pan had been sent the sharpest letter ever sent a foreign nation. It was a personal message from the president to the people of California. When Secretary Loeb was first asked regarding the Congressman's speech he said he had no personal knowledge of the matter. Later, before the president, he said there would be an official statement on the Japanese matter today. . President Roosevelt and Kermlt. who will accompany him on a li6n and elephant hunt next spring, passed Sunday afternoon reading aloud to each other from one of Paul du Chaillus's African exploration stories. They occupied steamer chairs placed under a large tree and appeared absorbed in their reading.

These people, he said, strike a blow at all that is highest, noblest ana best. At the whole social fabric, in fact. He added "We are living in an age of wide-spread but "often very superficial culture, manyt readers of modern fiction regarding themselves as scientists and philosophers and as possessing supe rior powers of acumen. The greatest minds are those who recognize their dependence upon a Higher Power; upon something more durable than the shifting quicksands of life." Mr. Golloday concluded by appealing to the congregation to observe the right kind of worship and to carry the light of the christian religion Into their homes and to their firesides. He urged upon the members their respon sibility in maintaining their new church and asked all within his hear ine to recognize the significance of church observance. When the Rev. Mr. Golloday had concluded his eloquent, earnest address, more than one realized as never before, the great work the church ac complishes in the cause of humanity, Following a hymn and a solo by T. W. Druley, the Rev. H. Wickemeyer, of Michigan City, formerly pastor of the St. John's Lutheran church" in this city, made an address in German. The Rev. Beck then read a short history of the Trinity church, which was founded in July, 1802, at the time of a meeting of the interstate synod. The natter was put into the hands of a committee at that time and a little later a purchase was made of the ground upon which, the present church structure stands. The Rev. Beck was called to take charge and since that time the membership has grown from forty to two hundred and seventy, necessitating a much larger building. Evening Services. Fully as many people as attended the dedicatory services in the afternoon were present In the evening to hear a program of beautiful music and to listen to the masterful address of Prof. E. Pfeiffer, of Capitol University, the Lutheran college at Columbus O. Dr. Pfeiffer is an Instructor in both the seminary and collegiate departments of the University and is a scholarly leader of the church. Miss Pearl Hasecoster sang, "I hear the Voice of Jesus," her sweet soprano voice sounding clear and beautiful through the church. ,The visiting clergymen were: Rev. R. E. Golloday, of Columbus, Ohio, Rev. H. Wickemeyer, of Michigan City, Ind., Rev. G. Weber, of Eapn, Rev. S. Schillinger, of West Alexandria and Rev.

