(National News Association) I.OS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 30 Luther McCarty and Al Palzer, in excellent, condition and confident of victory in their fight on New Year's day planned only light work today at their training quarters. Tomorrow the big fellows will rest. Both men have tapered down in their work for the past few days but Sunday was a strenuous one at the camps. As a final workout both the fighters went in for boxing and the big fights that visited the training quarters were evidently impressed with the work of the fighters. The fight fans have not been able to pick a favorite in the battle and betting today was at even money. It was expected that Palzer, on account of his reach and his experience would rule favorite, but McCarty's showing against Flynn and his work at training quarters has dampened the ardor of the Palzer men who had planned to give slight odds. BOTH ARE PREPARED. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 30 Frankie Burns and "Harlem Tommy" Murphy did a little light boxing today and will rest tomorrow in preparation for their twenty round match on New Year's day. By agreement the boys will weigh in at 10 o'clock on New Year's day at 135 pounds. Burns is already at weight. Murphy can make the weight handily. It looks as if there would be no choice among the wagering men when the boys enter the ring. LEAVES CAUSE THE CHOKING OF SEWERS The first trouble has just been encountered by Street Commissioner Genn this fall in keeping the sewers cleaned. Ten sewers were reported to him as being blocked. The fact that leaves were not properly cleaned off the street is responsible for the blocking. The entire street gang will be at work on them today getting them in proper condition. twelescope LENSES. t Small Glass Magnifies the Picture '.! Made by the Large One. ' j -ple sometimes wonder why a teleI Tle'bas two glasses, one at the big ) nd one at the little end. and they i it to know the difference. The glass t ihe big end is to gather light. It ' times bigger than the eye iu your head It will gather a hundred times more light. It gathers the rays of light coming from a star and bends them all into a common meeting point called a focus, which is a picture of the star. You can look at this picture of the star with your naked eye if you like. But you can see It better and examine it more closely if you look at it with a small magnifying glass. And this Is the glass at the small end of the telescope. It magnifies the picture made by the big glass at the other end of the instrument. All telescopes are built on this principle. Sir William Hersehel was the first to arrange matters a little differently. He took away the glass from the big end and admitted the rays coming straight into the tube lu parallel lines. Then at the bottom of the big tube he placed a bright concave mirror made of burnished metal. When the entering rays fell upon this mirror they were again bent to a point called a facus. which was the picture of the star. To look at this picture he had to place the little magnifying glass at the side of the tube because the mirror had stopped op its lower end. -Louisville Courier-Journal. Something Blind. In one of the crowded streets of New York a beggar was in the habit of taking his stand every day and appealing to the charity of the passersby. By means of a short string he held a dog. around the neck of which a card was fastened with the words, T Am Blind." A very kind old gentleman, who had been in the habit of dropping a penny into the beggar's hat. passed rapidly one morning without doing so. Instantly the leggar rushed after him and asked for the penny to be given, as usual. The gentleman, turning in surprise, said: "Why. I thought you were blind?" "Oh. no. sir!" was the cool reply. It is the dog that is blind, as the card says."

History of Treaty With Russia Which Will be A brogated Next Wednesday

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 Next Wednesday, January 1, 1913, marks the day on which the treaty between Russia and the United States will be abrogated. This international agreement between the Czar and Uncle Sam was entered into in 1832 and was terminated because of Russia's refusal to grant passports to American citizens who were of the Jewish race. While the relations between these two countries have been of a very cordial nature, in a diplomatic sense, matters began to grow acute when eminent American citizens of Hebrew lineage were subjected to the humiliation of being denied entrance into Russia, solely because of their religion. There has been some desultory agitation in regard to this matter from time to time but it came to a head last summer when Oscar Straus, former minister to Constantinople and recently a candidate for governor of NewYork, and Jacob Schiff, a New York banker, applied to the Russian government for passports as American citizens and were refused. This hampering of two eminent American citizens, whom this country had frequently honored, precipitated the agitation which culminated in the 'action taken by Congress abrogating the treaty of January 1st of this year. Steps have been taken, however, to continue friendly relations between the two countries. Diplomatic Marvel. j This alliance was one of the diplomatic marvels of the ago. Here was a country which represented the last word in autocratic tyranny assuming and maintaining a most cordial attiI tude towards a Republic and a demI ocracy which was fairly set out upon a mission to cast down those political I ideals w hich the former country was j making its chief object to maintain. I Notwithstanding this Russia has always been ranged on the side of the i United States in every international j issue involving the welfare of this govi ernment. j At the time the question of abroga- ! ting the treaty was up before Con- ! gress. President Taft pointed out that .the treaty was old and antiquated and that while its provisions had been vio- . lated in the matter of the American ! Jews, there were also other important ' questions that had arisen since the j ratification of the treaty, which were ' not covered by it. It was William Sulzer, Democratic Governor-elect of the state of NewYork, who initiated the fight on the treaty in the house of representatives. As chairman of the committee on Foreign affairs he arose and, burning with indignation he called the attention of the house to the gross violation of the ancient pact and demanded its abrogation. Introducing a resolution to this effect, Mr. Sulzer precipitated a fight in the house which lasted several days. There were some members who were disposed to look upon Russia's discrimnatory tactics with indifference, but before the debate had progressed many days the temper of the American people made itself felt in so palpable a manner that Congress voted overwhelmingly to abrogate the treaty. Are Still Friends. This does not mean that displomatic relations between Russia and the United States are indefinitely suspended. In fact they will not be cut off at all in a practical sense. It was but recently that President Taft sent a message to the Czar congratulating him upon his birthday and that ruler replied in i terms of cordiality. The treaty of 1S32 was effected by James Buchanan, who was then minister at St. Petersburg, and Count Nessselrode, Russian minister of foreign af fairs. At that time no mention was trade by either government of personal rights independent of Commercial rights, and it was this very technicality which resulted in its abrogation eighty years later. At the time the treaty was made it was looked upon as a shrewd diplomatic victory for Buchanan and he was the recipient of numerous congrat ulations. The terms of the treaty were l considered to be broad although the thought of both countries was. doubtless, that it related to commercial affairs only. The first case of record in which j an American Jew was denied pass- , port into Russia was in 1S52, when ithe Russian government refused to vise the passport of A. Dudley Mann, who was afterwards assistant secretary of -state and envoy to Brussels from the Southern Confederacy during the Civil war. Mr. Mann complained to Secretary of State F.dward Everett, that the first article aX the treaty had been

