3 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 29, 1901. WILL NOT DISCUSS POLICY GOVERXOR SHAW DOCS XOT SAY WHAT HE "WILL DO IX TREASURY. Speaks of Secretary Cage's Admin istration In the Host Compli mentary Terms. DES MOINES. Dec 2S. Governor Shaw, when seen by the Associated Press cor respondent, denied having given an in terview regarding Secretary Gage's Treas ury policy. On the contrary, he has positively refused to give interviews. He has, however, spoken in most cordial terms of approval of Secretary Gage's administration of the department. The Governor has been very busy all day receiving congratulations by w Ire and mail and entertaining visitors who called to pay their respects. The letter of the President has not yet been received by Governor Shaw, but is expected hourly. Governor Shaw says he positively re fuses to be interviewed at present, in re spect to the asset currency question or in respect to his or Secretary Gage's admin istration of the Treasury Department. Ho said, however, that the nearest he came to an expression of an opinion on the asset currency question was In a speech delivered at Norfolk, Neb., April 22. in which he said: "I have been asked to say something on the subject of bank circulation based on assets. This is not an Issue in poli tics, nor have we any legal provision therefor. I shall, therefore, not attempt to defend it. I am willing, however, to go on record as In favor of an elastic currency, and if I believed there was no other way to secure an elastic currency, other than asset "currency, then I should advocate such an issue. I don't believe It necessary to resort to asset banking In order to provide an elastic currency, I be lieve that a graduated tax on currency based on Government bonds would result in elasticity." Fearing that he had been misunderstood r misquoted, Governor Shaw tonight authorized the Register to publish the fol lowing concerning his alleged commit ment to any definite Treasury adminis trative policy." "I have spoken In the highest and most complimentary terms of Secretary Gage's administration of the office of Secretary of v the Treasury. Further than that I have not spoken and shall not speak. This statement must be given no other Inter pretation than that I do not propose to discuss these problems at this time." Naval Battle Medals. WASHINGTON, Dec 2S. The Naval Board of Awards, In Its report to the Secretary of the Navy, says the work on the medals is going on as rapidly as possible at the Philadelphia mint. The board adopts the reports of Its sub-committee, to the effect that the conduct of the officers and men of the United States ship Yosemlte, In driving the Spanish steamer Antonio Lopez upon the reefs and in driving the Spanish gunboats back under batteries, though creditable, is not worthy of being commemorated by a battle medal. TJsIbk the Kerr Orleans Dock. WASHINGTON, Dec 28. Admiral En dlcott, of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, received, a dispatch today from New Or leans stating that the troubles over the new floating dock have been overcome and that at 10 o'clock next Monday morn ing the dock would b'e used for the first time, the collier Sterling being the first ship to go inside. NORTHERN GOLD FIELDS. A Report on the Cape ITome aai Norton Bay Districts. WASHINGTON, Dec 24. The United States Geological Survey has just issued a report entitled 'A Reconnaissance In the Cape Nome and Norton Bay Regions of Alaska In 1900." This volume includes over 200 pages of printed, matter with numerous maps and illustrations. It Is the result of the field work done by the several parties which worked in the Seward peninsula during the season of 1900. The first part of the report, "A Reconnolssance of the Cape Nome and Adjacent Gold Fields of Seward Peninsula," is written by Alfred H. Brooks, assisted by George B. Richard son and Arthur James Collier. Twenty pages are devoted to an introduction stat ing the character of the work, and to a brief summary of the history of the dis covery and development of the Seward peninsula. Tho Seward peninsula Is the most west ern part of the North American continent, and Its first exploration by white men was from tho West. While the settle ments on the Alaska Coast were still in their Infancy, Russian traders had pushed their way well across tho plains of Sibe ria. In 1648 Simon Dcshnef, a Russian Cossack, discovered. Behrlng Strait, and in 1711 Popof, another Cossack, visited the Straits and brought back rumors of a continent lying beyond. During the suc ceeding century, through the work of such explorers as Behring, Kotzebue and Cook, the Northwest Coast of America gradually became better known. At the time of the purchase of the territory the coast line of the peninsula was fairly well charted and gome Information of the In terior had been obtained. The report In the compilation contains the first accurate maps which had been made In the region. Some 20 pages are devoted to the bed rock geology of the region, which, as the author states, offers many problems which could not be solved during a hasty recon naissance. The sedimentary beds are di vided into three series, the two