Admits He Gave Damaging Testi mony, and Believes Decision i Has Been Reached. . CHICAGO, April 7. Members of the jFederal grand jury which is investigating:- the beef trust were placed in posses ion of "inside information" toaay by Myron C. Baker, auditor for the Boston Elevated Railroad, and for two years private secretary to Edward C. Swift, vice-president of Swift & Co. Mr. Baker was on the stand for nearly two hours and is said to have furnished a great deal of Information concerning the inner work ings of the big meat-packing firms. In answer to questions after leaving the jury-room, Mr. Baker declared he had told the truth and that from the action of the jurors it was apparent to him that they had already decided on what action would be taken against the packers. It was persistently rumored about the Federal offices, where the jury Is sit ting, that preparations are making to return indictments within a short time, but whether the Indictments will charge violation of the anti-trust laws, perjury or Interference with witnesses could not be ascertained. "I believe that the jurors have made up their minds in this matter," said Mr. Baker. "They seem to understand the situation, and wc got along well to gether. - I was not asked If any one had approached me or anything along that line, so I suppose they know what 1 have been doing since I came to Chicago." "Did you tell anything that might In jure the cause of the packers?" Mr. Ba ker was asked. "Yes, I think I did. I told everything I .knew, and it was the truth. I testi fied for almost two hours." "Did you present any documentary evi dence?" he was asked. "No, I did not," was the reply, ac companied by a significant motion toward his forehead. The jury adjourned tonight until Mon day. The demurrer to the indictments against T. J. Connors, Armour & Co.'s general superintendent, on charges' of in terfering with witnesses will be called tomorrow morning and argued before Judge Landis. The argument will be on the demurrer for the quashing of the In dictment. COST OF LIGHT IN NEW YORK Officers of Gas and Electric Compa nies Give Figures. NEW YORK, April 7. Figures giving the actual cost of producing illuminating gas and electric lighting current were brought out today during the examina tion of officers of gas and electric com panies by the committee of the Legisla ture which is investigating lighting con ditions in New York City. It was testified by President George W. Doane, of the New Amsterdam Company, A Liia.i .ins .concern prouuucu gas at an ac-i tual.costtQf 32.5 cents a thousand cubud .ok,. i90iiiU6 uuc juui vi Lfju- iiiaiib o in duction to the Consolidated Company at S2.SS cents and distributing the rest to consumers at 51 per 100 feet. According to Vice-President John W. Liob, Jr., of the Edison Company, the average actual cost of illuminating cur rent for the last four years was 4.50 cents a kilowatt hour, the net returns from customers being 9.017 cents, the net profit for last year being X2.293.83S. A surplus of more than $6,000,000 and fund of more than 54,000,000 set aside for depreciation, had. Mr. Lieb said, been put Into the plant. Mr. Lieb testified that the net profit of making electricity per kilowatt hour is 1.715 cents. He said the company had paid interest for all the five years of Its existence on 540,000,000 of bonds and gave the net Income of the company for the last five years as follows: 1900. 5334. 60S; 1901. 5624.127; 1902, 946,967; 1903, 51.552,533; 1604. 52.293,838. Auditor Henry M. Edwards, of the Edi son Company, testified that the company had a cash balance on December 31, 1904. of 5SS1.8O0, but that all of the greater part of it has gone back into the plant. The total receipts of the company for last year, he said, were 55,744,207. John A. Sanborn, bookkeeper for the New York Mutual Gas Light Company, testified that his company had supplied illuminating gas to the Consolidated Company under a contract which provided that the Consolidated Gas Company was to pay the entire cost of production and allow the Mutual a profit of 10 per cent above that amount. It had been shown at a previous heariig that the Mutual had supplied gas to the Con solidated Company at 40 cents per thou sand cubic feet. Deducting the 10 per cent .profit would leave the actual cost of production approximately 36 cents per thousand cubic feet. Other companies, which supplied larger quantities, received from 2S to 32 cents per 1000 cubic feet. In the examination of George W. Doane. ' vice-president and general n.anager of the 'New Amsterdam Company, It was devel oped that while the company Is capital ized at 542.277,500, the actuul value of the property held by the company Is 58.i9S.W0. .Mr. Doano explained that the remaining $33,000,000 was estimated value of the good will of the company.

