New York, July 2. Tear stood In (he eyes of Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, when he learned today that his son Ewlng, shot and badly wounded Michael Martin, a saloon keeper at Saugerties, Ulkter county, last night. While the saloon man Is not dying it Is probable that an effort will be made to place the younger Watterson In an Insane asylum. Colonel Watterson, who Is staying at the Manhattan Club, said today: "My wife and I have been afraid that he would get into this sort of trouble for a long time. We believe that he Is partially Insane on the subject of religion. He was extremely sensitive and Imagined himself Insulted when there was not the slightest disposition In that direction on the part of anybody. Young Watterson entered the saloon last night and flourished a revolver. The bartender ordered him to put it up. Young Watterson said he would not shoot anyone. A moment later Martin, the owner of the place, entered and ordered Watterson out when he paw the revolver. Watterson pulled the trigger and Martin fell to the floor with a bullet In his leg.

Watterson fired again, shattering the I bone of Martin's elbow. Then he ran out flourishing the revolver. Con. I stables followed and arrested him. Watterson had been drinking for several days. Young Watterson was held for further examination next Thursday when he was arraigned before a police judge In Saugertles this a. m.

BY RODERICK CLIFFORD., Washington, July 2. "The "successful man in business Is the one who understands the art of advertising, and as advertising pays the business man it must be evident to the people who have at heart the advancement of the country, that International expositions are just what we want to attract the best class of immigrants," said Representative Harry L. Maynard of Virginia, in discussing the proposed Panama exposition to be held either at San Francisco or New. Orleans, in 1915, in commemoration of the opening of the Panama canal. Mr. Maynard is a member of the house committee on industrial arts and expositions and if the next house is democratic he may become chairman of this important committee, as he is now the ranking minority member. "Next winter," he said, "our committee will be called on to recom

mend to the house the city to be se

lected, and Judging from the fight San

Francisco and New Orleans are putting up to capture the prize, I have

no hesitancy in saying that the vote

will be close. Both cities have the en

ergy and the money to make the ex

position a grand success and both cities . have claims for recognition that will be difficult to Ignore. Indeed I

have already heard the suggestion that the opening of the Panama canal will

be such a world-wide affair that the Interest In the event might well warrant the holding of two expositions. The advertising has already commenced, and aa the time slips by

there wMl be an increase in the

amount of printers ink used, thus setting afire the desire of millions to attend the exposition. The linking together of the two greatest oceans Atlantic and Pacific is an event, the like of which may never occur again.

"Every state in the union will be

more or less benefited, and In more

ways than one. I am confident it will

help the south, especially in the mat

ter of attracting a class of immigrants who will make their homes with us after seeing the fertile fields, valleys and rich lands to be held in the south. It is not extravagance nor a waste of

the people's money to promote inter

national expositions such as the pro

posed Panama exposition, which in

this case, will be recognized by the governments of the world, and attended by the people from all parts of the

globe."

There is Just one bill of national

importance that can generally command the support of nearly every member of the house. It is called the

omnibus public building bill, but spok

en of as the "pork barrel." because

every congressional district in the

house is more or less interested. It is the passage of this bill that means

so mucn to tne memour wno has a

fight on hand for renomination, espec

ially if several good sized towns in his district are-clamoring for a new

rost office or a court house. Many a

member has attributed his defeat to the failure to get an appropriation for a federal building for his home town. It was because so many political lives are at stake in the house that there was a practically unanimous vote for the bill. When Congress assembled last December the cry of the House leaders was "economy." The warning came from the White House, and from the Speaker's room orders were to the effect that new legislation involving charges on the Treasury must be omitted. Then the word was passed along the line: "No omnibus public building bill this session." For "weeks the members were downhearted. Some said that unless they got a -building or two for their district they would be left at home. Efforts were made by many of the more prominent Republicans in the House to get a word of encouragement and hop from the president, but with 6light success. It was only after the President's measures had been introduced In the House and signs appeared upon the Whie House wall that the House would give the president what he wanted that the clouds lifted. Then came the glad tidings that an omnibus bill would not be objectionable to the president. Then the committee on public huildings and grounds got busy with the 900 public buildings' bills that were Introduced during the

