Carson by former Attorney General James Gay Gordon, with tho request that suit be entered to restrain the Atlantic Refining company from obstructing Captain J. V. Edwards, oil inspector of Philadelphia, in the performance of his duties. Mr. Gordon said this action was taken "to protect tho publlo from being openly cheated by tho Standard Oil company, of which the Atlantic Refining company is part and parcel." Mr. Gordon and Captain Edwards aver that the Atlantic Refining company has labored to abolish the office of oil Inspector, a position that Mayor Weaver appointed Captain Edwards, March fi. to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Peter Lane, Jr. Rumor Denied.

WHEAT HELD IN KANSAS
CROP WORTH $50,000,000 Reports From Every County in the State Indicate That There Will be Yield of 90,000,000 BushelsThe Corn Crop. Publishers Profjs Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 1. Reports from every county in the state indicate that this year's wheat vield in Kansas will be 00,000,000 bushels. 'and that the corn crop will be about 200,000,000 bushels. Xot more than a third of the wheat cro: has been threshed, but this estimate is based on the threshing which has been done. At the present market values this year's wheat crop is worth $50,000,000, while tho corn promises to put sixty five million more dollars into the pockets of Kansas farmers. EAGLES IN BATTLE. The Darin k and Skill of The Pierce Bird of Prey. Ornithologists are inclined to dis courage the idea that eagles are in the habit of attacking large animals, but a contest witnessed by an observer dispels such a theory. The battle was between an eagle and a stag. The bird singled out from a herd one particular buck, which it succeeded in driving from the rest. It struck the animal with its powerful wings, knocked it clown and linally killed it. A still more remarkable spectacle is well authenticated. An eagle attacked a fawn in the highlands of Scotland. The cries of the Utile one were answered by its dam, which sprang upon the eagle and struck it repeatedly with Its forefeet. Fawn, deer and eagle rolled down a declivity, tho bird was dislodged from its hold and the fawn rescued. Many traditions are extant as to the carrying off of children by eagles. The most recent case bearing close scrutiny is one which happened in South Africa. A TOer farmer whose stock had been harried by eagles lay in ambush for tho robbers aud saw one of them descend and carry off the five-year-old child of one of the Knilir servants. He shot the bird, which, with the child still clutched in its grip, fell Into a thorn bush. The bird was dead, but the child was little hurt. Two eagles will stalk a covert in concert. While one conceals itself the other beats about the bushes with great screaming, driving out its quarry for the hidden eagle to swoop down upon. An even more insidious method has been observed. An eagle seeing a sheep on the edge of a precipice flew at it, screaming shrilly and with forceful beat of wing hurled it into the valley below, where it could devour it at its leisure. In the light of such records there is good reason for believing the legend of the eagle dropping a tortoise on the bald head of .ISschylus, the Greek poet, and so causing his death. MACHNOW, THE GIANT. Bis Russian Who Recently Called Vpon President Roosevelt. Feodor Machnow, the Russian giant, who recently en lied upon President Roosevelt, is nine feet three Inches tall and weighs 365 pounds. lie Is twentysix years of age, is married and has two children, a girl of three years and FEODOR MACHNOW. a Ioy of eighteen months. His wife, who Is a woman of ordinary stature, looks like a doll beside him. To comfortably chat with Machnow It Is necessary to talk Russian and climb to the roof of a car, up in the branches of a tree or a ladder. When he shakes hands ho extends a hand that would encompass a man's head as easily almost as an ordinary mortal grasps a tenuis ball. Doctors nnd Medicine. TTlien a doctor does not have much faith In medicine it is a sign that he is a good dx-tor. The best doctors are those who give good advice rather than medicine; advice that is simple and has common sense back of it.

CHINA IS TO HAVE NEW CONSTITUTION
Plan Now on Foot to Give Flowery Kingdom a New Form of Government. WILL TAKE SOME YEARS A COMMISSION HAS BEEN APPOINTED TO TRANSLATE DIFFERENT CONSTITUTIONS IN CHINESE LANGUAGE. Publishers Press Victoria, ii. C, Aug. 1 According to advices brought by the steamer Empress of Japan, a commission headed by Prince Su has undertaken a translation of constitutions of the principal nations of the world with a view to compiling a constitution for China. The work is not expected to be completed inside of 12 years. Arrangements are being made to issue a paper currency in China about a year hence. Marquis Ito made the following proposals to the Korean government for administrative reform for Korea: Promotion of Japanese industries, extension of general education, a system of appointment by merit, reform of the financial administration of gov ernment and Imperial household, drawing distinctive line between court and cabinet, and amnesty for Korean political offenders in Japan. tSuiiOii t t r i a w u Richmond, Va...