MARINES FOR MONTE CRISTI Another Detachment to Keep Santo Domingo Quiet. WASHINGTON, April 7. The Navy De partment has been advised of the de parture of the cruiser Dixie from Guan tanamo for Monte CristL The Dixie car ries a detachment of about 163 marines, who recently were relieved from duty on the Isthmus of Panama. The Yankee Is at Sanchez, Santo Domingo, with 300 marines. The extra detachment on the Dixie has been sent in order that it might be at the disposal of Admiral Sigsbee, should it be needed in connection with the .commencement of the American Ad ministration of the Dominican customs. HAYTIAN FLURRY IS PAST. Black Republic Convinced That Min ister Powell Meant Well. WASHINGTON, April 7. Haytlan Min ister Leger today called on Secretary Taft to make further representations touch ing the recent report of American Min ister Poweli, to the effect that serious trouble was expected at Port au Prince. MLeger complained that this report had seriously embarrassed the Haytlan of ficers in the negotiation of a loan. He did not make any official demand for the removal, of Mr. Powell, however. Secretary Taft referred, his caller to Acting Secretary Adee, who endeavored to show the Minister that Mr. Powell acted only within the lines of his duty In reporting to the State Department any conditions which he feared might lead to trouble. Moreover, It appeared that there really had been ground for apprehension, growing out of the proposed deportation of the Syrians. The Impression that Mr. Powell had been unduly active in the In terests of the Syrians, and Incidentally had contributed to the agitation against the Haytlan government, was shown to be erroneous, and Mr. Powell's own re ports made It clear -that he actually had been doing his utmost to conserve the peace and to aid the Haytlan government in its effort In the same line. A misap prehension had existed on this point, so that Mr. Powell's status Is likely to be improved., as the outcome of Mr. Leger's visit to the State Department. A mail report from Mr. Powell was re ceived at the State Department today, dated Port au Prince, March 29. the day before the last day of grace allowed the Syrians In the original decree of expul sion, and before it was known that an extension would be granted. It appears that out of 1200 Syrians In Haytl, 400 have left since January 1. The remainder are the naturalized citizens of every Eu ropean country except German', and the diplomatic representatives all have pro tested successfully against the application of. the decree to any Syrians thus natural ized. The decree, therefore, will apply only to native Syrians not holding natu ralization papers. There are about 40 of these people naturalized in the United States who win be protected In their rights. Mr. Powell further reports that he has secured a modification of the order which prevented the Syrian merchants from ob taining through the Custom-House Amer ican goods consigned to them, so that such goods at least may be returned to the shippers. GIRLS' ITRST NAMES. Some Remarks on' Their Use, Proper and. Improper. Atchison Globe. The World quotes a visiting girl as say ing the Hiawatha boys arc too familiar, basing her criticism on the one who called her by her first name the second time he met her. He also tried to kiss her. And, of course, being from Horton, she said that he would have to call on her at least once again before she could permit that! Ed. Bok, who treats his lady-love like they do on the stage and m the story books, has laid down the law that no young woman should permit a young man to be familiar In addressing her In public, at least. Ed. says that no difference how "tight up" they are when alone, they must be careful and deferential In public "Most fellows think," says Billy Sawbuck, "because they have known a girl well and long that they can paw over her, and squeeze her hand and bawl out her first name at sight. This isn't using the girl right, for it cheapens her, and makes her common to all who see and hear." "It Is fine In men to keep women above them in thought and address," says the Old Beau. "Sometimes when Inclined to call a girl by her first name," says a girl, "I hope the boys will think how It sounds and what It may indicate. Sometimes there isn't a thing in it, but more often it suggests a past or present flirtation. A girl who is addressed by her first name before folks, feels common, Just like a brass ring, and the girl with finer ideas would like a diamond. The boys ought not to use the 'phone for familiar