TAFT TRAIN HAS NARROW ESCAPE

FROM BAD WRECK (Continued From Page One.j Springs, Va., for three or four weeks, beginning early in July. It will be necessary for him, too, to be in Cincinnati about July 20 to receive the formal notification of his nomination for the presidency. Plans have been practically effected by which, after Sept. 1, Secretary Taft will be continuously in Cincinnati. That Chairmanship. Secretary Taft yesterday received telegrams from important party leaders throughout the country urging him not to be hasty in deciding the chairmanship question. Compliments Hitchcock. Secretary Taft spoke in the highest terms of the services which Mr. Hitchcock has rendered him and of his keen appreciation of the sacrifices which his manager had made, not only for him, but for the republican party. Respecting the national chairmanship, Secretary Taft said merely that it had been determined to postpone action until those most interested could have an opportunity to obtain a conscensus of the opinion of republican leaders throughout the country. Y.!r"lABLES OF STONE. A CurlOB Calculation From Talmud and tbe Bible. Did you ever figure ou the probable size and immense strength of Moses, basing your calculations on the dimensions of the tables of stone, as given by the Talmudic writers? In the Talmud (folio 38, column 8) it is said that the tables of stone upon which the commandments were writtea were six ells long, six ells broad and three ells thick. In the Bible, Exodus xxxli, 35, we are told that "Moses went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand." "Hand," mind you, not hands, though It must be admitted that it would have taken a strong pair of hands to perform the task of carrying them, even on the level. Now, we will put the Talmudic and the Biblical accounts together and apply the mathematical rule. The Hebrew ell or cubit was, at Its least estimate, a measure of eighteen Inches, which would hare made each of the tables a stone block nine feet long, nine feet wide and four and one-half feet thick. If common stone weighed as much to the square foot then as it does now the tables would tip the beam at about twenty-eight tons! Was Moses one of the giants of those days or has some one made a mistake in calculations or in the statement of supposed facts? Exchange. SARDINES. Tli y They Are Cooked and Pre pared For Market. Sardines are caught In nets, and after being well washed the heads are cut oft and the fish are sprinkled lightly with salt. After lying for a few hours they are placed on grids in rows almost perpendicular. The frames are then placed in pans containing boiling olive oil. The oil is changed as soon as it becomes too black and dirty for con tinuing the cooking process. As soon as the fish are considered sufficiently cooked, they are withdrawn from the pans of oil and the grids are placed on the tables covered with zinc, the surface of the table inclining to ward a groove in the center. The oil is thus carried to a vessel prepared to receive it. Round the table stand the women whose business it is to pack the fish closely and uniformly In boxes. The boxes being full, the fish are covered with fresh oil and the lids are then soldered down. Thus hermetically sealed they are placed in iron baskets and Immersed In boiling water. The smaller boxes are thus boiled for half an hour and the larger ones somewhat longer, In proportion to size of box. The fish are then ready for the market. Fearson's Weekly. Tbe AVearlnjc of Hat. More or less of a modern habit Is the constant wearing of hats. Even as late as 1759 Horace Walpole mentions as a matter of course that he never wears a hat "Remember," he says, writing to a friend notoriously careless about his dress, who was expected home from Holland, "everybody that comes from abroad Is supposed to come from France, and whatever they wear at their first reappearance Immediately grows the fashion. Now if, as is very likely, you should through inadvertence change hats with the master of a Dutch smack in a week's time we shall all be equipped like Dutch skippers. You see, I speak very disinterestedly, for, as I never wear a hat myself, it is indifferent to me what sort of a hat I don't wear." Danareroua. ' A contributor to the "Transactions of the Devonshire association" says that when he came to a certain place as vicar he asked whether there were any sick to be visited. "Oh, no, sir!"- was the answer. "Nobody is ever ill in Berrynarbor. There is an old man, to be sure, over ninety, who has taken lately to his bed, but there hain't much the matter with him that I know cf." "I thought to myself," added the vicar, "of the story of the Scotchman who said to his doctor: " 'Ye pu' a vara long face, doctor. D'ye think I'm dangerously ill? Na. na,' was the reply. I don't think ye're dangerously ill, but I think ye're dangerously old.' " The MUalna- Key. One telegraph operator wa3 telling another of a quarrel he had had with another at the other end of a wire. "I gave him fits over the wire for about two minutes." "What did he say?" "Did not give him a chance to say anything. I just opened the key and he could not come back at me." "Goodness," put in a bystander, "wouldn't it be fine If we could work a scheme like that in matrimony? Just open the key and that would be the end of it, New.. York; Tribune,. .