first few months of the session. Those measures called for something like $223.ono,MiO. These figures were cut to $20,000,000, giving every member a "slice of the pork." Then the president got his legislative program through the House. "If the laws dealing with trusts and combinations in restraint of trade

were as rigidly enforced by the Department or Justice as is the pure food and drug act by the Department of Agriculture, there would be less cause for the introduction of resolutions calling on the Attorney General for Information relative to this or that trust," said Representative John A. Martin, of Colorado, today. "Hardly a day goes by that we do not read in the papers of some act on the part of a corporation in restraint of trade, but we have nothing to show that the officers of the Department of Justice are after the rascals. When it comes to the food and drug manufacturers, who falsely label their products and put on he market short weight packages, however, the officers of the Agricultural department are there on the spot ready to enforce the law. Judg

ing from the number of reports I receive from the Department I should say that hardly a day ends but that somewhere in the country, dealers in food and drug products are hauled into court for violating this law. which was passed in the interest of the people.. "These decisions sent out by the Agricultural Department are not only interesting but instructive, and put us on our guard against unscrupulous merchants and manufacturers who rob the innocent purchaser by giving him goods that are not what they are represented to be." L was surprised to learn that hundreds of articles of food are sold under false brands. I recall a case where socalled 'lake herring' was sold for 'white fish, and while fruit extracts were shown on analysis not to contain a drop of fruit syrup. Even in coffee, frauds have been exposed by the officers of the Department. "If the special agents of the Department of Justice were as active as are the special agents under 'Tama Jim' it would not be necessary to en

act additional laws to handle the violators of the laws in restraint of trade."

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG. A Peculiar Bird Found In th JungU of South America. xhere is a queer bird in tbe jungles of northern South America which is called the "pnuji" by the natives, but is known to science as tbe galeated curasson. It is chiefly remarkable because it sings its own death song. It does not really slug, but makes a deep humming noise which ' sounds very much like tbe Spanish words "Kl muerto esta aqui' (tbe corpse lies here).

"It is while uttering this lugubrious chant." said a South American traveler, "that the paujl usually meets its death, for the. hoafcer ca then easily track it to its retreat, and it falls a victim, as the Indians say. to its own death song." If tbe paujl gets suspicious it immediately ceases bumming, and that is a sure indication to the hunter that the bifd has seen him or scents danger. In such a case the only thing for tbe sportsman to dV is to remain perfectly still. The bird may become reassured after waiarg awhlle and again begin to call, "TSsu corpse lies here." It can then be car.tiously approached and killed. If it is only wounded the pauji usually escapes, though it cannot fly much better than the ordinary domestic fowl. It is very fleet of foot and will outrun the hunter until it is lost in the dense undergrowth of the jungle. In the mating season tbe male pauji is tbe most pugnacious of birds and will fight its own kind whenever it meets them. Often tbe fight ends in the annihilation of both combatants.

SALVE FOR HIS WOUND. A Strenuous Scene That Was Not on the Bill of the Play. Giovanni Grasso, a Sicilian actor of unusual dramatic energy, was playing in Florence in one of his fiercest parts, where he had to stab his enemy with a dagger. Suddenly, in tbe heat of his passion. Grasso let tbe weapon slip out of his band. It alighted in the pit on a mun's bend. tticr. it slightly.

smashed it in two and then stamped upon it. Then, with a swiff bound. Grasso was in the pit beside the injured man. The next minute Ue hud climbed back to the boards, with the victim in bis arms. After settling him in a chair Grasso threw himself on his knees and began a long entreaty for forgiveness. This was rapidly granted by the much embarrassed playgoer, who on his side begged to be allowed to return to his seat. But this was not to be until Grasso. weeping copiously, had lstowed no fewer than fifty resounding kisses on the man's blushing cheeks.,i ... The action was greeted, with Jond cheers, and after Grasso had gracefully bowed his thanks tbe play was resumed and successfully concluded. London Express.

In giving a customer a hair cut a bit of hair often lodges under the finger nail, and if it isn't removed it is apt to fester and get sore. Sometimes we don't even know It's there until it begins to get in Its fine work. It hurts like the dickens sometimes. If yoa dou't believe me. ask any barber and he'll tell you the same thing."
