FINANCIAL LIFE HOT HER REALM
Gentlewoman Will Find Trouble to Maintain Gentility In Money Struggle.
MANY( ENTANGLEMENTS.
WOMAN, WHOSE FINANCIAL VENTURES HAVE RESULTED DISASTROUSLY SAYS WOMAN'S 8PHETTE IS AT HER HOME.
New York, Aug. 22. "There is no J place for an American gentlewoman j In the financial life of this country. ! The fact she is a gentlewoman mill-
tates against ner. My aavice 10 an would-be women financiers is plainly and emphatically this: Keep away from the lure of financial enterprises. Don't hope that you can succeed. It Is impossible." This is the advice of a woman whose position and experience qualify her to speak with authority. She is Mrs. Josephine Dilks Robinson, whose vast business ventures in connection with the Twenty-first Street Building and Construction Company have resulted so unfortunately that she declares she has abandoned the world of finance forever. The financial entanglements due to this venture were brought to light in supplementary proceedings when John C. Weir, of the brokerage firm of Weir Bros., sued to recover a loan of $350. "It is my first business enterprise and it shall be my last," declared Mrs. Robinson. "In it I have sunk a small fortune all belonging to myself and my family. This I wish to make perfectly clear. I did not borrow from others in order to"embark in this enterprise It is all a personal matter, and It is I, personally, who suffers
f from, the losses. "Nn woman no eentlewoman. at
least is fitted to cope with the methi ods of the modern financier. She is I no .match for those who, so to speak, ' understand the game. She can not .'(match her wits with theirs she can not, surely, handle them with their ' own weapons. If she should try to do that why, she simply would not be a gentlewoman, don't you see?"

NEW USE Fi
FOR CHEWING GUM feirl Choked Black Snake, Then Killed It.
, Franklin, Pa., Aug. 22. Miss Beat
rice Irvin, aged 12 years, of Gospel
IHollow, found a monster blacksnake
In a hen's nest today. Having heard ,that snakes could be discomfited by feeding them chewing gum, the child
put a piece on the end of a stick and thrust It toward the snake. His snake ship made a lunge and got the gum. Owing to the fact that the snake's
I fangs curve backward the gum could inot be dislodged and the reotile was
soon in paroxyms and in danger of i choking to death. While the snake
was thus writhing Beatrice secured a
.garden rake and killed the reptile. AMERICA NOT AFFECTED. Washington. Aug. 22. Reports re-
i reived from consuls at the leading
.ports or foreign countries indicate Sthat while the tobacco industry is progressing abroad it has not advanced
.sufficiently to affect the American trade to any great extent.
NMATES OVERFED
Prisoners in Jail Actually Complain About Their Too Good Food.
NO MORE HOPE REMAINS.
Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 22. Inmates of the Perry county Jail are being overfed and are actually complaining about it. This unusual state of affairs was discovered by Bromley Wharton,
general agent of the state board of
charities, who inspected the new Bloomfield institution. Mr. Wharton had heard of some
complaints about the food, but sup
posed, of course, it was the usual one
of not enough to eat. Then when ho assembled the prisoners he heard this
from the spokesman:
"Mister, we are being overfed. The
sheriffs wife doesn't take into ac
count the fact that we are cooped up here without a chance to hustle
around and get "exercise, and yet she
feeds us on pie and cake and a lot of
rich things calculated to make us all grouchy with dyspepsia. Please make her stop." "I certainly shall try," replied Mr. Wharton.

Baltimore, Aug. 22. The Manufacturers' Record has compiled some very interesting figures concerning the lum
ber interests of the country, especial
ly of the South, from which it appears that lumber was cut in the South in
1907 to the extent of 19,803,983,000 feet or 18.4 per cent. In the rest of
the country the 1907 cut was 20,952,-
171,000 feet ,a decrease under the cut of 1906 of 307,184,000, or 1.4 per cent.
There was this decrease in the rest of
the country, in spite of the fact that the rest of the country cut 7,430,460,-
OOO feet of lumber not cut in the south, viz.: Douglas ' fir, 4,748,872,000;
western pine, 1,526,116,000; redwood,
569,450,000; larch, 211,076.000; white fir, 146,508,000; sugar pine, 115,005,-
000, and tamarack, 113, 433,000. In
1907 the South cut 47.9 per cent of the
total 40,256,154,000 cut in the whole country.
What appears to be an accurate ta
ble, showing the cut by states in 1906 and 1907, gives fourteen southern
states a product last year of nearly 20,000.000,000 feet, which was about half the cut of the United States, and an increase over 1900 of a little more
than 3,000,000,000 feet.
There was an increase of produc
tion in all the Southern states except Florida and Maryland. Of the total cut in the country, yellow pine amounted to 13,215,185,000 feet, or 32.8 per cent, and of the yellow pine the South cut 12,903,628.000 feet, or 97.9 per cent. The South cut, too, 97.1 per cent, or 66,894,000, of the total 68,842,000 feet of eupelo; 96.1 per cent, or 782.592,000 of the 757.639.000 feet of cypress; 86.2 per cent or 746,-
682,000 of the 865,536.000 feet of pop
lar: 79.2 per cent, or 545,792 ,000 of the 689,200,000 feet of red gum; 78.8 per
cent or 229,037,000 of the 290.574.000
feet of cottonwood; 63 per cent, or 2.-
345,289,000, of the 3,718,760,000 feet of
oak; 5S.1 per cent, or 118,224,000, of the 203.211,000 feet of hickory, and
56.4 per cent, or 368.740,000 of the
653,239,000 feet of chestnut.
All Kinds of Timber. Every Southern state cut yellow pine oak. red gum, cottonwood, ash and hickory. Poplar was cut in every one except Texas, cypress in every one except West Virginia and elm in every one except Florida.

