Their Bole motive has been one of gain, and with the destruction , of private property that motive will disappear, and so would the progress of society. The very advantage to be derived from the (security of properly in our civilization is that it turns the neutral Kelflshness and desire for gain into the strongest motive for doing that without which the upward development of mankind would cease and rerogression was begun.

It is greatly in the interest of the j workingman, therefore, that corporate j capital should be fairly treated. Any j injustice done to it acts directly upon the wage earners that must look to i corporate wealth for their employment. Take the large body of railroad employes. Any drastic legislation which tends unjustly to reduce the legitimate earnings of the railroad must in the end fall with heavy weight upon the employes of that railroad, becaub the manager will ultimately turn toward wages as the place where economy can be effected. Ho in respect to taxation, if the corporation is made to bear more than its share of the public burdens, it reacts directly first upon its stockholders and then upon its employes."

ARGUMENTS

WALSH CASE WILL BE HEARD MONDAY Cross Examination of Chicago Financier Was Completed Friday, Ending Testimony Given in the Case. SEVERAL CONFLICTING STATEMENTS WERE MADE Several Admissions Drawn From Defendant Will Be a Great Aid to the Prosecution in Arguments. Chicago. Jan. II. With the conclusion esterday afternoon of the cross and redirect examination of John It. Walsh, the taking of testimony in the long drawn out case against the former bank president was practically completed. Arguments on the evidence will be begun Monday morning. Judge Anderson having announced tnat he would be engaged with other matters today, and it is thought the case will be given to the jury before the close of next vveeK. Reaffirming and reiterating today I. iiit his first concern in all of the transactions betweej himself and his bank and his various enterprises, hail always been the welfare of the Chicago National bank, the defendant-witness came through the ordeal of cross examination without retracting a word of his initial declaration. He made admissions which were regarded by the prosecution as compromising to his plea of innocence, but. he maintained to the last that the interests of his bank were always-protected to the best of his judgment. One of the admissions forced from him by the searching interrogations of Assistant District At tornev Dobyns was that, the memoran- i duin notes, the importance of which had bVeu emphasized by the prosecution. were not the record of loans to the persons whose names appeared on the notes. On the other hand he dodared that the unsecured loans which the government has produced in evi-

deuce of alleged bad faith were regard-j J. Burns and District Attorney Willed by him as his personal liabilities to j Ham H. Langdon. None of the parit he IimiiU even when advanced to nth-! ties to the conference would give the

i ers and that, in the event of his death, would have been held for . He declared further their payment that the investments ol trie t lucago : National bank in the securities of Ihe Walsh railroads were not made with the intention of making himself a vail-; road magnate, but for the purpose of' makiu gpossible an advar : '--emis sale i oi the properties and ;ir.. avoiding losses that would otherwise have re-j suited. I The re-direct exaniin. tion by Attorney John S. Miller consisted of but few , questions and brought out no new feature and no rebuttal testimony was offered.

PROSECUTION GETS BLOW. IT DESTROYS THE HOLD UPON BOSS WHO IS LINK BETWEEN ACCUSED BRIBERS AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. San Francisco, January 11 Following the decision of the District Court of Appeals setting aside the conviction of former Mayor Eugene K. richmitz. which may have a serious effect on the prosecution of the San Francisco bribery cases, in which 441 indictments were returned, perhaps ! necessitating a complete readjustment of evidence, much activity prevailed today among those associated in the prosecution. One of the significant features was a conference between Abraham Auef, the former dictator in the politics of San Francisco, Special Agent William slightest indication as to the object! of the meeting, but; it may be said hat the release of Ruef on bail is one of the developments that is expected as a possible compromise between him and the prosecution as u result, of the reversal of the Schniitz judgment, which also nullifies the plea of guilty made by Kuef. j Far more serious to the prosecution,! it is generally believed, was the; Court's decision because of its appli-j (ability to Ruef than the setting aside! of the conviction of Schmitz, having i the effect, it is said, of practically de-j st roving the prosecution's hold upon the former political boss, who is re-; ganled as 'the one connecting link be-; tween the accused bribers and the Board of Supervisors. j When the case of Patrick Calhoun; came up before Superior Judge Law-j lor today District Attorney Langdon; was granted a continuance until Tucs-j dav when it. will be set for trial, prob-i ablv in February.

