BURIED BODY HALTS BIG CORPORATIONS Court Holds Burial Ground Safe from Intrusion Estate Gets Land.

Chicago, Ftb. 15.In a clash between business and sentiment power ful corporations have been defeated toy Andrea Zirngibl, a humble Belgian fUherman, who. In addition to having been "as poor as Jobs turkey," has been dead for half a century. Figuratively speaking, the uplrlt of the late Mr. Zirngibl haa rluen from Ha grave out in South Chicago and tutld to its too: "Thus far thult thou go and no farther." Buried on Homestead. And the foca have halted In their tracks, not beraiiae alarmed or superatltloua, for corporations, being soulleas, do not feel these emotions, but because they know that Mr. Zirnglbl's spirit has the law on its Bide. Zirngibl camfe to this country from lielgium, his departure from his native land having been hastened by the fact that he was wanted fpr smuggling and settled on the shores of Lake Michigan, at the niout,h of the Calumet river, where he took up the occupation of a fisherman. Zirngibl never got. rich; but In the course of time his meager savings reached the total of $160 and with, this sum he bought an eighty-five acre tract at the mouth of the river. On this farm he lived and died. When the end came his family wanting a better place, laid his body to rest in the middle of the homestead. " ' City Grows Around Grave. That was fifty years ago. Since then great changes have taken" place on the banks of the sluggish Calumet. North of it Chicago, a squalid lake trading post, developed Into the second city of the continent, South of It the wilderness of Illinois blossomed Into a prosperous commonwealth. And while Andres Zirnglbl's bones were slowly moldering Into dust the outposts of the growing state and city mt around his grave and great manufacturing plants and shipyards Into ex I stance., . - ' Gradually as the years went by the little Zirngibl ' homestead - dwindled. Impecunious descendants lopped off a segment here and ther and tossed it to the hungry ."octopr who were creeping up on every side. Court Holds Ground Sacred. At last there were only 5.52 acres left, and In the midst of this lay all that was mortal of Andres Zirngibl. The Greut Lukes Dredge and Dock company fixed a covetous eye on this littlo strip. A question of title was raised. The controversy was carried Into the courts. The issue was fought from one legal battlefield to another. A few days ago the case reached the supreme court of the state. That tribunal Ita's Just ruled that Zirnglbl's gruve, the 5.52 acres surrounding it and the path leading to It are inviolate. The coritonttlona lrre onlprcd tn keep off. Sleeps in Tranquility. A little fence surrounds the grave; a blackened wooden slab with a faint Inscription In Dutch' Is 'at Its head. On tho northeast the lrlquois mills rumble and screech: and on the north and west tho Illinois Steel mills bellow and roar. Hy day the grave Is overhung by a pull of black smoke, and the red glare of furnaces Illuminate it by night. A croas lifts Itself through the murk and beneath that cross Andres Zirngibl Bleeps on tranquilly dead and .turned to dust, but defying the world to move him. . COMPLIMENTS BOXER Teddy Will Talk to Any Honest Man, He Says. New York. Feb. 15. Owen Moran. the Kngllsh light-weight champion pugilist, and Theodore Roosevelt clasped bands and exchanged good, w I alios In a dining car of tho New York Central which brought them from Michigan. .Moran picked out the Colonel among party which entered the dining car last night. When a friend asked Mr. Roosevelt if ho would like to meet the Kngllsh lightweight the Colonel Immediately turned away from his companions and walked over to Moron's table. T've been a little out of line on taxing matters for the last year or no," said the Colonel, lie was speedily enlightened as to Moran's record and recent pugilistic events among the lightweights. . "So you knocked Nelson out, did you? Fine! magnificent," excalmed tho Colonel, who looked the little fighter over appreciatively and examined closely a peculiarity of one of Morna's hands. For some time they exchanged remInlscenses of fights and fighters. When Moran remarked on the readiness with which Colonel ' Roosevelt had consented to, talk to him and the contrast which the fighter found with exclusive men abroad, the Colonel straightened up and clenched his hand Well, there's no king I can t talk to and no honest man that can't talk to roe." the Colonel declared with characteristic emphasis. Boxer and former president wished each other the best of good fortune on parting. Mrs. Chas. Kelp's dancing class will give a masquerade Friday evening at I. O. O. P. Hall, 7 o'clock.