THE RICHMOND PjI LLAJUU3I

OH. HOW HKE LINCOLN YOU violated. But that statesman did not ' concur in his view of it. He said the j treaty coverd commercial relations , only and called Mann's attention to the stipulation that the inhabitants of the two states should have the I same protection and security as na- : fives of the country wherein they reside "on condition of their submitting to the laws and ordinances there i prevailing, and particularly to the regulations in force concerning commerce ! and that the right of sojourn and ' residence must have reference to that i subject. j There were no more cases of this I kind until 1874, when Marshall Jewel, i the American Minister, brought the attention of the State department to i the complaint of an American Jewest ' who was threatened with expulsion from Russia. Hamilton Fish, secretary of state, I instructed him thus: I "The context and subject of this article (Article I) seem to contemplate a commercial sojourn and residence ! within the territories of the respecthe contracting parties 'in order to j attend to their affairs' and it insured ; to the parties availing themselves of the 'liberty' thus granted the same security and protection as natives of the country wherein they reside 'may enjoy' on condition of their submitting to the laws and ordinances there prevailing, and particularly to the regu- ; lations in force concerning commerce', j thus strengthening the idea that the article was intended to guarantee only j a commercial residence." Later in the same year Mr. Fish added these comments on the treaty: "It may be proper subject for rej gret that the Russian government should feel itself constrained to ad- ! here to a policy which the statesmen of the United States regard as a relic of illiberality. But in the presence of history it cannot be denied that the right to enact and enforce laws respecting religious faith and observance of persons who receive the protection of a state has been insisted upon and exercised by almost every nation of modern Christendom." It was not until 1881 that an American statesman took the opposite view of the matter. And since the man who did was no other than James G. Blaine, his interpretation of the treaty has been the one generally accepted by the people and the statesmen of the United States. Blaine's Argument. Mr. Blaine argued that Russia had taken advantage of a technicality in expelling American Jews and that such action was contrary to the spirit of the treaty. "You can further advise the Emperor," said he in the course of a letter to the American minister at St. Petersburg, "that we can make no new treaty with Russia nor accept any construction of our existing treaty which shall discriminj ate against any class of American citiJ zens on account of their religious j faith." j The treaty article which the Czar is ' accused of violating is the first upon I the list of 14 articles. It is as fol- ! lows: ! "There shall be between the terri tories of the high contracting parties a reciprocal liberty of commerce and navigation. The inhabitants of their respective states shall mutually have i liberty to enter the ports, places and j rivers of the territories of each party wherever foreign commerce is permitted. They shall he at liberty to so- ; journ and reside in all parts whatsoi ever of said territories in order to atj tend to their affairs; and shall enjoy, ! to that effect, the same security and j protection as natives of the country j w herein they reside on condition of ; their submitting to the laws and or- ! dinances there prevailing, and particJ ularly to the regulations in force governing commerce." Boiling Alive. The last instance of boiling to death took place in Persia in 1800. The offender was guilty of stealing state revenues and was put into a large caldron of cold water, which was slowly heated to the boiling point Ilis bones were distributed as a warning among the provincial tax collectors.