Why the Easque Cow Died. A university professor was lecturing on the Basque people and their customs. On the subject of their superstitions he told the following: "I was walking down the street in a little Basque village one day when a man came excitedly toward me. After glancing furtively about he whispered: 'Hush: She is dead." " 'Who?" I asked, wondering whether the man had lost a lovely daughter or a dutiful wife. "My cow: She died this mornin?, was the answer. 'And.' he added, 'it isn't hard to explain. The very first thing l this morning when I t lancet ut of the window was a wosiaa.

PROMINENT FARMER

A RFSCUEJil MIDAIR. PerTous Feat of Climbing Up a Skyscraper Frame.

A LIFE WAS IN THE BALANCE. Quick Wit and Strong Nerves at a Critical Moment in a Building Accident Why One Man Has a Warm Spot In His Heart For Our Sailors. "I was working on a steel framed skyscraper in oue of our large coast cities on a July day some years ago," paid the man who told of the exciting, almost tragic incident. "We had reached the eighth story, and, as the floors were somewhat more than ten feet apart, the top beams were well up in the air. "One forenoon I was inside au elevator well between the seventh and I eighth stories fastening the guide to the sheet steel wall. One of the other sides was also covered with steel, but the other two were open. "At 11:30 we reached a set of holes six feet above the seventh floor. To get at these I was obliged to sit upou a board supported by two tall wooden horses standing on planks laid across the shaft and forming a loose scaffolding. Through its openings 1 could look down clear to the basement, more than seventy feet below. Behind me, on the opposite side of the shaft, were lashed short perpendicular ladders, up and down which the men were constantly passing, for the elevator well was the mniu thoroughfare of the huge steel skeletou. "Noon struck. In less than a minute the ladders were covered with men climbing down. There were a lot of 12 o'clock fellows on the job who would rather leave a bolt half driven than work a second overtime. A gang light over me had just put a heavy steel header in place on the edge of the shaft. Two or three bolts had been driven Into one end, but the other was as yet unfastened. It would have taken only a few minutes at the most to make everything secure, but at the first stroke of the hour they dropped their tools and hurried to dinner. "A sudden strong hot wind swept through the frame, making the loose i planks rattle. Something grated above uiy head. I looked up and for a moment my blood stopped running. The gust uad struck the nicely balanced header with just enough force to make It totter. Slowly its loose end swung downward; then it lurched quickly and 6lid Into the well. "As it dropped it just cleared my bead. It sheared through the middle of the scaffolding as if the thick planks were rotten paper. Down it shot, gaining momentum with every foot, its lower end making the opposite wall cIeaQ of .add(,r(. "Smash! Bang! Grind! All was over in a few seconds. Dust rose, and when the turmoil had subsided there was I sitting on my board with seventy-live feet of empty air between me Bnd the debris at the bottom of the well. "The falling header had taken out the middle of the scaffolding, leaving only (he side planks on which the horses stood. The shock had moved ono of these planks two or three inches, so that a leg of the horse upon it just overhung the edge. A little more and the horse would topple into the shaft, taking its support from the board ou which I sat and hurling me down to a frightful death. "1 knew that I had been seen and my peril understood. The building was on n crowded business street, and the crash of the falling beam had attrnctrd the attention of hundreds of people, A great silent throng soon blocked all tratne. I could see their upturned faces nnd an occasional pointed finger. Their very stillness terrified me, for I knew that it was my mortal danger that held them spellbound. "But there was one in that throng who did something more than sympathize. He was a sailor on shore leave from a I'nited States battleship iu the harbor. RunniDg into a store, he obtained a hundred feet of new, stron rope, looped it about his shoulders and began to clamber toward me. As there were no ladders left, he was forced to swarm up the steel uprights. "At first, however, I did not see him, for close to me something happened that drove everything else from my mind. "A barely perceptible movement fastened my eyes on the leg of the horse. Painfully scrutinizing the spot where it rested. I saw that the plank was being pushed slowly but surely along by the lateral pressure of the other legs. I watched it, fascinated. It was only a question of a very short time when I should be hurled Into the pit. "Suddenly, three stories below. I saw a man climbing toward me. He was dressed in a blue suit and a flat cap edged with w hite letters. A coil of rope hung rouud his neck. T'p he came like a monkey, arms, legs, hands, feet, all doing their patt. Would he Ie in time to save me? He was a swarthy Spanish looking fellow, not vfry tall, with black mustache anil good natured face. Two stories below- me bis cap dropped off. revealing his thick curly hair. Several times he slipped back slightly, and I noticed the dull red smears on his clothing from the fre?bly painted beams. I watched him tensely. He glanced tip and caught my eye. " 'Cheer up. mate:' he exclaimed. 'I'll have this rope round you in a jiffy.' "Another slight movement of the pkitk. I groaned. The bluejacket heard me. and it stimulated him to do Jils utmost. It was a race between him and the retreating wood. On hU lithe muscles my life depended. "The leg uow hung on its support by the merest fraction of its width. It might slip off at any second. I no longer saw the sailor. The sound of his climbing and his heavy breathing came to me, but I did not dare to turn my head. "I -iosed my lids for an instant. When 1 opened them, the leg was entirely off the plank. The horse tipped, and the board under me tilted downward. "I gave one last despairing glance at the rcr! wall and at the dolly suspended by u chain. Could those small tmrtil imtea hxddgzi 1S2 b?uh1b mere 2

