New York, Sept. 19. Stock juggling operations of the oil combine and the enormous earnings of the subsidiary corporations were the sensational features in the second day's hearing of the government's action to dissolve the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. Profits of more than 1.000 per cent per year are made by the Standard Oil company of Indiana, the corporation sentenced to pay a fine of $29,240,000 by Judge Landis in Chicago. The company's profits for 190G were $10,516,082 and in 1903 they were $8,753,410, a total of two years busines3 of $19,269,492. The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey owns 9.990 shares of the Indiana comnanv's stock. The Indiana
company is capitalized at $1,000,000. The dividends paid by the Standard OH company of Indiana last year ag
gregated $4,495,500, or a litt.e more
than $6,000,000,00 less than the prof-
Its. Pay $47,346,000 in Year. It appeared that from seventeen subsidiary companies with a total capitaliation In 1903 of $92,255,200 the Standard Oil company of New Jersey received dividends of $47,S46,9S5. The profits of these companies in 1903 amounted to $03,635,958. The dividends for 1906 amounted to $41,369,625 and the profits for the same year were $57,349,032. At the close of the hearing Frank 31. Kellogg, the government prosecutor, after the arduous task of dragging bits of information slowly from the mouths of reluctant officials, stated: "The transfer of the Waters-Pierce stock to M. M. Van Puren for $4,000,000 was nothing more than a juggle by which the oil trust attempted to
cover up Its ownership of the ousted company during the legal trouble in Texas. When the storm quieted down the trust took over the stock again. Relationship Is Shown. "Mr. Van Ruren Is the son-in-law of John D. Archbold, who may shortly succeed Mr. Rockefeller to the control of the trust. "The enormous earning capacity of the absorbed companies Is a revelation in this age of finance. That one company should earn in one year eight times the amount of its capitaliation Is scarcely creditable, but this fact the trust admits." Clarence G. Fay. acting comptroller cf the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, was shown a table of seventeen companies subsidiary to the Standard OH company of New Jersey and a summary of their profits for the year 1906. He attested its authenticity. It Is as follows: Atlantic Refining $ 5,506.237

MISS M'CLAVE HONORED. Reception for Faithful Teacher Prominent on the Program. Cambridge ICty, Ind., Sept. 19. One of the most interesting and important features of the home coming was the reception given for Miss Mattie McClave, former primary teacher at the public school building, this morning from nine until eleven o'clock. There was no stated program but several of her former pupils gave short talks and Mrs. Fannie Fogarty, of Dayton rendered a very beautiful vocal solo. Over one hundred of Iier former charges were present and the meeting was quite impressive. It
took a great number back to the days of their childhood, the recollection of which brought tears to many eyes. Pupils who had been instructed as to their A B C's by Miss McClave from the Atlantic and Pacific coast were in evidence. Persons representing four generations which had received their first knowledge from Miss McClave were present, Mrs. Nichols of Muncie being a representative of four generations and Caleb Lester of this place is representative of three generations. Miss McClave began her career as a teacher in 1857 and taught continually until a few years ago. She had charge of the primary grade and by following her course of instruction
and discipline. In that grade, through
out their life, many men and women
have become prominent, both socially
and In the commercial world.
As a token of esteem her pupils
presented her with a purse of over $100 in gold. A photograph was tak
en or the pupils present with Miss McClave in a prominent position.

DRUMMING . IS A FEATURE.
Washington, Sept. 19. The most extraordinary government document, which by its prodigal criticism, promises to raise a storm about the ears of its author, Capt. William V. Judson
of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, has just made its appearance. Capt. Judson, in an official report, gives ground for com
plaint, not only on the part of naval officers, members of the diplomatic corps and brother officers in the army but has something to say about the
"foolishness of sending American warships to the far Pacific, which is
out of harmony with the announced
intentions of the president in this re gard." Was Sent to China.
Capt. Judson Is one of the officers
sent to China to report on the opera
tions of the Russian and Japanese arm
ies. The scenes of carnage which he witnessed appear to have had a most demoralizing and depressing influence
upon him. He returned to the United States full of dark forebodings for his country, and extremely pessimistic concerning the ability of the army and navy to prevent America from falling a prey to conspiring foes. In his report he disparages the utility of the United States Navy, hints mysteriously at coming wars, which will involve this nation, and tells
about the weakness growing out of the Philippines, the Panama Canal and the Monroe doctrine. It is apparent that Capt. Judson believes that Germany and Japan have designs upon the United States. He has a chapter on this topic, and although he does not mention either nation by name, he indicates them both beyond reasonable doubt.