talk. I don't like to hear a man bawl my name and talk sweet and pretty over a wire. 1 like a man to be careful and considerate always, particularly so In public I wish when my company la wanted a little note of invitation would be sent. . . . And yet the boys are not the only offenders. I have been amazed to hear girls gather about 'charming men' they had barely met and cheapen themselves by calling them 'Billy' and 'Jack,' fluttering and twittering about them In a manner that would make an English sparrow take something for worms. No one but a care less man and a thoughtless man can stand for familiarities. The better right a man has to know and understand a woman the more gentle and gallant he Is when with her. I like the men some, but I don't like a gosling who doesn't know enough to be wise. We girls are watched and criticised all the while, and the boys could help us by mending their manners. Wc want them to treat us politely and consider ately." IS XOTUS-EATING. (Continued from First Page.) Christian Science Is the religion of chloro form, the apotheosis of anaesthesia, I must not be understood as being opposed to the actual uec of anaesthetics when needed. But I am opposed to the religion having chloroform, the religion whose chief purpose it Is to pretend that we can escape the ills to which flesh is heir. Christian Science Is a hedonism, pure and simple, epicureanism in its worst phase. We have too much alroady of intellectual flabblness. Instead of a religion of chloro form, let us have a religion of duty and effort. Christian Science deratlonallzezs Its followers and Impoverishes and en thralls the Intellect, It may be called witchcraft, teaching as It does of the eecret-minded assassin and malicious ani mal magnetism. Christian Science per mits children- to languish and to suffer and to die. unhelped and unaided by med ical science." Says Boy Has Run Away. E. L.

In fact, the Foreign Office is now consider ing the advisability of issuing a statement along these lines. Emphasis Is laid upon the fact that Baron von Sternberg, the German Ambassador to the United States, in his recent conferences with the author ities at Washington, presented neither note nor memorandum, but his communi cation was entirely verbal. All Germany expects of the United States, says the correspondent. Is that she defend her own interest? in Morocco. This statement Is contradicted by the Paris correspondent of the London Daily Mall, who states that he has It upon the best of authority that Germany has re cently made pressing overtures, not only to the United States, but to the Italian and Spanish governments, to have them Indorse the German vlewj? regarding Mo rocco. The correspondent declares that the proposition was received coldly every where, and that the Kaiser is much dis appointed as a result. MOROCCO'S DOOR NOW OPEN British Ambassador Defends France's Position to Taft. WASHINGTON, April 7.

German-Moroccan commercial treaty, the proposed terms of which are already on their way to Fez. FRENCH POLICY IN MOROCCO Purpose Is to Guard Frontier and Strengthen the Government. PARIS, April 7. Foreign Minister Del casse, answering questions In the Cham ber of Deputies today relative to the status of Morocco, said the policy which the national Intorests of France required her to pursue there had long been fully known. When that policy was conse crated by certain international agree ments, public opinion here and abroad approved of the accords as further guar antees of bringing order and security to Morocco, while at the same time favor ing the interests of the entire world and giving no cause for resentment from any quarter. Continuing, the Foreign Minis ter said: "In dealing with Morocco, Franco has Involved her lengthy frontier along Mo rocco and also sacrifices herself to dam ages resulting from the incessant troubles In the region of Morocco, together with the avowed weakness of the Moroccan government, and Its appeal to our Con suls for support. Wc seek to make the Moroccan authorities understand the practical advantages of having the nom inal precarious authority of the Sultan fortified and extended so that the con dition of the population may be amellor- ated by security and respect given to their customs and beliefs. We put this before them mildly as friends, patiently also, as becomes neighbors, not having need of a precipitate solution.' and we will continue our task with the tranquil ity of people who are wronging no one and who contemplate nothing wrong to the Interests of anyone.

