BRIBERY CASE EHD IS BOffll SIGHT Attorneys for Accused Senator Will Have Finished on Thursday. PROBABLE VOTE MARCH 10

IT 18 LEARNED THAT THE DEFENSE PLANS TO CALL AS WITNESS A POLITICIAN OF NATIONAL REPUTATION.

There is the vote

(American News Service) Albany, N. Y.. Feb. 26. The end of the Allds-Conger bribery investigation is in sight. The attorneys for Senator Jotham P. Allds declared today that they expect to finish their case by Thursday and the rebuttal examinations by the lawyers for the accuser, Senator Conger, will probably carry the senate hearing through Friday, leaving the summing up for the first

part of the following week, little doubt felt today that

will be taken on March 10. At the. same time there is slight probability that the remaining hearings as to Conger's bribe taking charge against Allds. will follow an even way. It was learned today that the defense is prepared to summon to the witness stand one of the foremost politicians in the state a man of national reputation. Won't Divulge Plans. Martin V. Littleton and Lewis B. Carr, Allds counsel, refused to diulge their plans and the fact that an Inkling of their Intentions to call as a witness for the defense a political chieftain appeared to cause them annoyance. The name of this star witness has not yet appeared in the case, however, it is admitted. This eliminates from conjecture ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt nd Col..W, G. Dunn, former chairmen of the republican state committee. It was intimated today also that tlv; prosecution has a surprise up its sleeve, to be held till the last moment but this rumor was not generally given credence among the legislators remaining over the 'week end in the state capital. Two Handy Holidays. The forces that are contending for the position of senate majority leader and the presidency pro tem. vacated by Allds. are taking advantage of the Friday to Tuesday holiday to whip their plans into cnape, preparatory to the conference of republican senators called for Tuesday, f Senator Davis of Buffalo, who presides at the Allds hearing, is still generally regarded as the man most likely to get the place, but the supporters of Senator Cobb are no less confident.

PLAN A NEW NICKEL Government Will Issue Coin Bearing the Head of Washington.

IS NOW BEING ENGRAVED

Now that the novelty of the Lincoln renny has worn off the public has been wondering what the next change in the coins would be and the answer comes back from the mint that the change will be In the nickels. Dies for the new coins have been engraved by the engravers of the Philadelphia mint and the proposed coin will bear the head of George Washington, "the father of our country." It is said that an effort was being made to issue the new coins on Washington's birthday, but the plans of the mint authorities miscarried and it was impossible to complete the dies by that time. The new coin is proposed to take the place of the old coins entirely and unlike the penny coinage, will continue until another change is made. It is expected that the new coins will arrive in this city within the next few weeks.

HERE IS GOOD BET

Local plungers are now gambling on the future pranks of Dame Nature and are laying wagers against the weather. During the recent heavy snow fall, Street Commissioner Genn and his force dumped large quantities of snow on the vacant lot at the corner of Main and Seventeenth streets, and the boys have commenced betting on how long It will be until the last vestige of the huge piles has disappeared.

AN INFANT PRODIGY.

IF TRACTION COMPANY WINS THE BIG FIGHT, IT IS ARGUED. LABOR CAUSE ALL OVER THE U. S. WILL SUFFER.

(American News Service) Philadelphia. Feb. 26. It will be decided tomorrow afternoon at a general meeting of the Central Federated Union whether or not the 100.000 men and women members of the organisations comprising a couple of hundred trades, will strike in sympathy with the street car men. If they do. there will be the liveliest kind of a time here. If they don't, the town will resume its every day Quietude and the conductors and motormen will throwup their hands and quit. Truth is that labor unionism has been backed up against a wall and is making its last stand. And labor men say the last stand means not only the future of organized labor in Philadelphia, but in the United States. It appears almost inevitable, from tho talk of labor leaders, that a general strike will be ordered and go into effect Monday morning. If the sympathizers of C.000 idle men burned 20 cars, and stoned 500 cars in a week, what will the sympathizers of 100,000 idle men do next week?

