SIGNED UNKNOWN PAPERS
Barkeeper Induced to Execute Ap
plication, Character of Which
He Was In Ignorance and Name
Used Without Permission.
9AN FRANCISCO, Aug. lS.-United
States Deputy Attorney A. P. Black ar
rued before Judge DeHaven this morning
in an endeavor to show the Jury that
Dr. Perrin and John A. Benson conspired
!o defraud the Government In securing
valuable timber lands In Tehama County.
A map of the county of Tehama, with
:olored sections showing the holdings of
Perrin and those applied for In
lummy applications, was produced and
referred to throughout the argument.
Mr. Black showed the Jury land cov
ered by the application of RIchison, an
Dakland bartender, who did not even
unow the character of the document
which he signed, and later produced a
non-mineral affidavit purporting to come
from RIchison. but which in reality, he
said, was sent by Benson.
Pointing dramatically at Benson, Black
aid vehemently:
"This document shows on its face that
that man sitting at the end of the table,
there, has been guilty of the blackest of
rrimes and would stop at nothing to
carry out his nefarious schemes."
TRAINING THE EYESIGHT
Long Visions of Indians and White
Men Contrasted.
Popular Science Monthly.
Many people believe, because they have
read in books, that the sight of the
Indians was extraordinarily keen, and
that they were able to descry objects at
i greater distance than was possible for
white men.
This la an error, If the assertion is to be
taken without qualification. - All savages
have eyes trained to see those things
that are necessary to their preservation
game and enemies. Their sight Is not
by nature more acute, than that of the
white' man. but In some respects it is
better trained. The whites who lived
among the Indians and were compelled
to defend themselves against their ene
mies saw Just as far as their -enemies.
It may be affirmed as a general principle
that there is nothing a civilized man
cannot do better than a savage. The lat
ter uses his reason to. aid his Instinct:
the former makes his Instinct subservient
to his reason.
It is well known that sailors are able
to discern objects at sea at a greater dis
tance than landsmen, but we .have to do
here with a faculty that any one can ac
quire. The Indians did Just what the
whites who lived among them did who
subsisted on game and were obliged to
be on the constant lookout for enemies.
Both had acquired not merely the power
to discern objects, but also training In
the Interpretation of the signification of
those objects that came within visible
range.
It is probable, for reasons given above,
that not only the Indians as well as all
tribes living on the same social level,
but also the backwoodsmen, retained
their sight to a more advanced age than
Is now generally the case; but that the
eye of the former was naturally more
powerful than that of the present gen
eration or that of men in general is un
supported by trustworthy evidence. There
Is no doubt that a child born with nor
mal eyes in one of our large cities can
see objects Just as far off and define
them Just as accurately with proper
training as a person who never saw a
dozen houses together.
It is well known, too. that what are
sometimes called the lower senses touch.
taste, and smell are often of extraordi.
nary acuteness in civilized man as the
result of training. If. therefore, any of
the senses of our urban population is
feebler than that of the dwellers In the
rural districts. It is not due to an in
herent weakness, but to improper or in
judicious use.
ARE FARMS TOO LARGE?
The Smaller the Acreage the More
Thorough the Tillage.
Wall Street Journal.
The question of the size of the farms
is receiving attention in the West where
there are many who believe that farms
are still too large. These people assert
that a well-tilled farm of a smaller num
ber of acres is what the country needs,
on account of the increased amount of
labor which larger acreage requires, the
Increased capital required to work It, t
and the increased taxes. From the
standpoint of the productive use and
cost of working capital they are no
doubt right.
Even though the capital requirements
were the same for a smaller as for a
larger farm, the concentration of its use
upon the land would -be much more ef
fective on the smaller acreage than on
the larger. The wisdom of this lesson
has been learned from the foreigner who
knew how to succeed on the smaller acre
age In Europe. Here he follows the same
general plan and farms a small piece of
land Intensively and contentedly. He
need not bother about the labor prob
lem, for his own family constitutes a la
bor supply and the size of that deter
mines the number of acres that he can
successfully cultivate. Ills success In ac
quiring ownership proves that he Is right
in probably nine cases out of 10, and that
the farmer who tries too much acreage is
the man who is mistaken under existing
conditions, however correct he may have
been In the early stages of our agricul
tural history, when land was less expen
sive, outlay for buildings, implements
and Improvements much smaller In pro
portion to gross income, and the working
force larger on account of the greater
size of the family and the tendency of
its members to remain at home to a much
later age. All these Influences affect
tho size of the farm.