NEW ENGLAND SOLON MAY BE IMPLICATED

I

Senator-elect M'Lcan, of Connecticut, who may be involved in a far reaching political scandal aa the reSuit of the disclosures of a delegate to the Connecticut state convention. This man, John J. Lawless, a young attorney' to New London, asserts that the delegates from Middlesex County went to Hartford Instructed to vote for one candidate, but later cast tjheir votes for Charles A. Goodwin, the defeated gubernatorial candidate. Lawless charges that he was offered money to cast his vote for Goodwin and had heard that Goodwin's money was being freely offered to delegates. It Is thought that the Lawless statement may furnish a key to the statement that "many expenses Incurred by Senator-elect M'Lean were paid by the defeated nominee for Governor Charles A. Goodwin" and it is said that the investigation of Lawiess's revelations may disclose a condition of political rottenness that will involve many prominent Connecticut politicians. WOMEN ARHMLESS Would Lose Their Heads If They Could, Clerk Says. New York, Feb. 13. The lost and found department in one of the big hotels did a flourishing business for an hour yesterday and the patrons were women. "It all -goes to show," said the clerk in charge, "that a women would literally lose her head if It could be taken off." First a woman who was not a loser but a finder came up to the desk and handed tn a chatelaine bag. "I saw a woman sit down in the corridor," she said, " and she had this bag in her hand. A few minutes later she got up and as she did bo she put tho bag on a chair and left it. I watched it for awhile, but the owner did not come back, and I thought I had better bring it to you." A few minutes later a woman came up to the desk and asked If anything had been heard or seen of a feather boa of hers which had disappeared in the most unaccountable manner and which she was sure had been stolen. The clerk produced it and she. went out and' got into a taxtcab. Fifteen minutes later a chaff our entered and brought up to the desk thes same feather boa. Tho woman had left it in the taxicab. Not long afterward a third woman hurried up to the desk and asked if the clerk would please tell the hotel detective or the newspapers or somebody or something to find a valuable fur muTf which had been taken from her. She was positive she had left the muff In her room and it simply could not have got out without somebody having carried it. "Is this is. Madam?" Inquired the clerk, handing her a muff that answered to the discriptlon she gave. "Why, yes, How did you get It?: The clerk toll her that it had been picked up rrom a seat In the corridor. She seemed doubtful, but she signed her name In the book as requested, picked up the muff and hurrid away. Then the clerk found her pocket book lying on the counter. TEXAS TO HAVE A "CLEAN UP" DAY San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 15. March 11th has been set aside as official "clean-up" day and every city and town of any size in Texas will, metaphorically speaking, get not with a scrubbing brush and broom. . A great many cities In this state are preparing to go at this "clean-up" work in a most systematic manner. Many Mayors have named committees to take the lead In a section of their town and thus Insure that every part will be looked arter carefully. Dut while the people of the state are 'preparing to put a real spring polish on everything It must be admitted that this movement Is not the result of the activity of the men. For some time the women's clubs all over the state have been clamoring for cleaner cities and towns and the general state wide movement is due In a large measure to their efforts. In this town clean ing. Just as in the home, when a woman equips herself with a dust cap made out of a towel and goes forth with a dust pan and broom, cleanliness Is the result It is safe to assume that with the women's clubs of the state as an exciting cause. Texas will be clean from the Red River to the Gulf, and from Orange to El Paso Hftcr March H. , . , ... . .

RECIPROCITY GETS A SHOVEjOWIIWARD Will Not Reduce High Cost of Living, T. J. StudySays Helps Big Fellow. Despite the fact that the proposed reciprocity treaty between the governments, of the United States and Canada is in keeping with planks in the national platform of the Democratic party, attorney Thomas J. Study, of this city, a leader in party affairs In the county and one of the best known Democrats in the state, does not believe that the operation of the treaty will bring results which the wage earner and professional man desire. Reciprocity with ail the nations would be a good thing he says. But with Canada alone, he views reciprocity from a different angle and declares It will be a benefit, and practically a sole benefit at that, to the big interests, particularly the American manufacturers. The kind of reciprocity wanted by the factory employe and the city man is that which will reduce the high cost of living and not alone make it possible for the big manufactories to compete more easily in foreign countries, Mr. Study says. For example, he asked if anyone could show him whether or not coffee would be cheapened; whether the price on pork and other meats would be reduced; whether the American people could purchase sugar at a lower figure and other like commodities be correspondingly reduced by a treaty with Canada. His own answer to the questions were "I think not." "If reciprocity is a good thing with Canada, why s it not a good thing with all countries? The laboring man would then have the benefit. I believe, if I were in congress, I would oppose the effecting reciprocal relations with Canada for this very reason. Attorney Henry U. Johnson, who is well versed in the proposed treaty and regards it with favor, declaring that it is an opening wedge and will eventually lead to other treaties of this nature, after hearing Mr. Study denounce the treaty because it would, so Study believes, lower the high cost of the ordinary table provisions, said, "there is danger in the arguments, after the treaty is effected, and if it does not benefit the laboring man, that he will again demand a high protective tariff."