lower be ing probably pre-Cambrlan, and the up per, which is the gold-bearing series proper, being Paleozoic and possibly in part Mesozolc The surfaceal deposits of the region are described in some detail, because of their Important relation to the placer deposits. The presence of high benches on the mountain slopes Is re garded by the author as evidence that an elevation of the region has taken place In comparatively recent times. He con cludes, however, that this elevation was of a comparatively local character. About 100 pages of the report are given to a discussion of the economic geology of the region. The mineral deposits, as far as now known, are all gold placers. A brief summary Is included of the de velopment of the region between 1898 and 1900. The estimate of the placer gold output in the Seward Peninsula in 1900 is $4,726,500. Under regional descriptions are included an account of the occurrence of gold Jn the various districts of the Seward peninsula. These are classified under the following headings: Nome region, Crip ple and Penny River regions, Slnuk ba sin, Eldorado basin. Bonanza basin, Sol omon basin, Topcock region. Nlukluk ba sin, Kruzgamepa region, Kugruk region, Aglapuk region, Grantley Harbor region, Bluestone region and York region. Of these, the most important is the Nome re gion proper, which has produced by far the e reater part of the gold of the penin sula. The Kugruk and Bluestone regions are briefly described. They are of spe cial Interest because they seem to afford great possibilities for future development. In the York region, mention Is made of the discovery of stream tin during the course of the field work. In the summary of the economic geolo gy, attention is called to the fact that there are two distinct gold belts in the region, which lie north and south of the axis of the Kigluaik Mountains, and may be assigned to certain structural features of the region. The writer draws atten tion to the probability that future discov eries will De made along the strikes of these rocks, which would lie In the north eastern part of the penlnsu!a. The various types of placer deposits are described and classified, and the source and distribution of the gold dlbcusscd. It Is shown that the beach deposits are concentrations by wave action of the gold obtained from the tundra gravels. that the high bench deposits are compar able In origin to the coastal plain gravels. It is suggested that probably, when more careful explorations have been made, some old beach deposits will be found in the present coastal plain. We quotc'as follows from the summary: "In the foregoing an attempt has been made to summarize the existing knowl edge of the placer deposits of the southern part of Seward peninsula. It has been shown that there are a number of differ ent methods of occurrence of gold in the sands and gravels. Some of them, like the creek and beach placers, have been extensively developed; others, like the bench and high bench placers, have hard ly been touched; and there are still other groups, like the old beach placers, of whose existence the prospector Is hardly aware. It has been shown that the placers are rather widely distributed, the actual discoveries being scattered over an area of from 4000 to 5000 square miles. The oc currence of the gold in the bedrock is be lieved to be duo o forces which have acted locally rather than regionally. While there is no affirmative evidence, there seems to be no reason why these condi tions should not have occurred in places outside of tho area under consideration. It is probable that careful prospecting will show that other creeks In the region carry workable gold deposits. While the very rich creeks, such es have already been developed, are probably exceptional, yet it cannot bo assumed that the limits or discovery have been reached within this area, which has been so extensively staked and so little prospected." This part of the report Is concluded by a few notes on the mining methods em ployed in the region, and some sugges tions are made in regard to their im provement. Mr. Collier has contributed a chapter on the climatology of the re gion, and also some notes on the vegeta tion. Mr. Barnard, who had charge of the topographic work, describes the meth ods of survey which were employed. In the appendix is a description of the boun daries of the various recording districts In these gold fields. The report is illus trated by seven plates, including maps and photographs. The southeastern part of the Seward Peninsula Is the subject of a separate paper entitled "A Reconnaissance in the Norton Bay Region," written by W. C. Mendenhall. The work done by the party, which was in charge of Mr. W. J. Peters, was largely exploratory In character, and included the mapping of the three principal streams of this part of the peninsula. These three rivers, tho Fish, the Tubutullk and the Koyuk, rise near the central part of the peninsula and flow south or south east to the waters of Norton Bay. Maps showing- the courses of these streams in detail, and the principal physical features of the section of country through which they flow, accompany the report, which is further