...... -V TO TAKE THE SHORT COURSE Arrangements Are Being Made to Handle Large Attendance. Arrangements are being made to handle a large attendance at the Farmers' Short Course to be held by the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University at Cambridge City on February 3, 4 and 5. Lice stock-breeding, feeding and judging, corn growing and corn judging, the growing of legumes, spraying, pruning, care and general management of the orchard, selecting the dairy herd, breeding, feeding and housing it. milk production, milk testing, keeping records of the dairy herd, poultry raising in all its phases; and for the women, cooking demonstrations and the discussion of important household problems these and many other subjects will be discussed in some 2520 to 25 lectures and as many practical demonstrations in the various classes. The farmer folk of Wayne, Henry, Fayette, Rush and Union counties intend to show the rest of the state that they are progressive in educational matters at least, and that they are determined to grow as good field crops raise as good live stock, have as good roads and as good homes as any other county in the state, said a local man today. The twenty Short Courses planned for the state this season must reach directly not less than 20,000 people. The local management of the Short Course at Cambridge City as well as the Purdue reople look for strong support and a big attendance. Five large halls have been engaged to accommodate the school. More than 350 persons have enrolled and interest in the movement is growing. FIRST AID IN FAINTING. Lower the Head to Let the Blood Back to the Brain. Fainting is a loss of consciousness due to the diminution of blood supply to the brain. It occurs most frequently in weak, sensitive women, but may occur also to men as well. It usually occurs in crowds or in crowded balls, theaters and churches, where the atmosphere is close and the air foul. Fainting usually lasts only a few minutes, and the person recovers immediately when taken out Into the fresh air. but there are cases in which it lasts much longer, sometimes for an hour or more. The first aid treatment of fainting is' usually very simple. Take the person out into the fresh air and lay him fiat on the back, with the head lower than the feet. This can be done by grasping the feet and holding the body so that the head hangs down, or take an ordinary straight back chair, turn it over so that the back forms an angle with the floor and place the person on the back of the chair with the head hanging down. This position writh the head hanging down favors the flow of the blood back to the brain. All tight clothing about the neck and waist should be loosened. Smelling salts or aromatic spirits of ammonia applied to the nostrils and cold water sprinkled on the face, chest and hands help to restore consciousness. National Magazine. THE SILVER DOLLAR. Many Changes In Its Design Since It Was First Issued. The silver dollar has undergone a great many changes since it was pnt in circulation In 17JM. On the face of the first dollar there was stamped the head of a young woman turned to the right and with hair flowing, as if she was in a gale of wind. Bat in 1790 congress came to her relief and ordered her hair to be tied up with a bit of ribbon. The fifteen stars which appeared on the first dollar were after this reduced to the original thirteen in recognition of the number of states. In 1S3G the design was again changed, and the dollar bore the figure of a woman dressed In a flowing garment The designer forgot however, to put In the thirteen stars, and the coin was soon called in. the new design having the woman surrounded'by s"tafs.

names another player, who must eaten, the plate lefore it falls, keep it troing and go on with the story. "Plum puddiug" must be brought into each story and Its continuation, and the plate must uerer te allowed to fall. The story may !e something like this: "It was Chritutas. and wt were all at my grandmother's house. She let me help her order the dinner. Of course there was a pl;:ni pudding (spiu the plate) of great size, an:! w all liked it letter than mincf pie." Mince pie must then catch tbe spinning plate, give It a fresh impetus and continue: "In which they showed had taste. I think, for. while mince pie are fine at Christinas. 1 should prefer plum puddinsr to roast chestnut. Roast chestnut seb.es the plate and goes on: "Yes. but they are for dessert. I think plum pudding would te better than cranberry tart." And so the game goes on till all are tired or wits give out. Any one letting the plate fall or failing to continue the story pays a forfeit or leaves the game as previously arranged. Children's Bird Party. It was at a party that this scheme was used, and it proved so satisfactory others may wish to try the same thing. Birds drawn in sepia ornamented the Invitations, and the favors were Japanese paper birds that chirped in a most natural manner. On the wall a peacock was drawn without the tail, which was to be supplied after the manuer of the old time "donkey" party.

"Whole bog or none" refers to the alleged custom of Mohammed to allow his followers to eat all except one portion of a pig. which portiou. however, was not specified.

Parks has been conspicious in police circles for his connections with the Saunders family, a member of which was killed last September by Samuel Whaleu, who was acquitted last month. Parks is an objectionable suitor to Clara Saunders, daughter of James Saunders, who is blind and infirm. Parks and the daughter have been meeting unknown to the Saunders family and their relations are improper the members of the family believe. In police court Saturday morning, while the blind father of the girl wan being cross examined by Parks, who was acting as his own attorney the enraged man sprang from his chair and struck at Parks with his fist. Judging from where the sound of Parks' voice was and not being able to see the seducer of his daughter, his fist struck the table before which Parks was sitting. A Bravo Father.