A NICE ASSORTMENT Judge Converse Had Varied Cases to Deal With This Morning, v

THE USUAL MONDAY SCENE Police court presented tbe customary Monday morning appearance when Judge Converse mounted the bench to day and rapped for order. There was one of those who faced the court, who presented an appearance somewhat dif ferent from the customary, however. He was William Horner. About both his eyes were circles of blue blood. They were not marks of aristocracy, but represented impressions made there bv the fists of Harry Jones. which were working ovetime Saturday night. The two engaged in a fight in the court house yard Saturday night and both were arrested. Horner plead not guilty to the charge of assault and battery. Jones plead guilty and stated he believed he was justi fied in his action. In order that witnesses might be subpoenaed, the cases were continued until tomorrow. Levi Snediker, a driver for Mather Brothers, and Frank Carter, colored, a barber, fell off the water wagon Saturday. The atmosphere was real warm and the beer and other booze real cool. Each slipped and the policemen found them. Carter was picked up early in the afternoon at the corner of Main and Tenth streets and Snediker fell in the net some time later. Both were assessed $1 and costs. B. J. Stevens, a suspect, was arrested last night and held for the superintendent. Bailey asked Stevens to divulge his history, and everything not being satisfactory, the man was given his liberty with pointed instructions to leave the city. Ad Miller, erstwhile bartender at the Langdon saloon at East Germantown, drew heavy. He was fined $ and costs. Langdon was in jail, charged with violating the liquor laws and Miller was in charge of the booze emporium. He set 'em up to himself too frequently and took the count. He was arrested on complaint. WASHINGTON AS A FIREMAN lie Waa a Member of the FrlendbJjp Fire Company. George Washington was a member of the Friendship Fire company, organized in 1774 in his home, Alexandria. At first the company consisted of citizens who, out of "mutual friendship," agreed to carry to every fire "two leathern buckets and one great bag of oznaburg or wider linnen Washington was made an honorary member, and when he" went as a dele gate to the congress of 1774 at Philadelphia he examined the fire engines in use there. On his return to Phila delphia to the Continental congress in 1775 he bought from a man named Gibbs a small fourth class engine for the sum of S0 10s., and just before he set out for Boston Heights to be come commander in chief he dispatched this little engine to the Friendship company. During his younger days he always attended fires in Alexandria and helped to extinguish them. In the last year of his life a fire occurred near the market. He was riding down King street at the time, followed by his servant, who was also on horseback. Washington saw that the Friendship engine was insufficiently manned, and. riding up to a group of well dressed gentlemen standing near the scene of action, he called out authoritatively: "Why are you idle there, gentlemen? It is your business to lead in these matters." After which he leaped off his horse, and, seizing the brakes, was followed by a crowd that gave the engine such a shaking up as it had not had for many a day. WOMAN AND THE LAW. Bow Conditions Have Changed In the Last Half Centary. Truly the position of women before the law has suffered mighty changes Fifty or sixty years ago the twain were Indeed one, and that one the husband He could collect all debts, such as wages that might be due her though Incidentally, he was liable for all she owed. She could not make a will of her real estate, nor of her personal property, without his permission, and he was entitled to the Income from her lands. He could lock her up in his house and keep her there. Whether he could Inflict chastisement was a moot point, though a judge of the North Carolina supreme court held in 1866 that be possessed this power, provided he used "a stick as large as his finger, but no larger than his thumb." Over the children the husband had absolute control, and eoukl even appoint a guardian by will who could take them away from the mother. They were to be brought up in the father's religion, without any consideration for her feelings. In fact, it was only about 18S6 that the supreme court of judicature in England directed that the sons and daughters of the deceased nawab of Bengal by an English wife be reared as Mohammedans. Everybody's Magazine. Whims of Ibsen. Like many another man great In his writings, Henrik Ibsen was not without his foibles. Scorning company as he professed to do and declaring always for solitude, he nevertheless delighted to be dined, and to invite him to a banquet In his own especial honor was to give the great man unalloyed pleasure. In his latter days, too, he developed a passion for decorations, of which he received a large number from his own and foreign monarchs. and on public occasions he would wear all his Insignia as probably the most decorated author In the world. It was on public occasions that Ibsen would carry a small mirror and comb in the crown of his hat, and "coram populo" would proceed to arrange hia bushy bair andvWhikarfc, ,

NEW AUTO CONCERN HAS MILLION CAPITAL Will Build 12,500 Cars Before Next September.