The tnougbt Uasid into my brain. There was no time for debating As the board dropped from under me 1 flung out my hands and twined my fingers round the chain with the grip of death. "Over the top of the wall, four feet altove, appeared the bluejacket's anxious faee. " Quii-k.:' I screamed. ""Catch hold." shouted lie. and down on my head dropped a loop of rope. As I cliitehl it with one hand a liuk la the chain pulled our. and the fifty pound bar liot down to the bottom of the well. Two minutes later 1 lay safe on the working platform aloe. Then every thing turned black. "When I taiiii' to myself I was lying on a beneh in the tool shanty. Mie of my friends was dou-injr me with coll water, while others were grouped round, but the sailor, to w hose coolness and dexterity I owed my life, was nowhere to be seen. He had fasten-! the rope under my arms and lowered me dow n insensible. Then he had descended, picked up his cap and disappeared. "I never see a bluejacket without thinking of the one who saved my life, anil that is why I have always had a warm place in mv heart for the sailors of the I'nited States navy." Youth's Companion.

ROSSINI'S WATCH. A Stranger Who Knew More About It Than the Composer. Itossini, the composer, possessed a magnificent watch that his king had presented to him. It was a repeater and also a musical watch, for it played the maestro's prayer from "Moses In Hgypt." Hut not until after he had owned It for six jears did he understand it fully. Rossini took a lioyish delight in showing it nnd making it play, and oue day he did so while iu a cafe. A stranger who sat near was attracted by the music, and just as Rossini w as going to put It back in his pocket he stepped up to him and said, "You have a very valuable watch there, sir, but I'll wager that you do not know all Its capabilities." Rossini, much surprised, said: "I have carried It now for six years iu honor of my king. It has never varied oue minute; it repeats the hour, quarter hour, tells the miuutes and the day of the month and plays, as you have just heard, the prayer from 'Moses. " "And yet I insist," said the stranger smilingly, "that you do not know your watch wholly. I'll wager anything you like your watch against lo.ooo francs!" "Oh. well, if you have 10,000 francs too many I'll take the lrt." cried Rossini. "Hut now give me the proof of your assertion." "Very well. The watch plays another piece of yours, master, and contains your portrait besides." Speechless, Rossini saw that when the stranger touched a spring a lid flew back, disclosing his portrait, while at the same time it played "li Tauti Palpiti," from "Tancred." ";ood gracious," he exclaimed, looklug at his lost watch, "it is true! You have won the wager. But how could I know?" The stranger laughed heartily and handed him back his treasure, saying: "I am the maker of this watch, Michel Plivee. The wager was made in fun, but I am delighted that you, the great maestro, take such pleasure iu my w ork." Wiles of Animals. The panther on the plains ot Pata gonia gets as near a herd of guanacos as it can, then lies down behind a bush on its back. It puts oue paw up in the air, then another, then the third and fourth and after a bit all four at once. That seems curious to the guanacos, and they come close to investigate. I"p jumps the panther aud lights ou the nearest one's back and breaks its neck. A fox up iu Nova Scotia comes down to the bay of Fundy and goes jumping aloug the beach a couple of rods and back again, rising on its hind legs at each about face ami waving its big tail in the air. The little rlock of four or five Canada geese out ou the water begin to wonder what can be the matter with the fox. They swim up into the shallow water to Investigate, wheu in dashes the fox aud grabs one by the neck. The meu have taken advantage of this Irick and have trained dogs to do as the fox does. For lack of a dog men themselves have ambled about on their hands and knees to attract the birds. A Calendar. To the modern world a calendar is merely a harmless necessary reminder j of weeks and days to be hung up ou New Y'ear's day and consulted in dat- ! ing letters throughout the year. It has uo such mournful sound as "ealeii-i darium" had for the ancient Romans. 1 The original calendar of their times ' was the money lender's account book, 1 so called because interest was due i from the debtor on the calends, or first ' day of each month.