Ths Road to Success. Just tack this up somewhere where you can see It: y . .r , Success consists la getting out of yourself everything that's la you. It docs not consist in doing almost quite as much or u little more than the other fellow. What the other fellow does doesn't amount to a dent in a doorknob so far as you are concerned. The fact that he succeeds by laying an Atlantic cable, building an Eiffel tower. Inventing .wireless telegraphy or cornering the world's supply of oil doesn't make you a failure because you haven't got enough ready money to buy an automobile. You're successful when you put to some useful purpose every ounce of euergy, every grain of gray matter, every mite of muscle that you're got. You're successful when you've developed all there is to you and have given that to the world. rittaburg Gazette-Times. A Hard Heartad People. Filial piety finds no place in Tibetan character. It is no uncommon thing for a son to turn his father, when too old for work, out of doors and to leave him to perish In the cold. The superstition that the souls of the dead can. If they will, baunt the living drives their hardened natures to gain by the exercise of cruelty the promise of the dying that they will not return to earth.

SENATE TO KNIFE CANADIAN TREATY Indications Are Both Regulars and Insurgents Will Attack the Bill.

(American Sews Service) Washington, Feb. 15. Friends of Canadian reciprocity in the senate" have little or no hope of passing thej President's measure through that body! inspite of the favorable outlook for its passage in the house. The expectation is the legislation will pass the house and when it reaches the senate it will be held up until after adjournment. In the senate not only Republican standpatters but all of the progressive senators except Beveridge, are opposed to it. Most of the Democrats are favorable. The matter will hardly reach a vote. It may even be reported from the senate committee on finance but the trouble will come from the obstructionists. Edwin M. Liee, state chairman of the Indiana Republican committee and John Hayes, secretary, are still in Washington. Lee"s friends are less hopeful today than they were a week ago of his bein appointed federal marshal for the District of Indiana. So many of Indiana Republicans have Lee objectionable that these representations have impressed the President. The only objections thus far urged are that Lee has been too closely identified with Beveridge and would prevent plans for "re-organizing and re-habiliating" the Indiana Republican organization. Indiana men who are complaining most loudly against Iee are members of the old organization who openly opposed or secretly knifed Beveridge in the last campaign. They are recommending the appointment of Fred Sims, who boasted in the last campaign that Beveridge should not be reelected to the senate. Indications are tlie office will not be filled until after March Fourth. A NIGHT SESSION. Washington, Feb. 15. A night session of the house is announced for the final passage of the Canadian reciprocity agreement. Tha Factory SystarrC The factory system began with the Introduction of machinery. It Is thoroughly modern, there being nothing at all like It in antiquity or even in the middle ages. It began with the Invention of the loom by Arkwrigbt. about 1775, and was at first wholly Confined to the cotton manufacture. As mechanical Invention aud discovery advanced and other industries were born the factory system broadened out along with thein until finally it was the dominating feature of ibe community. Exchange.

OWENSVILLE PEOPLE SEEK ENGLISH ESTATE

Owensville, Ind., Feb. 15. That the Sir Francis Drake estate in. England will be divided soon among the several hundred heirs living in this country is the news received yesterday by Owensville people, who are in direct line for a slice of the property valued at 250,000,000.

It may not lx generally known that tho Father of His Country was one of the first Americans to wear artificial teeth. By the time the war of tbe Revolution had ended be had parted company with most cf the outfit which nature had given him. An ingenious physician and dentift of New York city undertook the then unusual task of reequipment and produced at length a full set of artificial teeth. These are now, of course, a dental curiosity and offer an additional proof of the heroism of our first presideut, for it is a matter of fact that General Washington wofu those teeth for many years and, so far as we know, never complained of them. The teeth were carved from ivory and riveted, wired and clamped to a somewhat ponderous gold plate. Three large clamps In particular figure conspicuously in the roof of the mouth and must have caused diflieulty. If not anguish. There were an upper and an under set, aud tbe two were connected and held in position relatively by a long spiral spring on each side, says Harper's Weekly. Nevertheless Washington wore them long and well, a fact sufficiently attested by the worn aud dinted condition of both teeth and plate. At the last account these teeth were the property of a dental institution in Baltimore. COAL2 GREAT DIFFERENCE. ' I GUARANTEE MINE THE BEST C. S. FARNHAM

Muncie, lnd., Feb. 15.

Miss Bavter fell in love with William E. Jones. That was six years ago, and the two were eventually married in secret. She told her husband of the strange request of her aunt, and Jones agreed, according to the story told, to help her keep the secret until the money should come into his wife's possession. Then the two entered on a novel relationship. Jones and his wife were never seen together, and ho only visited her at night, always leaving before daylight. Finally he became tired of this state of affairs and urged his wife to announce their marriage and give up all claim to the fortune, but she refused to do so. This so angered him that he went to a distant city and obtained a divorce, being careful, however, to obtain the decree secretly in order that his wife might not be cheated out of