illustrated by a geological map, in which the distribution of the dif ferent kinds of rocks is Indicated, those rocks which may be gold or coal-bearing being the subject of special treatment. At the time when the work was done, no valuable gold deposits, either in placer or vein form, were known In this sec tion. Colors of gold, however, are found In each of the streanis studied, and are derived doubtless from rocks outcropping here, which are similar in "character and age to those which furnish the rich and well-konwn placer deposits in the neigh borhood of Nome. Besides the chapters on.the geology and economic products of the region, the re port treats of the methods by which this modern exploratory work is carried out, of the natives who live In the region studied and their characteristics, of tne fish and game and the extent to which they may be relied on as sources of food supply by prospectors and others, and of tho routes and means of transportation throughout the section. Several plates of photographs give graphic ideas of the character of the country. Snnnlto And Sailte Hair Grovrtk. Lancet. The Mahometan religion is divided Into two principal sects the Sunnites and the Shlltes. The members of these sects can be readily discriminated by tho fashion in which the hair grows on their arms, for, while on those of the Sunnites the growth turns downward from shoulder to wrist on the interior side, and upward from the wrist to shoulder posteriorly, the hair on the Shilte arms presents the contrary ap pearance on both sides of the arms. This singular divergence is produced by the manner of -washing their arms as pre scribed by the tenets of the sects respect ively, for while the Sunnites hold it ortho dox to stroke their arms, after washing them, from shoulder to wrist on front, and from wrist to shoulder on the back, the Shlites abhor this practice and stroke their arms in the opposito ways, and hence tho two directions in which the hair Is seen to grow on tho arms of the two sects. Novel Electric Railroad. Mexican Herald. The magnificent old Corniche road, from Nice to the convent of Laghet, passing by La Turble, is to be served by a novel and ingenious traction system. No rails will bb laid. The cars are practically large electric motor care minus accumulators. The motor receives Its electrical power from overhead wires. Central electrical works will psovide the current, which will pass through two parallel aerial wires supported by posts. One wire will be used by the ascending, the other by the descending vehicle. Great economy of en ergy is obtained, besides the gain of all the space and the avoidance of the weight of the accumulators. One feature of the system is tho ease with which the motor cars will make way or pass round any carriage they encounter, the connecting wire being sufficiently long to allow or such deviations. Kindly Ways of n King. Chicago Record-Herald. In Denmark many odd little stories are told of King Christian and his kindly ways, above all of the friendly Interest he takes in the doings of his subjects. Until within quite recent days, when his strength has begun to fail him, he used to spend much of his time In Copenhagen walking about the streets; and nothing pleased him better than to stop and have a chat with any workman he chanced to encounter. Whenever any Dane makes his mark In the world, no matter what his station In life may be or what his views, the King always sends for him. at the first opportunity, that he may know what he is like and have a talk with him. Lit tle wonder that he understands his peo ple or that they understand him! The 1'laRue of Smoke. Philadelphia Press. The steady increase of smoke in the at mosphere of Philadelphia proves that nothing Is being done to suppress this plague. The producers of smoke have apparently come to the conclusion that long immunity Insures them against in terference and that they can continue to vitiate the air as much as their interests demand. If one manufacturing estab lishment or railroad allows Its furnaces or engines to belch smoke every other establishment and railroad argues that it should be allowed to do the same. As a consequence, Philadelphia is rapidly be coming one of the smokiest manufac turing cities in the country. Cause of a Strike. 'WHEELING, W. Va. Dec. 28.

Instances of the Difficulties In the Way of Diplomacy In Dealing; With Germany. BERLIN, Dec, 28. American diplomacy In Berlin, so far as It relates to com mercial controversies, Is hampered by the Interference of the private Interests con cerned. The force of the representations of tho State Department has been con tinually impaired by American business men acting Independently of diplomatic channels. This is the startling purpose of a communication made to the corre spondent of the Associated Press today by a personage closely related to the Foreign Office, from whom something was sought more candid than the Foreign Of- MMOHt-MHM)MM4MMtMtMMMI KING OF SIAM, WHO WANTS TO VISIT AMERICA. ssssR3sHislsBc9issflsssssssB9 sssslHliV VWssBrtTnrT!1!! f faygyitiTisslsMllsssH wtSwHtSSKtSWxtfwjs&'Wii- EvfnssssBsssssssH Hsiil9iBPiss4N9HEHH HHsssssssssBr 9G8sassssssg -. i.