Finally the perplexed princess of the plains put an end to perplexuy aud suspene by vetting for her eager lovers a task. This task was truly a proof of bravery and a test of loe. lien a certain day the young men were to m uni their ponies and. riding at full tilt to the top of a high bluff, leap to the plains below, he who survived the terrible leap of many hundred feet to be given to the princess in marriage. At this point a brief description of the bluff, which Is itself a part of this quaint legend, will net come amis?". This particular peak of the Wichita mountains is known in redskin annals as Medicine bluff, from the fact that the mysterious medicine men were wont to meet upon its summit and there concoct" their potent charms, making medicine and hatching evil midnight plots upou the haunted mountain top, for the bluff itself bore an unsavory reputation among the redskins. It is of an exceedingly peculiar formation, having the appearance of being out cleanly in two from apex to base, the Kiowas believing that the missing half was spirited awny iu the night by the emissaries of the evil one. The legend further states that iip.n the day set for the task, the daj- when half a score of foolish young braves were to ride to their death at the bidding of a mere s'luaw so said the old men of the tribe contemptuously - the whole tribe, with many from t he neighboring tribes, gathered ot the foot of Medicine bluff to await the outcome. "They come: See, Helo, the brave, leads'." cried au old medicine mau. pointing across the prairies. Proudly the young braves came on. the morning sunlight flashing back from their glittering, snow white robes of dressed deerskiu adorned with myriads of brilliantly colored glass Ih-ihIs. elk teeth and sweeping deerskin fringe. Ilagle plumes topped all this barbaric splendor, trhiling out far lxdiind in the brisk prairie breeze. A sigh of mingled admiration and sorrow went up from the multitude as the young braves, the flower of the tribe, began to mount the menacing bluff. Swiftly the sturdy little ponies took the trail upward, the watchers below waiting spellbound for the crucial moment. The princess. Laughing Moonbeam, standiug beside tin tall old warrior chieftain, looked calmly, proudly upwnrd. her glance resting but a moment upon the cheering crowd. "See, only Helo ami Ielos have reached the top!" some one shouted excitedly. Too tru. the other youths, faint hearted, perhaps, or their reason returning in the face of inch a foolhardy casting away of human and brute life, were slowly coming down the rugged mountain trail, leaving the two determined suitors poised on the brink of the bluff. A moment horses and riders stood outlined against the vivid blue like two great uncouth birds poised for flight. The shuddering multitude below turned away sickened, and women shrieked as the brave little pvnies took the leap. Horses find riders turned in the air, then crashed with mighty shook upon the cruel atones at the foot of the bluff, a sight that made strong men weep and curse and cry aloud at the pity of it all. The senseless form of Laughing Moonbeam liushandless for all time, for the happy hunting grounds claimed the spirits of her dead loverswas borne from the scene in the arms of the weeping old warrior chief. The squaws, with bared breasts, gathered about the dead bodies and commenced to wail the death dirge of the Kiowas, slashing their naked breasts and arms the while with sharp hunting knivei.

Where the Confederate Force Lest ijreat Opportunity. tlrant determined to cross the James lit Wilcox's LanditiK. ten miles Iwdovv 'ity Point ami entirely out of Ia-c'm observation, nun to move thence directly upon Petersburg with his whole arm.v. He would thus pass in rear of Rtitler and attack the extreme rls;ht flank of the Confederate line, whieb It was certain would now 1 held by only a small force. It iu vol veil the performance of a feat in transiKrta tion which bud never leeu equaled and might well te considered Impossible without days of delay.

Instead of "suere !: here." ;rant h-re escaped a, second defeat more bloody ami naor overwhelming than any preceding. Thus the last and perhaps the best chance of Confederate succeia were not lost in the repnle r.f Gettysburg nor In any combat of arms. They were loat during three days of lying in camp, be- ; heving that Grant was hemmed la by ; the broad part of the Jameg below City Point and bad nowher to g tnt ' to come and attack in.
