Valet Had Made Regular Practice of Robbing Everyone He Worked For.

WAS FINALLY CAPTURED

Paris, Aug. 7. Some weeks ago a well known Paris lawyer, M. Roger Bertin, engaged a valet called Pierre Branens. The man had excellent references, all of which have since proved to be forgeries. A few days after his engagement the valet stole a brooch worth $1,000 belonging to Madame Bertin and 12 in money. He was arrested and inquiries have shown that he has been robbing all his masters regularly for the last seven years. With the proceeds of his robberies he .has gone in for racing, and . he is the owner of a mare which he bought at Tattersall's last November, and which has won several races. He has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

WEDDING FEES BUY SQUIRE MACHINE "Cupid's Car" Result of Marriage Knots. Cleveland, O., Aug. 7. "Squire Bill Brown has a new automobile. He calls it "Cupid s Car." Its cost, he says, represents eight hundred marriages at $2 per, performed by him in a year and a half. Brown is the champion marrying 'Squire. The automobile's cost is just a trifle of the total of $2 slipped him by blushing bridegrooms since he has been a justice. There's something about Brown's inner office, with its low burning gas. which young people like. They go there two, three and as many as six or eight couples a day, to have "Squire Bill tie the knot.

temporary portion, but even the latter will have a beauty of its own. The new part has been, formed by filling up the great tower arches with heavy walls. They are built of concrete reinforced with iron bars, and are about a foot thick. Temporary as they are and destined to come down just as soon as the money is forthcoming to build the transepts and navo, they have been constructed with care that fits them to stand almost as long as the granite arches themselves.

Siamese Belief. One cf the strangest beliefs of the Siamese is that they must under nt circumstances take life, and the Buddhist priest goes so far as to strain Insects out of his water not because he thinks them nasty, bat ; because it would be wrong to kill them. Another is not to bathe after dark lest he should crush Insects while drying himself. Yet be dees not mind eating meat which others have killed, and he has no objection to taking fish out of the sea and leaving them to die'. Londoo Standard,

New York, Aug. 7. By Christmas it Is hoped that New York will have open for worship on Morningside Heights a church which in dignity and capacity will not fall short of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture in the city. It will be many years yet before the Cathedlral of St. John the Divine is finished, but by inclosing with temporary walls and roof the space between the colossal granite arches of the tower a church with room for a congregation of 2,000 will be provided. The portion thus temporarily utilised is know technically as the crossing. Here the transepts cross the upper portion of the nave, and over it ultimately the tower will be erected. It is a rectangle 60 feet by 54 and is practically a continuation of the choir.

Together they will form a church of;

considerable size but, as in all cathe-

idrals, there will be room in the choir

for only the clergy and the singers, and the congregation will be accom

modated entirely in the crossing. I Of course, compared with what the

cathedral will be when it is finished, this church will be merely a temporary expedient: but as a matter of fact in the great cathedrals of the old world little more than the choirs and transepts are used for ordinary services. Acoustic difficulties make the utilization of the naves impossible except on state occasions and the congregations gather as near as possible to the choir. Consequently New York will have in a few months time a structure quite large enough to fulfill most of the purposes of a cathedral. In dignity, too. it will be in no way wanting. The lofty choir with its eight great granite pillars, its graven reredos, and carven stalls will be complete. There will be room for all the stately ritual of the Episcopal church and the crossing, plain as its architecture Is, has a dignity from its very simplicity and spaciousness. A contrast, of course, there can not help being between the richness of the finished portions of the cathedra and the

Harvest Hands in Eastern Washington Demand $3 a Day for Their Work.

GROWERS ISSUE MANDATE

Spokane, Wash., Aug. 7. Three dollars a day for 10 hours work is demanded by harvest laborers in the wheat fields in eastern Washington where the ranchers in 13 counties will gather a crop of 37,000,000 bushels this season. The scale paid in 1908 ranged from f2.50 for laborers to $7 for. engineers, working from 5 o'clock in the morning until dusk. Farmers say that will be the schedule this year. They do not expect to have any difficulty in obtaining sufficient help to harvest the crop. Another situation is presented by the Farmers Union of Washington - and Northern Idaho, which, through Y. C. Mansfield of Endlcott, Wash, a member of its executive committee, has addressed an "open letter" to the millers in Washington and Oregon, in which it is made plain that if the price of Bluestem wheat Is not at least 10 cents a bushel higher than Club or Turkey Red grain the growers will establish mills.

FIFTH AVENUE MILLINER'S FINE FEATHERS ARE SEIZED WHEN SHE ARRIVES FROM EUROPE ON THE SAVOIE.