If the bill at present pending In Congress for the entertainment of the Kins of Slam In the United States passu, there Is no doubt that a. cordial invitation will be extended to the Oriental potentate to visit this country- Chulalongkorn I. who la tho monarch of Slam, has notified Hamilton Kin?. United States Consul-General at Bangkok, that he would like to pay a visit to his western neigh, bora In the near future. Ostensibly he will be the honored guest of the Nation, but In reality he will bear hla own expenses for the trip, and' the Congressional appropriation will be made simply to defray the expenses of the state functions Incidental to his entertainment. If the King comes he will travel across the Pa cific in his royal yacht, and will land In San Francisco, where he will be met by a representatUe of the President and a military or naal aid to accompany him across the continent. fice'fl carefully framed statements usual ly are. Naturally, this personage can only speak plainly for publication abroad. When speaking anonymously, he buries tfie essential under the less important statements. He said: "I suggest these memoranda for ex plaining German governmental views on three or four things that are the sub jects of correspondence with our Foreign Office There is the meat question, al ways with US', and likely to be again troublesome in the Spring If our new inspection regulations become imperative. Underlying the meat dispute is, of course, the protective tariff idea in which your statesmen have educated us. But beyond that, how can you blame us If we ex clude canned meats, after the embalmed beef testimony? Public opinion here has most unpleasant recollections of that tes timony, and Is now irritated by the boast ful utterances of representatives of great meat firms, whose attitude Is that, wheth er the meat Is good or bad, Germany must buy It, as It cannot raise enough for their own use. These Arms, I may say, are striving to reach the German Government by influences outside of your State Department. Much of the trouble we are giving American insurance com panies originates In the Intrigues of these great concerns against each other in order to secure a semi-exclusive field. They have filled several cases in our Foreign Office with secret documents against their American rivals, such as so-called ex posures of methods of doing business and attacks on the integrity of their financial operations and investments. Our case against the foreign insurance companies Is upheld by briefs against them prepared by their rivals In their own country." Tho general business situation occupies Increasing attention. As the year closes, careful observers admit that the situa tion grows worse. The recently expressed hopes that an improvement had begun have been disappointed. The railway earnings show a decrease as compared with 1K. A significant fact Is that ISO Berlin foundries, machine shops and elec trical establishments have petitioned the Prussian Ministry for orders, even at prices involving a loss, in order to avoid discharging their laborers. Elsewhere the dismissals of working people, the curtail ment of wages and the shortening of hours of labor continue. The distress in Berlin is shown by the fact that the sales of Christmas trees were 100.000 less than In 1900. The merchants have begun to feel the effects of the lower purchasing powers of the people. A summary of Germany's naval activ ity during the year 1901 shows that four battle-ships were launched and that one armored cruiser, one gunboat, several large torpedo-boat destroyers and four coast-defenso vessels have been remod eled. Other, vessels have also been r? modeled. Sincerity of Rosebery. LONDON, Dec. 2S. It is asserted upon apparently good authority that the Lib eral leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man, has written a letter to Lord Rose bery In the hope of restoring unity among me lJiDerais, dui tnat iord Rosebery de clines to Join his fostunes to those of the party in the present circumstances. Should this statement prove to be cor rect, it will be considered further proof of the sincerity of Lord Rosebery's efforts for party union, and will give him a new claim to the loyalty of the Liberals, and thus strengthen his position as leader. Senator Bepevr's Wedding-. NICE. Dec. 2S. The marriage of Sen ator Chauncey M. Dcpew to Miss May Palmer was celebrated at the American Church here today, following the cere mony of the Catholic marriage service at Notre Dame. Senator and Mrs. Dcpew will sail for New York on the St. Louis from Cherbourg, January 4. THE SCHNURRBARTBIND?. Samples of the Contrivance Used by the Kaiser to Train His Mnstache. Pittsburg Dispatch. Washington A few samples of schnurr bartblnde have been received here from Berlin. But they are not on sale They aro, too precious for inere