UNITED STATES COINS
Facts In Relation Thereto That Are
of General Interest.
Washington, D. C. Letter in the Brook
lyn Eagle.
Many thousands of dollars in standard
silver "cart wheels," halves, and quarters
are being shipped to Southern bankers
now. They are to be used In paying ne
groes working in the cotton fields. The
Southern negro Is suspicious of fresh, un
folded Treasury notes, and prefers his
wages in silver, the cheerful Jingle of
which can be heard in his pocket. The
government pays the express charges on
shipments of silver from the Treasury.
When It accumulates in the banks, which
it will In due time, the bankers must pay
the cost of shipping the bulky wealth to
a subtreasury for exchange.
There seems to be no end ,to the ways
and means employed by Ingenious mer
chants and promoters in the effort to use
Vnlted States coins as an advertising me
dium. The authorities are constantly
putting a stop to various devices planned
with the Idea of getting free advertising
at the expense of the Treasury.
A new way of using the government
coins to exploit a commercial scheme has
Just been brought to the attention,, of
Treasurer Treat. In a remittance from a
Southern bank were found a number of
silver dollars, on one side of which was
pasted the printed card or label of a busi
ness firm. As the paper on which the
notices are printed is cut a little smaller
than the coin and stuck on with adhesive
glue, the removal of the paper is made
with great difficulty.
The inventor of the scheme evidently
counts on doing an extensive business, as
at the bottom of the card Is printed
"Copyrighted." This scheme. If permit
ted, would make all such pieces simply
tokens for advertising purposes. The de
partment will not receive money so de
faced, but will return it at the sender's
expense for cleaning: otherwise the coin
would have to.be specially treated by the
department for the removal of the paper
before It could be reissued.
About once in so often It becomes nec
essary for the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue a general circular of warning for
the benefit of coin collectors who have
notions that the government Is in , the
market for rare coins, and will pay fancy
prices for old and scarce specimens. Late
ly a report has been circulated In the
press that certain tssues or continental
currency are as rare as black pearls, and
about as valuable.
This innocent paragraph has brought
a flood of letters to the department, from
holders of this currency, who are wUlins
to sell out at pearl prices. The depart
ment Is sending to such hopeful applicants
copies of the following circular:
"The various issues of continental cur
rency were never redeemable by the
United States, as reorganized under the
Constitution. By the act of August 4.
1790, it was receivable at the Treasury In
subscriptions to a loan at the rate of $100
in continental money for $1 In specie. By
the act of March 3, 1797. it was declared
that said money should be receivable as
above until December 31, 1797, and no
longer.
"It will be seen at once from the above
that such currency has no money value,
even if the notes be genuine."
"The government never pays any premi
um on currency, no matter how old and
valuable it may be to collectors." said
Treasurer .Treat. "The Treasury will
pay the face value of any United States
obligation, no matter what the date of
Issue may be. But we make no distinc
tion between the various issues of coin
and currency of the United States, nei
ther receiving nor paying a premium In
any case.
"None of the coins of the United States
have been "called In." All statements to
the contrary are erroneous, and their ori
gin and purport unknown. Application for
list of premium coins should be addressed
to some of the coin dealers to be found
In all large cities. Notes Issued by the
so-called Confederate States of America,
and by the various State banks, are not
redeemable by the United States."
Finally Got His Money's Worth.
Philadelphia Record.
A -Market-street penny amusement
palace was the scene of an encounter
between a patron and one of the pen-ny-ln-the-slot
machines. The man had
wandered into the place in search of
amusement, and after loading up with
pennies he started to go the rounds or
the different machines. He listened
to popular songs on the phonograph,
looked at moving pictures, got
weighed, had his fortune told, tried
his skill at rifle practice, and then
turned his attention to an electric ma
chine. He dropped in a cent, then
grasped the handles and pulled, but
there was no current. He shook the
handles and pulled them out and
pushed them in repeatedly, but still no
shock. Then Just as he had the han
dles pullod out to their limit, the elec
tric current suddenly found Itself and
the patron got the full force of it.
The handle refused to be pushed back
and the man did some lively Jumping
and squirming around until one of the
attendants came to his rescue.
A Xew Electric Battery.
Milwaukee dispatch In N. Y. Herald.
President Underwood, of the Erie;
President Hughltt. of the Northwest

Company, and other big men In the
financial world are among the chief
stockholders in a $5,000,000 company
which has been organized here to revo
lutionize the heating and lighting
business of the world.
Frank C. Curtis, of Milwaukee, has
invented a new battery, with a secret
chemical compound, which he says will
make it possible to light houses from
their individual plants, to Jun autos
without great quantities of gasoline
and to do many other things. The in
vention has been In use on the North
western Railway and Pullman cars for
the last three months and has proved
a thorough success, it is said..
The factory will be established here,
and all the stock has been subscribed
by the big railroad men who made the
experiment possible.