Sir Jehn Evelyn's Tribute to His Wen. derful Child. Of all the stories of infant marvels the most touching is that told by Sir John Evelyn In. his diary .when he records in his quaint, dignified style the death of bis wonderful little boy: "Died my dear son Richard, to our Inexpressible griefe and affliction. Cxe years and three days ooelj. but at that tender age a prodigy for wltt and learning.

Dumas and His Perthes.

Dumas, like Balzac, was fond of bisown creations. Among them all he loved Portboa best. The great, strong, vain hero was a child after, his own heart. One afternoon, it Is related, bis son found Dumas careworn, wretched, overwhelmed. "What has happened to you? Are you ill?" asked Dumas flis. -No." replied Dumas per. -Well, what is it, then?" "I am miserable." -Why?" -rThis morning I killed Porthos poor Port bos! Ob. what trouble I have had to make up my mind to do it! But there must be an end to all things. Yet when I saw him sink beneath the ruins, crying. "It Is too heavy, too heavy for mer I swear to you that X cried r And he wiped away a tear with the sleeve of bis dressing sown.

TO WELCOME TEDDY

(American News Service) New York, Feb. 20. Mayor Gaynor will appoint a committee early next week to extend New York's welcome home to ex-President Roosevelt upon his return from Africa and Europe. This was announced today following a suggestion to the mayor from Collector of the Port. William Loeb, Jr., that preparations to meet the distinguished traveler be made. The full personnel of the committee has not been decided, but the active plans to make the return of New York's most famous living son a notable event, will be in full swing within the next few days.

HONOR HOWARD DILL

Howard A. Dill, superintendent of the local water works system, was elected second vice president of the Indiana Sanitary and Water Supply Association, at the closing session in the Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis. He also read a paper before the association. State Food and Drug Commissioner H.

E. Barnard, of Indianapolis, was elected president.

(American News Service) Chicago, Feb. 20. Senator LaFollette, Rev. Frank Crane believes, should be voted the biggest tablet in the Hall of Fame. Also all the other republican insurgents should have memorials. And, what is more, Dr. Crane is in favor of backing a moving van up to the aforesaid hall and unceremoniously removing therefrom tablets honoring divers and sundry men whom the world for many years has been taught to revere as being great. In fact. Dr. Crane, who spoke before the men's club of the Immanuel Methodist church at Evanston, has revised the list of the world's famous men to include in addition to the insurgents, only thes: Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt. Tolstoy. Wagner. Pinchot. Ibsen. World's Real Heroes. These Mr. Crane says are the world's real heroes, while others, he allows, are mere imitations. "If George Washington were living today he couldn't be elected to any office in Chicago'e First ward, much less to the presidency of the United States," was Rev. Mr. Crane's first shot. "No, if Washington were to bob up in First ward politics Hinky Dink and Bath House John would succeed in beating him to a frazzle. "Out in Billy Lorimer's district they'd make the 'father of his country' look like an old-fashioned twospot. If by some freak of circumstances Washington should get into the senate, it's a mighty safe guess that Mr. Aldrich would not let him speak, while over in the house 'Uncle Joe' Cannon would unceremoniously throw him out."

(American News Service) Constantinople, Feb. 20. News of a massacre by Albanians and rumors of a coup by Bulgaria in the Balkans, reached here simultaneously today. The massacre took place in the Kossove district, where all the Servian priests in six villages were tortured and murdered by Albanian soldiers, who also killed many Servians before they were driven off. The country is greatly alarmed by reports of a Russian, Austrian and Servian alliance behind Bulgaria that will plan autonomy for Macedonia and weaken Turkish resources.

Florida Wonders. Within two miles of Crystal River there is a sulphur spring 1,500 feet deep, hot as one could bear to bathe In. gushing through a pipe, leaving prismatic colors all about.. At this place a company was boring for oil.

and after striking several springs with more or less sulphur, which it despised and passed, it came upon this one and had stopped work for the time being. This is a most interesting place to visit, and on the way one can stop at the "wishing well" and drink the wonderfully clear water while wishing one's dearest wish.
