i LARGE RED FOX RILLED III CITY Discovered at the Home of Mrs. Caroline Reeves Today and Shot.

CHICKEN THEFTS CLEAR. NOT IN YEARS HAS A FOX BEEN KILLED IN THIS VICINITY AND PERHAPS NEVER IN THE CITY LI NITS. Early this morning while -working about the stables at the country place of Mrs. Caroline Reeves, on South Sixteenth street. Richard Edwards, coachman, shot and killed a large red ; fox. For sonic timo there has been si. wholesale disappearance of chickens about the place and the attaches have been in a auandry as to the cause of the depredations, somo thinking the gradual depletion of the flock was duo to petty thieving. However, all efforts to entrap the intruder were futile until this morning when Edwards chanced to see a large, red fox make his disappearance from the stable lot with a large plump fowl. Sly rcjnard bad been caught at his own game and at once Edwards started in hot pursuit. For a time the animal avoided his pursuer but after being shot at the second time, the fox was killed. The pelt was given to Dr. L. C. Hoover, who is having it tanned and expects to convert it into a rug. It will be novel indeed for this is probably the only fox that has been killed near Richmond in years and perhaps the only one ever killed in the city limits. C, C.

SCANDAL PROMISED OF BIG PROPORTIONS German Empire May Be Shaken to Its Very Foundation By Developments.

HERR BEBEL WAS HEARD. HE MADE SENSATIONAL CHARGESMINISTER OF WAR CONFIRMED THE ALLEGATIONS MADE BY SOCIALIST LEADER. Berlin, Nov. ;;. Following. the sensational charges of scandal in the Ger man Army, made by Herr Bebel, the socialist leader, in the Reichstag. Gen. j Von Linema, minister of war, confirm-! ed the allegations and a scandal is promised which may shake the empire. I In admitting that the charges of ; Herr Bebel that the army was honey-1 combed with scandal and that unnatural practices prevailed, General Liucnia said: "When Herr Harden asserts, however, that the entire regiments were contaminated be exaggerated more -r less, but the fact undoubtedly has been established that our soldiers can with difficulty resist the temptation which these low fellows make possible. Nevertheless I am convinced that the alleged orgies at the Adler Villa, as described by a witness at the Harden trial, were mythical. All persons who should have had positive knowledge of them knew nothing." Taking up Harden's insinuation against Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg, the former German ambassador at Vienna, the minister of war declared that immediately after the articles appeared in Die Zukunft he and other military authorities had caused an investigation to be made in order to make a report to the Emperor, but nothing could be found to substantiate the charges made against Gen. Count Wilhelm von Hohenau. FARMER IS REAL KING IN THIS COUNTRY Undisturbed by the Worries of Financiers. NATURE HAS BEEN KIND. Washington, Nov. HO. Uudisturbed by the worries of financiers, laughing at all the talk about currency problems, the American farmer today is reveling in wealth and spending his evenings calculating vhis profits in one of the most prosperous seasons for years. In cold hard figures Secretary of Agriculture Wilson points a pretty picture of happiness and content In the rural districts of the nation and the estimates of his crops by experts show that the farmer will have more money to spend and more to invest than he has ever had before out of. a year's work. Nature has been very kind to the agriculturist, according to the reports made public. The crop yield has been above tho average in quantity and quality, while- values are far above those of previous years. City and County STATISTICS. Deaths and Funerals.