JUMP INTO LAKE OR ELSE REFORM
Such instruction Was Given Giri by Judge of Chicago Court.
MAY ACCEPT HIS ADVICE.
ATTITUDE OF JUDGE CAUSED SENSATION IN COURT ROOMMIGHT HE BE HELD LIABLE IN SUICIDE CA8E?
Chicago. Aug. 22. "If you can't lead a decent, respectable life, you'd better jump into the lake." This was the advice handed down from the municipal bench by Judge Judson Going to Bertha Lazellt, a young woman who had been arrested when a West Side house was raided. With her at the time were George and Agnes McDonald, Edward Jennings and James Artery. It was charged that the Lazelle girl had been drinking with McDonald and his wife and the two men. All were playing cards when the police arrested them. In addition to his advice to the girl
to commit suicide, Judge Going fined
her $25. She was unable to pay the fine and wept bitterly as she was led to a cell. "If I feel the way I do now when I come out of the workhouse,' she said, "I shall probably take the Judge's advice and jump into the lake."
The attitude of the Judge caused a sensation in the court room, and the question immediately arose over the city as to whet course the coroner should pursue in the event the girl accepted the court's dictum and ended her life. When her case was first considered Judge Going assessed a fine of $5. Pondering a moment, he instructed the clerk to make the fine $25 instead and then delivered the unusual talk.

PRISONER
Believed He Will Try to Locate $16,000 in Gold Dust He Stole.
HIS HAUL WAS LARGE.
Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 22. Robert E. Miller was released from the federal penitentiary on McNeill's island a day or two ago and left at once. He was followed by Pinkerton detectives who believe Miller will attempt to recover $16,000 in gold dust stolen from Alaska mails which he is believed to have hidden somewhere. Miller was freight clerk on an Alaska steameship and stole, it is aleged, large amounts of gold dust in transit to Puget Sound. It was charged that he emptied one box cf gold dust and substituted shot Another member of the crew stole the same box and was amazed to discover that it had already been robbed. The last thief left the box open in. a conspicuous place and the robbery was discovered before the ship reached port. The gold dust was consigned to a Seattle bank and was valued at $36,000. Miller was arrested and detectives recovered $20,000 worth of dust which was hidden under a wharf at Fairbanks.

FORM WATER Believed to be Second Largest in Size.
Crawfordsville, Ind., Aug. 22. What is believed to be the next largest fresh-water pearl ever discovered, has just been found in the waters of Sugar creek by Peter Coffmon near Thorntown, northeast of Crawfordsville. The pearl weighs fifty-seven grains. The largest freshwater pearl weighed sixty grains and was on exhibition at St Louis during the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Mr. Coff-
man has sent the pearl to New York city experts to have its value deter
mined.
BEEF WENT UP. It Was Only One Cow and Prices Remain Same.
Woodston, Pa., Aug. 22. Beef went uq at Woodston again. With her bead down and tail up a valuable cow belonging to Blackwood E. Crispin,

track.
The engineer saw the determination of the cow to fight and shut off steam but before the train could be stopped the cow was toscsed fifteen feet high
In the air and instantly killed.

BEES STOPPED CARS
Delayed AH Traffic on Rochester Line and Chased Passengers.
THE DOCTORS WERE BUSY.
Canadaigua, N. Y., Aug. 22. The busy bee was at work, and when a
swarm of honey makers gathered on a trolley wire of the Rochester & Eastern for over an hour traffic on the
line was held up and the broad Main
street of Canandaigua blocked.
The swarm was so large that it was
impossible to see across the street at times. They drove a gang of "haven't workers" away, emptied two trolley
cars of their passengers and chased three touring automobiles for three blocks. Near by doctors were busy all the afternoon taking care of persons
who were stung.