See Victory Ahead. "
Victory to the striking telegraphers, say
the erstwhile unemployed local key
pounders, is spelled in the action of Presi
dent Small in issuing an order for a gen
eral strike. It means that the operators
who remained at their keys until the
strike was officially sanctioned will now
Join the ranks of the strikers and still
further cripple the service. One' of the
strikers said yesterday:
"This action of President Small is of
vital concern to our cause. It gives us a
general grievance and Involves every
member of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union In the country. With, this official
Indorsement of our strike, all we need to
insure a successful outcome is to arouse
public sympathy in our behalf. This sym
pathy we already have, but we are tak
ing steps to arouse that sentiment and
make it effective. In our preliminary
canvass today we received all kinds of
assurance of assistance, both moral and
financial, and wa feel that we cannot
lose."
Receive Encouraging Reports.
Encouraging reports were received by
the strikers yesterday from all operators
at Salem, Albany, Eugene, Corvallls,
Roseburg, Medford and Ashland. Sec
retary Morgan, of the local commercial
telegraphers, went to Oregon City yes
terday, where he succeeded In communi
cating with the operators at other Wil
lamette Valley and Southern Oregon
points, and he was assured positively that
not a single man would come to Portland
to replace the strikers, regardless of
what wages might be offered them.
" At Oregon City the Western Union of
fice was found closed, the manager,
Charles Springer, having come to this
city to accept a position in the company's
office here. The fact that Springer had
accepted employment as a strikebreaker
had evidently become known to union
men in the "city by the falls," for Sec
retary Morgan found the door to the
telegraph office in that city decorated
with a placard having the following in
scription: "This ofJ3ce has been closed. The op
erator, Charles Springer, is 'scabbing' in
the AVestern Union office In Portland."
Anticipating a long and stubborn con
test, the strikers are preparing accord
ingly. Funds are being subscribed for de
fraying the expenses of .the struggle.
With the contribution of $200 by Dan
McAllen as a nucleus, several smaller
subscriptions were reported by Secretary
Morgan yesterday. A number of the
strikers themselves, who could afford It,
have subscribed $J0 each to the fund,
which will be disbursed only for the
actual necessities of the campaign and
for - the necessary, conveniences of the
strikers. ' "
Have Secured Headquarters.
During the day the strikers who are
not doing picket duty are assembled at
the headquarters in the Esmond Hotel.
Yesterday several rooms were engaged
for a month and these wit! be placed at
the disposal Of the improvident members
of the union. Orders for meals will also
be given the strikers on application to the
officers of the union.
Secretary Morgan and Gus Prag. repre
senting the strikers, called at the City
Health Department in tho City Hall yes
terday afternoon and lodged a complaint
against the Western Union Telegraph
Company, alleging the maintenance of
unsanitary quarters at the main office,
Trdrd and Stark streets. The complaint
was received, subject to Investigation by
one of the deputy health officers, in the
same manner as all complaints are treat
ed. This move by the strikers Was sug
gested by the action of the company,
which has Installed cots In the building,
where several strikebreakers sleep.
Tjn relation to the pending telegraphers'
strike, the family of Attorney J. Hen
nessy Murphy represents a house di
vided against itself. Murphy Is a firm
believer In unions and his sympathies are
strongly with the strikers. But Mrs.
Murphy views the situation differently.
She has been' employed for 30 years as
operator for the Western Union, and
when the strike was called Monday night
she remained at her post. She Is still
operating a key, having resisted the en
treaties of her husband and her former
associates, the striking telegraphers, to
abandon the position. Through the as
sistance of Manager Dumars, Mrs. Mur
phy Is zealously guarded from the
strikers, whose influence it is feared
might cause her to desert the position in
whibh she is so badly needed. For the
present Mrs. Murphy is being provided
with accommodations at the Hotel Port
land.
Dumars Does Not Complain.
"We have no complaint to offer,"
said Manager Dumars, of the Western
Union, last night, "except our apparent
inability to get the needed protection
for the men we have employed to de
liver messages. The policemen are all
In sympathy with the strikers and do
not give us the necessary protection.
Today I appealed to Mayor Lane and
was assured that we would in the
future receive adequate protection.
The striking telegraphers and the
former messenger boys are allowed to
assemble in large numbers In front of
our office to the malicious inter
ference of our business. They have
even gone so far as to cause some of
their agents to apply for employment
as messengers. Not knowing Just who
they were, we have employed a few
only to find that they purposely ap
plied for the work for the sole pur
pose of gaining possession of messages
which they deliberately destroyed In
stead of delivering them. But we are
acquainted with these methods and
have replaced the originals In. such
cages with duplicates, copies of which
we always have. We now have a com
petent and reliable force of messengers
and are making a fairly prompt and
reliable delivery of all messages."
Detectives as Messengers.
That the Western Union office is
having some of its messages delivered
through the services of local detective
agencies Is charged by members of the
striking Messenger Boys' Protective
Union.
"We consider this the limit of un
fairness," said one of the union mes
sengers, yesterday. "The terms we
have demanded are only fair and Just
and should be conceded by the com
pany instead of turning their busi
ness over to private detectives. Ther
are a number of us who have beec
supporting our mothers from our earn
ings and are entitled to this work.
The company Is paying considerable
more to these men for doing the work
than it would be paying us if it paid
all that we have asked."
Among the men delivering messages
for the Western Union yesterday was
a man not less than 65 years of age.
He was not strong physically, and his
step was faltering and unsteady, but
he was nevertheless the object of
much contempt at the hands of mes
senger lads assembled on the different
street corners.
"There goes a scab for you," chor
used a number of the boys as the old
gentleman tottered down Third street
towards the Worcester building. Two
or three of the striking message-carriers
started in pursuit' of the strike
breaker, but had not gone far when
they were recalled by some of their
associates, who would not permit any
Indignity to be done the elderly messenger.-
"Let the old man alone," advised one
of the number, 'f we are going to
pick onto anybody let's tackle some
body more nearly our age. Even if he
is 'scabbing' there is no doubt but
that he needs the money and $3 a day
means a good deal to him."
Benefit Ball for Strikers.
As a further means for adding to their
strike fund the Portland telegraphers are
making arrangements for a grand ball
that will be given at Merrill's hall next
Thursday night. A mass meeting for the
purpose of arousing public sympathy is
being planned for the Exposition Grounds
Sunday afternoon, August 25.
Although the Portland union of the
commercial telegraphers Is not affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor,
a committee representing the striking
operators was welcomed at ia meeting of
the Federated Trades Council last night.
After a statement had been made by
members of the strike committee, the
Council unanimously adopted a resolu
tion instructing its executive board to aid,
advise and in every way assist the teleg
raphers. In the meantime the teleg
raphers announced that they would take
steps to become affiliated with the Oregon
branch of the American Federation of
Labor. Delegates will be named to the
Federated Trades Council which is ex
pected to officially Indorse the strike at
Its next meeting.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. The course of
today's stock market was marked by ex