MALE DRESS REFORM IT IS HOPELESSLY HAMPERED BY THE STIFF WHITE SHIRT. The Wit This Garment Interfere With Both Health and Comfort. Some of the Absurdities of the Present Masculine Style of Attire. The necessity by which men feel coerced of proving to the world that they wear white shirts lies at the basis of all the difficulties of the dress problem. Until the garmjeut becomes extinct it js hopeless to attempt the reform of men's dress on the lines of health and comfort. It will of course ultimately disappear, for it is but the mark of a stage in the evolution of dress. Just as the vermiform appendix is a useless evolutionary remnant in the body. But the question is whether we ought to await the slow course of evolution or to use our common sense and abandon the ancient garment at once. j Why do we wear white shirts? Ages ago it was only the wealthy who could afford to clothe themselves in linen. The possession of linen underwear was then a mark of social position, and there was an obvious advantage in making public display of it. We may put down three-fourths of the discomfort of the hot summer to the account of the starched shirt. It prevents the very process devised by nature to keep the body cool the evaporation of sweat. In so far a it hinders this natural process in summer, the white shirt favors disease. But in winter it is a fruitful cause of illness. In winter the mere wearing of a white shirt would no doubt leave a man no better and no worse if he were content to wear it for his own satisfaction. But the curious law of evolution comes in and compels him to wear it in such a way as to do himself physical Injury. Wherever evolution is at work it leaves vestiges literally, footprints. Probably It is millions of years since the vermiform appendix became a useless organ, but It still survives. All evolutionary survivals appear to be harmful. The appendix is the seat of appendicitis. In the inner corner of the eye there is the remnant of a once useful third lid, which now only lodges dust and causes irritation. The lord chancellor's wig was once a comfort In ancient drafty legislative chambers and now merely serves to make a sensible man look ridiculous and give him headaches. People who drew up laws were long ago paid according to the number of words, but the multiplicity of words now only causes confusion. So the white shirt that was once a badge of wealth and culture, being no longer of value for that purpose, is only a cause of discomfort and disease. It Is necessary to cut a piece out of the vest and the coat, just over the most Important organs of the body. In order to prove to our neighbors that we wear white shirts. Consequently in the winter time we expose the lungs and the air passages to the cold wind and the cold rain. From the point of view of health nothing could be more stupid. Bronchitis Is one of the most deadly of all diseases In this country. Bronchitis is simply inflammation of the bronchial tubes. This inflammation is excited by a chill, a chilling of that part of the body left exposed in order to show that we wear white shirts. The white shirt, in fact, might appear in the tables of the registrar general as the cause of so many deaths, perhaps 100.000 a year. And does it really improve a man's appearance? By virtue of the association of ideas It certainly does. Usually men who do not wear white shirts are not given to cleanliness. The man who wears a white shirt washes his face and hands and brushes his clothes; hence when we see a white front and white cuffs we experience that pleasant sensation produced by general neatness of the person and clothing. But that a few square Inches of white clothing over the chest makes a man look better is an absurd conclusion. j The case for the white shirt has not' a leg to stand upon. The garment is uncomfortable, unhealthy and unbecoming. And as it has lost the only useful function it ever possessed that is, its symbolism of exceptional wealth we ought to discard it altogether. The difficulties of this course are very great no doubt. What we want is an j "antlwhite shirt society," which would agree to wear, from some prearranged date, a dress designed wholly with re-j gard for comfort, health and beauty. I T. I'.

Malet had been a republican gcueral, w as ruined j by the rise of Napoleon, betook himself to plotting, was arrested and finally put in a ;iiadhouse. During the emperor's absence in Russia in 1812 Malet escaped one night from his prison, obtained a general's uniform and with an accomplice dressed as an aid-decamp made his way to the prison of La Force, where the unsuspecting governor released on his command two other ex-republicans. Generals Laborle and Guidal. prisoners on a like charge to his own. Together they proceeded to a neighboring barracks, announced to the commandant that Napoleon was dead and that they were acting by the decree of the senate, ordered the troops to be paraded and dtspatched bodies of men upon various duties. Some arrested Savary. the minister of police; others the police prefect. Another battalion seized the Hotel de V'llle. Everybody obeyed Malet Implicitly, even the prefect of the Seine, and he would undoubtedly have gained possession of I'aris had he not been recognized by Labordc, chief of the military police, as an escaped prisoner. He was arrested after a scuffle, the plot was unraveled, aud In due course Malet, with twenty-three of his abettors, was shot. HOW WATER ACTS. Its Expansion and Contraction and Its Solvent Powers.

Below Is the list of aned air pressure. This also explains rirnnrUHons made ,odav:

why water boils away more rapidly. I ! quickly or at a lower temperature In the mountains, where the pressure of the air is less than on the seacoast or in the valleys. If sugar or salt is added to water the temperature of the boiling point Is raised a few degrees. As a rule, as water is heated It will hold a greater amount of a substance In solution. A familiar exception is the fact that ice water will dissolve twice as much lime as boiling water. At the other extreme boiling water will dissolve seventeen times s much saltpeter as will cold water. ' But water varies in its solvent powers regardless of beat One pound of water will hold two pounds of sugar in solution, but only two ounces of common salt. l-'-rank Incense. Frankincense is the purest of all incense. It is a gum resin from an Arabian terebinth. To obtain this a deep incision is made in the trunk and below It a narrow strip of bark peeled off. When the exudation has hardened, the incision is deepened. In about J three months the resin has acquired a i sufficient degree of consistency. It is gathered in large quantities and packed la goafskius. It was formerly lielieved that the trees which yielded frankincense were infested by winged serpents, :.r.d the only way to be rid of thern and to get at the treasure was by burning gum styrax. an odoriferous balsam of aromatic smell.

FORAKER ENTERS THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST

Will Make a Merry Mess of the Ohio Situation. WILL GIVE UP SENATE. Washington, I. C. Nov. 30. Another sensation was added to the presidential situation by tho formal aunojiicement of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio that he is a candidate for the republican nomination for tho presidency and will accept supiort to that end. Mr. Forakt-r's announcement further complicates an extremely complicated political situation in the Buckeye state. President Roosevelt and the other friends of Secretary Taft had hoped to obtain for him tho unanimous indorsement of Ohio. This now will bo impossible, provided Senator Foraker remains in the field until the convention actually votes. Tho bcnator says he will not withdraw under any circumotances aud that his declaration means that ho is genuinely and honestly a candidate for the presidency. The result of his action will bo that neither he nor Secretary Taft will have a solid delegation behind bis claims, while the other aspirants will be backed by delegations from their native states instructed to give them support.