CRUSHED TO DEATH IN RUINS Hundreds of Soldiers, Thousands of Natives Killed by Earthquake. CALCUTTA. April 7. It now appears that 400 of the Seventh Goorkas were killed at the Dharmsala Cantonment by the collapse of a stone barrack building. In consequence of the recent earthquake. In addition, 20 members of the first bat talion and 50 members of the second bat talion of the First Goorkhas were killed, while It is roughly calculated that from 20 to 30 per cent of the native population of the surrounding villages was killed. In addition to the Europeans already reported killed at Dharmsala, seven chll- dren of Europeans are said to have per ished. EARTHQUAKE KILLS HUNDREDS Goorkha Soldiers Buried and Wnole City Laid in Ruins. ' LAHORE, India, April 7. Four hun dred and seventy men of Goorkha reg iments were burled alive as a result of an eathquake at the hill station of Dharmsala, according to the latest in formation from that place. The reports add that it is impossible to rescue the entombod men. The greatest difficulty is experienced In procuring news from Dharmsala. The telegraph staff at the station there was practically wiped out, and a tem porary office has been opened 13 miles from the town, but the facilities are most scanty. The Kangra Valley Is believed to have been devastated, and It Is report ed that the town of Kangra was re duced to ruins, with great loss of life. No confirmation of the report is ob tainable, as the telegraph station at Kangra Is wrecked. A private telegram received here says the whole town of Palampur, con taining about 50.000 inhabitants, has been leveled to the ground, and that not a single building is left standing. This announcement has not been con firmed. Three Missionaries Among Dead. LONDON, April 7.

Here is the secret of success: A child Is born in the neighborhood, the attending physician gets $10; the editor gives the loud-lunged youngster and the "happy parents" a send-off and gets ?0. It is christened; the minister gets 11. and the- editor gets 500. It grows up and marries; the editor pub lishes another long-winded flowery article and tells a dozen lies, lies about the "beautiful and accomplished bride;" the minister gets $10 and a piece of cake and the editor gets tOOO. In the course of time It dies, and the doctor gets from $5 to $100, the minister perhaps gets an other $15. the undertaker gets from $23 to $SQ; the editor publishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge and society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks and gets $0,000. No wonder so many country editors get rich. Punishment for the Doctors. MOSCOW, April "7. Several members of thc .Medical Congress have been arrested. PARIS IN FERMENT Prominent Men Suspected of Being in Plot. MYSTERIOUS WARNING SENT Generals, Deputies and ex-Cabinet Minister Said to Be In Conspir acy Against Republic: Arms and Uniforms Seized. PARIS, April 7. The Investigations of the secret police have not yet determined whether the arms and uniforms recently seized in the suburbs of Paris were In tended for a chimerical African expedi tion or a seditious movenfent against the government. Statements made by Dep uty Rabier tend to show the existence of a plot M. Rabier recently received let ters warning him that a number of deter mined men were planning a surpriso movement. He at first dismissed the let ters, but he recently decided to submit them to Minister of the Interior Etienne, who turned them over to the police. One of the lotters said a prominent Gen eral was at the head of tho movement, which included a number of Deputies and ono former Cabinet Minister. According to this letter, the necessary arrangements, uniforms and equipments were ready and recruiting was going on among the re tired colonial troops. It Is said that Premier Rouvier and oth er officials received similar warnings. However, thevplot, if it actually existed, appears to have been nipped in the bud by the activity of the police. The affair gives rise to much sensational conjecture. Including the rumor printed by the Patrle that the house of Colonel Marchand of Fashoda fame, who is now in Morocco, was searched by the police, which the family and police Indignantly deny. The newspaper makes veiled allusions to many prominent Generals and civilians, who, it Is said, had a hand In the affair. A report was circulated by a minor news agency today that General de Ne grler Is under surveillance, and that the former War Minister, Cavaignac, has been summoned before