Detroit, June 22. A new $1,000,000 automobile concern,, to be known as the Everitt-Metzger-Flanders Co., of Detroit, has been formed by the mer ger of two automobile concerns. The company intends to build 12,500 cars before the first of next September. A LOBSTER'S LEGS. The Two Front Ones Are Different From the Other Kia-ht. A lobster's legs, all told, are ten in number, but only eight of these are largely used for walking. The front pair, or big claws, have been specialized, as In the crab and most others of the higher crustaceans, into prehensile organs for catching and crushing the prey. Their use is obvious. Lobsters feed largely off mollusks of various sorts and other hard shelled marine animals. In order to be able to break or crush the shells of these and so to get at the softer flesh within they have acquired such large and very muscular nippers or pinchers. That is not all, however. Not only have the two front legs been differentiated and specialized from the eight others in this manner, but also, by a rare exception to the symmetry of the body, the right claw has been specialized from the left, each being intended to perform a distinct function. One Is a scissors, the other Is a mill; one is a cutter, the other Is a cracker. As a rule, the right claw Is the slenderer and longer. It has toothlike projections or serrated edges on its nipping faces, and it Is rather adapted for biting and severing than for crushing or grinding. The left claw, on the other hand, is usually thicker, heavier and rounder. Its muscles are more powerful, and in place of sharp teeth it has blunt tubercles, or hammers, of different sizes. It acts, in fact, more like a nutcracker than like teeth or a saw. It Is a smashing organ. Nevertheless you will find It Interesting to observe, by noting the lobsters served to you at table, that this differentiation has hardly as yet become quite constant, for sometimes it Is the right claw that displays the hammerlike nutcracker type and the left that acts as nipper and biter, while sometimes no difference occurs at all, both claws alike being sharp toothed or blunt hammered In the same specimen. THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. Where No White Man Mar Land Unless He Has a Permit. Unalaska resembles other northern stations, having warehouses, docks, the inevitable Greek church and a score of wooden cabins. Whalers leave here for the arctic regions. Dutch Harbor is a station for our revenue fleet. There is much coming and going of ships of all nations. There is quite a formidable fleet, and only two ships out of twelve carry colors of the same country. Just before entering the harbor one notices a detached rock high against the side of the cliff. It bears a striking resemblance to a Russian prie6t in full robes. Touched by the sunset light, he seems to stand blessing the harbor. Sailing north out into Bering sea, one looks back at the desolate, silent, treeless Islands, which seem to wall the edge of the world. Hundreds of miles west they run toward Vladivostok. Two hundred and forty miles north of Unalaska are the rribilof Islands, not large, but the greatest seal Islands in the world. There are many fur seals around the shores of Bering sea and the Aleutian islands, but the great mass of them are bred on the Prlbllof group. No white man is permitted to land on these breeding grounds without a permit signed by the secretary of the treasury of the United States. Outdoor Life. The Pace of the Camel. As a matter of fact, and In spite of Its haTing carried Mohammed in four leaps from Jerusalem to Mecca, seven miles an hour is the camel's limit, nor can It maintain this rate over two hours. Its usual speed is five miles an hour a slow pace, beyond which It Is dangerous to urge it, lest, as Asiatics say, it might break its heart and die literally on the spot. When a camel 13 pressed beyond this speed and is spent it kneels down, and not all the wolves in Asia will make it budge again. The camel remains where it kneels, and where it kneels it dies. A fire under its nose is useless. Times of India. He Had Hi Wish. Carl Schurz had no consideration for hypocrites or pretenders. Upon literary pretenders he was particularly severe. At a dinner in New York one night a man of wealth who had written a volume of poems sneered at politics. "I wouldn't give a picayune," he said, "for a senatorship or a cabinet office. To be even president wouldn't tempt me. I. for my part, would rather be known any day as a third rate poet than a first rate statesman." "Well, aren't you?" said Mr. Schurz. Minerals In Water. Lead or zinc ore can be so finely pulverized that a tablespoonful may be mixed in a bucket of clear water without being visible to the naked eye. When thus powdered the particles are so minute that Jt often takes half an hour for them to settle to the bottom of a vessel full of water. This fact makes it evident that a stream may carry large quantities of minerals rich in metals. ?teatly Tnrned. "Now, Pat" said a magistrate to an old offender, "what brought you here again?"