"The Prince of India," the most imposing nnd costliest production of the current season, brought its tour to an end in Baltimore recently. The success of "Brown of Harvard," ber first play, has been Instrumental in securing for Rida Johnson Young a contract to write a comedy for James K. Hackett. Lotta, the wonderful soubrette, who is even now being persuaded to return to the stage after an absence of years, is rich by virtue of her real estate investments. Sam Bernard, a comedian who has always enjoyed a high salary, is no spendthrift. He has collected some money on the outside by touting for different business establishments. Francis Wilson is one of the actors whose carefulness in money matters Is known to all his associates. One result of it is that he owns handsome real estate properties and a magnificent library. MODES OF THE MOMENT. Collars of cream lace worn with semitailored frocks give a pretty finish to them. Taffeta as a suit material seems to be rather out of the running this season, the softer silks and the linens aud cottons lending themselves more adaptably to the prevailing styles. High girdles are not worn so much except to give the princess effect, but It is difficult to give a general rule for belts and girdles this year. Like the hats, they depend much upon the individual taste. To use large buttons for shirt waist studs (too large to readily make buttonholes for) sew ou to the back of each button a small pearl button, wrapping the thread many times to form a neck or stud back. Devoted as we are to the separate blouse, we must admit the superior beauty and becomingness of the shirt suit. At any rate, whether we will or no, it has gained the ascendency, and the tub suits are considered much smarter than shirt waists and skirts. New- York Post. FACTS FROM FRANCE.

PORTER VICTIM OF JOKE
SENT WOODEN SUIT CASE Well Known Richmond Man Now Visiting at Wilmington, Delaware, Suffers Slight Inconvenience to Give Friends a Joke. Harry Porter of this citr, who is visiting in Wilmington, Del., was the recipient recently of a suit case made of wood, which his friends made and sent to him as a joke. The Wilmington Evening Journal of Monday has the following, in regard to the joke: "Harry Porter, of Richmond, Ind., is on a visit to relatives in this city, he having been some years ago a well-known resident of Wilmington, hut later became a resident of the West. ' This morning Mr. Porter was surprised when an expressman delivered to him a delanidated looking suit case made of wood and tied about with a stout cord. Fastened to the rope handle of the case was a large key and a tag bearing his name. Mr. Porter, however, received the cse and paid the express charges, S5 cents clue upon it. "Before examining the box he read the following inscriptions which were painted in bold letters all over.it: "In 7 days return to Harry Poster, alias Dick, Richmond. I"d.

Cor loan Facta Aboot the People's KlRcal Akciwj-. The treasury department is the most Important branch of the government next to the state department. It is the fiscal agency of the people. At its head is the secretary of the treasury, who, for a salary of $22 a day, is responsible for the collecting and disbtirsing of $1,500,000 every day in the year and for the custody all the time of more than $1,000,000,000 in cash and bonds. The various secretaries of the last forty years have handled altogether the Incomprehensible sum of $45,000,000.000. What is more, during all that time less than $250,000 was lost in the treasury department. During any one week of the present year he treasury officials expended more than was required to maintain the entire public service for the whole year 1S05. The money collected by the treasury last year, in round figures was $540,000,000. The total amount expended in the same twelvemonth was $582,000,000. We spent thus $42.000.000 more than we took in, but full $40,000,000 of the excess of expenditure over revenue Is accounted for in the single check given in payment for the Tanama canal property. The biggest bill collected by the treasury was $261,000,000 for customs, the second largest bill collected was for $232,000,000 for internal revenue, then $9,000,000 was taken in for the sale of public lands and 37,000,000 for various small matters. The largest bill paid in the same time was $142,000,000 for pensions, then $115,000,000 for our army and $102,000,000 for our navy. To Indians there was paid a little matter of $10,000,000 and for the interest on the public debt $21,000,000. Finally, the treasury expended $1Sl000,000 for mere miscellaneous "items." If we connt ail the dollars paid out by the treasury" since Mr. Itoosevelt entered the White House we find that the sum Is equal to the sum of all the money In the country at the present time, or about $2.0i.0(to,000.