New York, Aug. 7. Although as demure in appearance as any other woman passenger on the Savole, of the French line, that came in from Havre yesterday, Miss Matilda Spiegl, a milliner, who said her place of business was in Fifth avenue, was found to be a much befeathered young woman after a search by customs officers on the pier. There was something in the appearance of Miss Spiegl's hat that first excited the suspicions of an inspector, who reported the fact to Deputy Surveyor John Raczievicz. The lining of Miss Spiegl's hat was opened and out fell several of the finest plumes that have been brought in for many a day. More were taken from her coat, and as the men inspectors had done as much as they could to assist the government to collect the proper duty, Miss Spiegl was taken in hand by women Inspectors and searched in a stateroom on board the Savole. There were feathers in her waist and folds of her Paris made gown and even feathers in her stockings. A facetious inspector said that from all accounts the young woman was prepared to fly from the pier as quickly as her baggage was examined. Deputy Surveyor Raczievicz decided Miss Spiegl would have to settle the matter with the collector of the port and seized the feathers and plumes which were casually valued at 500. Although caught with the feathers Miss Spiegl accepted the situation with good nature and decided that redress would have to come later.

Football is a game whose origin dates .back to the Danish invasion of England. In the year the citizens of Chaster captured a Dane, and after beheading him kicked bis head about the city for sport, which proved so attractive that it was repeated whenever the head of an enemy could be got. In after times, as It was not possible always to obtain a man's head for the purpose of entertainment the shoemakers of the city were bound by their charter to provide "a balle of leather called a footballe, of . the

OLD AERIAL WHEELS Pneumatic Tires Not as Modern as General Belief Leads One to Believe.

FIRST ONE IN ENLGAND

The first pneumatic tire patent was registered in England in 1S45 by R. W. Thomson. The saient features of this pioneer's "aerial wheels' were covered in the specifications in this quaint phraseology: 'The nature of my said invention consists in the application of elastic bearings around the wheels of carriages for the purpose of lessening the power required to draw the carriage, rendering their motion easier and diminishing the noise they make when in motion. I prefer employing for the purpose a hollow belt composed of some air and water tight material, such as caoutchouc or gutta percha, and inflating it with air, whereby the wheels will in every part of their revolution present a cushion of air to the ground, or rail or track on which they run." After many experiments with Thomson's "aerial wheels" on all sorts of horse drawn vehicles, covering a period of several years the invention fell into complete oblivion, and it was not until bicycles became an accomplished fact that the pneumatic tire was again brought out, this time by Dunlop in 1S88. Their application to the bicycle was not a complete success, however, as their usefulness ended with the first puncture, so it may be said that the first satisfactory pneumatic was that introduced by Michelon in France a few years later. The Michelon tire was detachable, the first of that type, could be repaired easily on the road by the rider and soon became the subject of much imitation.

RELIC III OLD COURT

Newport, Ind.. Aug. 7. While two carpenters were unroofing an old building on the southeast comer of the public square they found several relics in the attic which are at least fifty or sixty years old and are supposed to have been put there for preservation. Among the curios were four large buffalo bides, which were in good condition, with the exception that the hair was eaten by moths in several places There were also about thirty old hand loom reeds that. were used to weave flannels, carpets, etc . This old building used to be a part of the first court bouse In the county and Is now used a a cement vault

WHALE WAS USED IS MOTIVE POWER

Houseboat Attached to Fin Whirled About in Water at High Speed Rate. CARRIED AWAY TO THE SEA

EXCITING TRIP TAKEN BY BRIDEGROOM AND WIFE, WHOSE HONEYMOON WAS SOMEWHAT MOV EL AT LEAST.

Seattle. Aug. 7. Mr. and Mrs. John Greenleaf. who have been spending their honeymoon living on a houseboat, were given a fast ride of twenty miles behind a young fin-back; whale near Port Angeles. The houseboat was -erected on a float made of eight logs, each eighty feet long and fully a foot thick. The boat was securely anchored In a little cove by two heavy cables. To prevent its breaking away In case of storm, chains were hung from the logs to anchors buried in the sandy beach. It is believed the whale was playing at night in the cove and coming up under the boat became tangled In the loose anchor chains. Unable to free himself the big fish set the heavy float careening until the cables parted. A little after sunrise fishermen saw the float and the houseboat swaying as If it were In an earthquake. Then the raft and all started for the ocean, fishermen were unaware the boat was occupied until they saw the fright ened bridegroom and his bride clinging desperately to the side of the house. They cried out for help and the fishermen headed their launch toward the rapidly disappearing float and followed at fnll speed. About twenty miles out in the strait of Juan de Fuca the float came to a standstill. The fishermen soon came up and rescued Greenleaf and bis wife. The whale barely thirty feet long, had become pinched between two toga and was dead.

Balm of Giiead. ' The drug bad a delicious odor. It smelted like . a breath of fragrance from a grove of sun warmed pines. The druggist said: "It is balm of Gilead. the real thing. I import it from Syria. It grows on a low bush there, and you get It by. tapping, the same as yen get turpentine or rubber. Balm of Gilead Is very costly, for the balm bosh only, yields a few drops a day In the tapping season. Dyspepsia and melancholia are the diseases that the balm

is usually prescribed for.' Enquirer.