Charles O'Conor once began an aft
er dinner speech In Philadelphia in this way: "I must confess that I dread to make after dinner speeches. At the most sumptuous dinners, even at such a dinner as this one, if I know that at the ?nd I must make a speech I am nervous, I have uo appetite. I find little to admire in the best efforts of the chef. In truth, gentlcmeu. I can readily imagine Daniel, if he was at all of my mind, heaving a sigh of relief as the lions drew near to devour him heaving a sigh of relief and murmuring: 'Well, if there's any after dinner speaking to be done on this occasion, at least it won't be done by me.' "

Small boys who have made trips into the woods, claim that the prospect of a good nut crop this fall is exceedingly good. The fact, that the summer has been marked by more rain than usual has made all the nuts fill out well. The hazelnut especially, it is said, will be plentiful. There wil also be a good crop of walnuts and hickorynuts. Nut hunters will make their first great exodus from Richmond after the first frost.
THE b i haimuLING FIQ.
A Cnrfona Tropical Tree That Lives Upon Otaer Tree. Visitors to Mexico and other tropical countries often have their attention called to "the strangling fig" a tree that commences its growth as an eplphyte that is, one form of plant life
that grows perched on another far up
on the trunk or among the branches of another tree, usually on a palmetto or
some of the kinds of palms. The roots of the strangling tree extend downward around the host tree to the ground, gradually joining together, making a tubelike mass of roots sometimes as much as six feet or more in
diameter.
When the attacked tree is a palm
death to It Is caused not so much by the binding around the trunk as by shad
ing out its branches by the attacking
tree.
When the attacked tree Is an exogen
that Is, one with wood and bark the attacking roots bind so tightly as to cause a stoppage of the flow of the sap. As the snp of a tree is really Its food
(changed by the leaves so that it can
be used) and the flow of the food is
thus stopped, the attacked tree is really "starved" to death. So death to the
attacked tree is caused either by smothering or by starvation or by both.
The peculiar manner in which the
flattened roots extend down and around the tree give them the appearance of some thick, slow flowing material run
ning dawn the tree. St. Nich'

The Best Method of Finding Oat
Their True Value.
Very often somebody thinks that he
or she has a small fortune locked up in a fiddle case. The somebody does
not know much about violins, but has
heard or read that an old violin is a very valuable thing, and because
grandfather happened to leave a violin, to assume duties upon the harp,
somebody immediately believes that grandfather's vloliu Is a treasure. As a matter of fact, ninety-nino times
out of a hundred grandpa invested In
a ten dollar fiddle and played "Suwanee River" and "Annie Laurie." When
he bought It the violin was worth $10,
but since then it has been depreciating in value at the rate of about 10 cents a year. From the mere fact
that most of the varnish is scratched off and there are several cracks in the instrument it does not follow that it is
an "old one."
If a violin Is good to start with it
will Improve with age and good care,
but, on the other hand, a poor fiddle
is not benefited to any extent if it survives a century or two.
Don't judge a violin by the label inside of It. Anybody can copy an old name and date and paste it in. If all
the violins bearing a Stradivarius la
bel were his, poor old Antonius would be working yet. More than half of the cheap, worthless violins bear copies of ais or some other master's label, and
even some real old and good instru
ments have been passed off as the
work of Amati, Guarneri, Magini and
ather famous makers.
Any one having a violin with the label of a comparatively unknown maker
is likely to be the owner of a more val
uable instrument than the person
whose fiddle is marked "Antonius
Stradivarius."
There Is only one way to find out whether or not a violin is living up to
its name, and that is to get the Judgment of a good dealer. If he tells you that your violin is no good, but still
offers to buy it, you may be quite cer
tain that you have a good fiddle. But don't sell It. Take it to some other
authority and see what he says, but don't make a bargain. You will hear from him if your violin Is genuine, for the supply of valuable ones is small and great rivalry exists among dealers to secure masterpieces. A great many people have the Idea that all the very good instruments are the output of a half dozen old geniuses when the truth Is tfeat there are scores of old as well as quite modern makers whose works bring very high prices.

A FEW WORDS.
Don't say abolishment, for abolition is the perfect word. Dan't say wonderment when wonder will express your meaning. Don't say "My politics are." Politics is singular in spite of the final s. Don't say people when you mean persons. People Is a collective noun, in the singular nuasber. Don't say flapdoodle words, for even when properly employed your meaning will not be so clear to the reader as when you use simple words. Don't say receipt when you mean recipe. The collector to whom you pay money gives you a receipt. A formula
for the preparation of food Is a recipe.
Don't say surprised when you mean
astonished. You may be astonished to find Johnny stealing-Jam, but he is surprised by you. St. Louis Post-Dis-