110 DOUBLE TRACK Not Probable Pennsy Will Build From Columbus to Indianapolis.

REASONS ARE GIVEN. It has been reported about the city that the Pennsylvania railroad was planning to construct a double track system between Richmond and Bradford, O., and that the improvement would be made In a short time. Local railroad men deny all knowledge of this plan. This morning, Guy Scott, engineer of maintenance of way, Richmond division, stated that he did not think that there was any truth in the report. He said that the company had just completed the construction of a double track system between Columbus and Bradford, with the exception of a small strip through Piqua. The double track system through Piqua will necessitate the raising of the tracks and the improvement will be a most costly one. Because of the expense the company will go to in placing a double track system through Piqua, it is not thought by local railroad men that the company contemplates increasing Its construction expenses on the Indianapolis division by placing double tracks from Bradford to Richmond. Mr. Scott states that the Indianapolis division between Bradford and Columbus is about the most important section of the Southwest system as it is also used by the Chicago division. It was absolutely necessary to make that section of the road a double track system, but there is no imperative demand for a double track from Bradford to Richmond, or from Richmond to Indianapolis. BAD CROP YEARS. When Btrda and Aatmala Do Mate at the Matins Season. "When birds and animals do Not not mate at the mating season, it Is a sign that a bad year is coming," said a farmer. "Quails,, gophers, rabbits and squirrels all refuse to mate in certain years. These years afterward turn out to be bad ones. The quails are particularly weather wise. By instinct the little wild creatures know that for lack of rain or for some other reason there is to be a grass famine and a seed famine, and, instead of pairing off and mating and setting up housekeeping in little families of two, they remain unmated in the large bands In which they have flown all winter, living, as it were, a kind of apartment house life. That year inevitably turns out a bad one, though the bachelor and spinster quails, with a good deal of picking and scratching, manage to get enough to eat. But to feed families of little ones in 6uch a famine year would be impossible. "In California the squirrels in a fam ine year not only do not mate; they do not even live. They become dormant. As by a miracle, they remain dormant until a season of plenty comes with the next winter's rains." Exchange. For Her Welfare. Mrs. Goodheart had made up her mind that most of the so called charity of the present day was not, strictly speaking, charity at all. Whoever gave, she had concluded, did so for the pleasant sensation of seeing his or her name figure on subscription lists, and she did not agree with this ostentation "Here, my good man," she said one day last week to a man who had beg ged alms of her, "here is a threepenny piece, and please to understand that I do not give this because I hope to be rewarded for my charity some day. but because it gives me pleasure to do so." The burly beggar looked dubiously at the tiny silver coin. "Look 'ere, mum," he said. "In this 'ere wicked world we don't orften get the chance to enjoy ourselves. Why not make it a shillin' an' 'ave a real good time?" London TIt-Blts. Important Correction. Under the terror In France people learned to be excessively cautious In all they said and still more cautions In what they wrote. An old letter is said to be in exist ence of the revolutionary period In which the author had at first written to a friend, "I write under the reign of a great emotion." Then, apparently reflecting that It was dangerous to speak of "reigns" at such an epoch, be amended the sen tence thus: "I write under the republic or a great emotion." Forethona-ht. "That fellow Mulkley you were engaged toAt one time may have some of your old love letters, may he not?" asked the husband. "And aren't you afraid he might be cad enough to" "Not a bit," replied the wife dec! sively. "He knows I've got a trunkful of his love letters to reciprocate if be ever does." Judge.

GRAYS, THE WINNER New Madison, 0., Team Given The Short End of 7 to 1 Score.

WAS INTERESTING MATCH. Cambridge City. Ind.. Juna 22. It was art interesting but a one sided session of base ball that more than six hundred fans witnessed at Capitol hill park yesterday afternoon. It was easy for the local'Grays to hand the New Madison, O., lads the short end of a 7 to 1 score. The home boys got in the game early and chalked the first tally in the initial frame. A series of Texas leaguers in the fourth by Knapp, Ridge and Connor allowed them to add another run, Knapp scoring on Connor's hit. The sixth was the next eventful frame in a scoring way as two more of the Grays were allowed to romp home. Gilbert safe, Knapp sacrificed Gilbert to second. Ridge out. Weaver grounded safe, Gilbert scoring, Connor drove one to left for two sacks scoring Weaver. In the eighth P. Slarp supplanted P. Roberts on the visitors mound, notwithstandng that Roberts pitched a good game. and allowed three more of the Grays to cross the rubber, with two men down. Weaver sent the pill to left for two bags, Connor hit by ball, Boyd drove to center scoring Weaver, Connor to third, Caldwell placed a safe one In center scoring Connor and Boyd. Reeves fanned and retired the side. It was in the third session that the visitors pushed their only run across the pan and that on a wild throw of Wise in an endeavor to catch Harter stealing third. But for this wild heave the Ohio bunch would have been scoreless. On account of the wet condition of the diamond it was necessary to call off the preliminary game between the T.ittlo niante and (ha Vow T lhnn bunch. Score by innings: Grays 1 0010203 x 7 N.

The supply of soft crabs for market is obtained by catching bard crabs and keeping them until they shed their shells. For this purpose large rectangular floats, made of laths and planking, are employed, and three or four times every day the stock on hand is carefully inspected, all tbe soft crabs being picked out and packed without delay. They are put Into shallow boxes of moist seaweed, from ten to thirty-five dozen In a box. according to the size of tbe animals. When tbe packing is done carefully the occupsnts may be kept alive from sixty to seventy hours after leaving the water. Crabs have been shipped all tbe way from the Chesapeake to Canada, arriving at their destination in good condition. In summer, of course. Ice la used. But where soft crabs are concerned It is necessary that they shall reach the market quickly, because their new shells harden with great rapidity.