slightly reduced Bcale and limited in the
main to active issues.
The lowest prices of the day were
touched in the final hours, when per

Aside from the encouragement which
Wall street saw fit to derive from the
forthcoming public speeches of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, the day's
developments were for the most part ad
verse. '
Early in the session reports coupled
the name of a, very large Western manu
facturing concern with Impending in

HID CONFEDERATE SEAL
Jeff Davis Bodyguard Will Carry
Secret to His Grave.
Richmond dispatch In New York Tribune.
James H. Jones, a negro, who was Jef
ferson Davis' bodyguard and valet, ar
rived here from Washington, D. C, and
was met by a delegation of Confederate
veterans. Mr. Davis intrusted the Con
federate seal to Jones just before Rich
mond was evacuated and . told him to
hide it. He did so.
General West, of Atlanta, Commander
Callahan, of Washington, and Captain
McMahon, of Athens, Ga., representing
the Confederate veterans, have juet of
fered him $15,000 to produce the great
seal. Jones replied that, no money could
tempt him to betray tho trust reposed
In him by Jefferson Davis, and said tht
the secret would be, burled with him.
Jones went immediately from the train
to see Mrs. Hayes, the surviving member
of Jefferson Davis' family, and attended
the unveiling of the Davis monument,
where thousands of veterans shook hands
with the old man. A post of honor In the
parade was given to him. He holds a
place in the United States Senate.
After the offer had been made and de
clined, the man who has kept1 the secret
all these years said:
, "It was the general belief for many
years that the great seal of the Confed
eracy was captured by the Northern
Army when it swooped down on this city,
and that it was turned over as one of
the trophies of war to the War Depart
ment In Washington. Such was not the
truth, and the fact Is that the Union
Army got powerful little of value In Rich
mond which belonged to the Confederate
Government. When Mr. Davis realized
that It was only a short time until Rich
mond would fall, he sent me with Mrs.
Davis God bless her memory! and the
children to Charlotte, N. C. I had about
$13,000,000 under my care, and hauled it

Directing the Saddle Horse.
F. M. Ware, in Outing Magazine.
Caress must promptly reward perform
ance, and the voice be never used the
horse does not understand your words,
and if you are angry your tones will only
further disconcert him while if you are
eternally talking to him, you simply ren
der him careless and Inattentive. Caress
the spot you have just addressed, nor
think that he understands a pat on the
neck, as reward for something he has
Just done with his hind quarters. Go
direct to the spot, and where two parts
have been addressed, caress them both,
as in backing, the hind quarters, and the
sides where the legs came, etc. and the
same thing in biting do not pat the neck
If you asked him to yield his jaw. "Don't
reward your daughter for your son's suc
cessful geography lesson" that la the
idea in a nutshell.
