was completed at a cost of $2.500,000. It was regarded as a mag nificent monument to the commercial greatness of the metropolis, adequate for iüi needs for many decades. Engineers ranked it among the best equipped rail road stations of the world. And yet, after only seven years' us?, this great structure must be torn down to make way for one of far vaster proportions. Never in the history of the city has its growth made necessary the sacrifice of a building sc large or so costly. E. II. Harriman has' been so favorably impressed with the recent experiments with the gasoline motor car cn Lnion Pacific lines that he has ordered the erection rf shops exclusively for their construction. These cars are now in active use on Union Pacific tracks, several of them having been turned out by the regu lar Omaha shops in the last few months. They are made entirely of steel and are 53 feet long, being similar in shape to an inverted racing yacht, the roof round ed off and the front end taperin off to a sham ''point. Thus wind resistance is reduced to a minimum. The car is driven by a lOO horse-power, six-cylinder gasoline engine, wlh a primary battery to start on and a magneto for regular run ning. ' . ' The seventeenth annual report of the Denver and. Rio Grande Railroad Com pany has just been issued. The gross earnings- of the road for the year were $17,304,559, an increase of $207,731 over the previous year. The operating expenses were $10,029,850, showing an increase of $298,307. The net earnings were $0,074,709, a decrease of $30,56. The Erie Railroad Company has announced that an order has been placed for three of the heaviest and most pow erful freight locomotives ever designed. Andrew Carnegie has returned to Amer ica in the belief that spelling leform will progress rapidly.

CMALL-POX IN PHILIPPINES.

Disease Almoit Entirely- Eradicate by Vaccination. The records of the bureau of health at Manila show that within the last twelve months 213,000 have been vaccinated by officials and many more by private physicians. When it is remembered that Manila's population is not more than 220,000, it can be understood why, in the year ended Dec. 31, 1904, there were only 27 deaths from smallpox. Ten of the 27 were Europeans or Americans who had I.eglected or avoided vaccination. During' the Spanish regime a law existed making vaccination compulsory, but the chief good which resulted from the law was that the people became accus tomed to its existence on the statute books and did not greatly objct to it or strenuously resist its application at the hands of the Americans. In a few provinces dif ficulties were met. In these ca vaccinators were at or.ee withdrawn and the pueblos left to themselves. Within six months the contrast between the vaccinated and unraccinated pueblos was so marked that the chief men of the objecting municipalities requested the vaccinators to return. As smallpox is both epidemic, and pan-, dernic in the Philippines, the necessity for a division of vaccination in the board of health is very great. The original plan was to organize a corps of 350 vaccinators. That number was considered necessary in order to vaccinate the inhabitants of the islands within three years. Owing to the depleted condition of the insular treasury, the commission has txn unable to authorize the employment of so large a number, and with the Kmall number of men available the question arises whether vaccination will hot have to be practiced continuously for many years in order t immunize the 0,000,000 inhabitants whoare now in those islands and their offspring as it arrives. Oar OptlmUm Deplored. Prof. Felir Adier, in his first fall address to the Society for Ethical Culture, fpoke of the "Present Moral Crisis in American Life," and referred to the r-?-cent mass of exposed depravity in public life. He sard that the humiliating fact was that the men high in state and church were those chiefly guilty. One thing he said, was almost pathetic, namely, th2 persistence of editors, writers and speak:t "when some heartrending revelation hts been made," in affirming that the people have the power and nbility to wt things right. For his part he has ro faith in the fatalism that when the masses rule oniehow things will come out right. Speaking of the Democratic platform demand in Xew York, "that the fruits of labö of right nelong to the laborer," he aiks how it is possible for this to be done under our present factory system, and insists on the need of new laws and new principles upon which to settle those problems. A Woman Enlighten Women. Mrs. Sally Morris Corey had some really refreshing things to say to the clubwomen who attended the meeting of the Society for Political Study at New York. One was that a woman must be either a fool or a toady without original or independent speech if she is to be a popular t'ub woman. She said that the business woman was all right if she was one, but that too many made a pretense of business, hoping to secure notice or make a match. She compared the nineteenth century mother t.nd homemaker with the up-to-date college girl pursuing a foreign title "neglectful, mothers of unwishedfor children." She insisted that until we had women judges, jurists and executioners the sex "Would never be on a real equal ity with men. x Discontent as a Disease. Ire. A. R. Mitchell surgeon for theRock Island railroad, speaking before the Chicago convention of railway surgeons, , eaid that th? prevailing popular tendency to wage war on wealth and corporations was a form of neurasthenia, which sweeps over the country like an epidemic. He said the power which had enabled the few to profit at the expense of the many was the, fault cf the many. He showed that men were led emotionally into destructive methods, consequently the lobbies maintained by corporations in different capitals. were necefsary t their self-preserva-. tion, because of the lower standard growing out of perverted nerve action, which is spreading itself in the form of a hysterical epidemic. Street Car Safetr Device. At Columbj, Ohio, the street cars have been testing a new device to prevent accidents to passengers in alighting while the car is m motion. It consists of a metal shield so attached to the front side of the car handles as to prevent a pasjsenger from alighting backward. Finding that the handle behind her is out of reach, a woman instinctively will turn to the forward handle, thus getting off with face towards the front. At the same time the shield serves, to pi event men from getting on the car while In rapid motion, as there is danger of getting the hand caught between the handle and the shield, or of missing the handle altogether. Morgan's f23,00O Dlble. The famous illuminated parchment Bible, produced by the Cluny monks in France over 200 years ago, has just been -received by its purchaser, J. P. Morgan of New York, who was require! to pay a duty of $4,000. its value being appraised at $25,000. Morgan's brokers protested " against the duty, saying that the book should be admitted free, because it is printed matter more than twenty years old. The Bible is about 20x24 inches and 3 inches thick, the cover being of stamped leather. Kansas Antl-Trnst Salt Bea-las. . Assistant Attorney General Jackson of Kansas has begun criminal proceedings against the Internitional Harvester Compan'p on fifty counts for the alleged violation of the State anti-trust law. This law provides that the violator may be fined from $100 to $1,000 on each cocnt, and 'that the fines would go into the State school funds. All of the counts are n based on the eiclusive contract feature and of the contract issued to agents by the accused companies. Opening of Terslan Parliament. The Shah of Tersia has opened the first parliament of his realm with great show and pomp. On account of impaired health, his speech from the throne was read by the Governor of Teheran. He expressed his belief that the people "would not abuse the freedom given them and that parliament would support the government. His words were received with enthusiasm, and there were great festivities in the capital, the city being illuminated at night. , Fight for Earthquake Insurance. According to report, a group of San Francisco policy holders whosj claims amount to $5,000,000 out of a total of nearly $20,000,000 written by the defaulting Germhn and Austrian insuran?e companies, have chosen Thomas Williams and Oscar Sutro of the San Francisco bar to invoke the aid of the federal government in an effort to shame them into paying at least a part of the defaulted claims. Wireless Power to Airship. Raymond L. Angelmire of Chicago announces that he has constructed an airship propelled by currents obtained from machinery on the. earth, by the use of Bell's aeioplane and Harbert's mechanism. The factors of carrying fuel and engines are thus eliminated. Boston's Xovel Klre Waa-on. The city of Boston has just installed in its fire-fighting service a motor-driven chemical wagon.