the authorities in con nection with the Investigation Into the military plot. It Is discredited, however owing to the fact that both the General and M. Cavaignac are abroad. The same agency published a rumor that it was part of the conspirators plan to im prison President Loubet In a house situ ated In the Bods de Boulogne. An officer from the garrison of Roche fort, who sent a warning letter to M. Rabier, has been summoned to appear be fore the investigating officers here, and also three other officers said to be con versant with the affair. The police searched a house in the outskirts of Paris, where rifles were said to have been cof lected, but did not find any. SIGHTING A SHARK. Courting Death in Terrifying Mid Ocean. Sport. Metropolitan. Ahead, not L'OO feet distant, rose the back and dorsal fin of the basking shark that, aside from the triangular shaped Hn, might have been a log awash. But there was no doubt of Its true nature, the slant of the tribe, the huge animal which In the eighteenth century was so common off the New England coust that It constituted a regular fishery, individuals being taken which measured from 50 to 70 feet in length, having a wide range, and found in various seas today. It was this giant that now loomed up ahead; true to Its name basking in the Summer sun. The captain was the harpooner, and took his place in the bow; and the two men rowed slowly and carefully on, following the direc tions of the watchful skipper in the bow. Larger grew the strange object, the biggest of sharks or fishes In the popular sense, taking a colossal sun bath. The dory came up on the port quarter of the fish at a respectful dis tance from the tail, the top of which lay just at the surface fanning the sea. Slowly the dory moved on, the men lift ing their oars carefully, not even feath ering, and when near the shark they gave a long surge and the dory shot quickly alongside. For a second the skipper could have stepped upon this living Island against which the sea was breaking on the windward side, and doubtless the temptation was strong as he hesitated and made a move as though he would Jump, then lifting the harpoon wi,th all his force he drove it into the yielding flesh of the somnolent animal. As the thud of the blow sounded "Starn all I" rang out, the four oars struck the water, and the dory shot backward with a force that nearly sent the helmsman on his face. "Back with her, back hard!" shouted the harpooner, springing astern; not a moment too soon, as the huge mass rolled clumsily, then rose several feet, and out of the water came a colossal tall like a catapult, sweeping from side to side, grinding the wate into foam, fatal to any object that might have been In Its path; then the water swal lowed it up. The dory was headed after the fish and the men began to row in the. direction it hnd taken, to ease off the strain Avhon the end came, and the tow really began. Half the rope was gone, and It was still leaping like a snake from the tub. A slight hitch, a foul, and something would have to give. Two-thirds gone, and still flying and something smok ing. "Down all!" Skipper and oarsmen dropped into the seats and rowers held their oars as tho last coil leaped over, the cabje came taut. lifting the water In a line of silver for 100 feet, then jerked the dory ahead with a force that would have sent any standing man overboard. The tish was away, the race was on. Evidently tho shark was not 50 feet down and rising. It had taken a course due north and was holding It, flying along at the top of its speed, impelled by fear, pain and rage. A sea had picked up and the dory occasionally met "one. passing through under pressure, and a cloud of spume which the landsman at the steer ing oar faced, drenched but filled with the splendid possibilities of this sport and Its excitement. The shark began a long turn, sweeping around in the arc of a DRUNKENNESS A TERRIBLE DISEASE In every large city the mission superin tendents are brought closely into contact with the terrible results of drunkenness, and realize what a fearful curse It Is to human ity.

"The catarrh impaired my hearing and affected my sense of smell, and I feel sure that these will both become normal as the cause disappears. I find that Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey does not only cure my catarrh, but it acts as a tonic-stimulant, and when I get a cough a few doses cure me. "Since I have been taking your whiskey I feel as vigorous as when I was 40 years of age.