barter. There may be a big demand for them next sea son, especially if Kaiser Wilhelm decides to build a challenger for the America's cup. He has a large collection of them. He needs one several times a day, else that upward twist of his mustache would soon disappear. He needs a schnurrbart blnde as much as a lady to whom Nature has not been kind In the matter of curls needs a curling Iron. This schnurrbartbinde Is a contraption of silk gauze on a wire frame, two little leather straps and two pieces of elastic web. The samples now hero were brought over by young men who are wearing the ends of their mustaches pointing upward like church steeples. The maker of this toilet article avers that the Emperor Is the Inventor. The schn and all the rest of it Is formed somewhat like a bat with wlng3 extended. When Emperor William summons- his hairdrccc that functionary brings a -binder with him. His Imperial Majesty's mustache is tucked up as he wears it, and the schnurrbartbinde is fastened behind his head. It stays there until the Emperor has had his shampoo and all parts of the face not covered by the contrivance are shaved. Then the binding Is removed and the result Is that wonderful upward twist. For the benefit of those who haven't their dictionaries at hand, the combina tion of 16 letters may be translated as meaning "mustache binder." In Berlin it Is whispered, not spoken aloud, because that would be lese majeste, that the Em peror uses a sort of paste to Jceep the ends of his mustache standing. Roosevelt Criticised. TERRY, Tex., Dec. 2S. M. L. Lock wood, of Zellcnople, Pa., president of the American Anti-Trust League, has given out a statement in which he criticises at length the recommendations made by President Roosevelt for a National law to govern trade combinations. Mr. Lockwood contends that there is no necessity for any further legislation on the subject; that the rigid enforcement of the Sher man anti-trust law would be sufficient ef fectually to suppress and restrain the hurtful trade and Industrial combinations. Biff Suit at Kalispcll. KALISPELL, Mont., Dec. 2S. The larg est lawsuit ever instituted in this country was begun 'today by James A. Coram, who sues the Butte & Montana Commer cial Company for JSS.OCO for notes of that company sold to the Globe National Bank, of Boston, which were bought by him from that institution. He also asks for Interest on the notes. Attachment papers are In the hands of the Sheriff, who will attach all the saw mill property, farm and timber land and town lots owned by the company In this county. The Hclnze Litigation.

Violated a Parole of the Iowa State Prison His Career on This Coast. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec 28. A man arrested at the Union station here Thurs day night, and shot through the foot while attempting to escape, has been identified by the police as James Burke, alias Frank Sheriellff. The police say that Burke held up two women in Salt Lake and robbed them of their diamonds; held up a Reno, Nev., faro game; served a year for robbery in Ogden, Utah; helped hold up a faro dealer In Colorado City, stole a, diamond tray from a Sacramento, Cal., Jeweler, and held up faro banks in Seattle and San Bernardino, Cal. Burke was arrested at Leadvllle, Colo., In 1S93 for stealing $20,000 worth of diamonds from W. G. Pollock, of New York, on a train in Iowa, for which crime he was sentenced to 17 years in the Iowa state prison. He was released on parole, which he violated by leaving Iowa, and was arrested here on suspicion of stealing valises. He will be taken to Iowa. SLAIN' IN COLD BLOOD. "Wealthy New York Farmer Mur- dercdyhy nis Nephews. HUDSON, N. Y., Dec. 2S. One of the moat sensational murder cases ever known In "New York State culminated today In a confession by Harvey Bruce, aged 21, In the form, of a statement to his mother and aunt. The statement Is witnessed by Mayor Harvey and County Treasurer Macy, and tells how the murder of Peter A. Hallenbeck, a wealthy farmer of Grecnport, was committed on Christmas eve by Harvey Bruce, Willis Burton and Fred Vanwormer, aged 20, 23 and 26. nephews of the murdered man. The full purport of the confession will not be made public until Monday at the Coro ner's inquest, but enough has been told to show that the prisoners, who all live in Kinderhook, IS miles from the Hal lenbeck home, drove to the scene of the crime, went to the rear of the house In the moonlight, rapped on the door, and when tho old man opened It shot him to death, .firing 13 shots, 11 of which pene trated the tody. The crime was wit nessed by Hallenbeck's wife and aged mother, the other members of the family being a't Christmas eve services. Until this Fall the Vanwormer family lived In a house in Grecnport, mortgaged to Hallenbeck. Because he thought the boys troublesome, Hallenbeck forced the mortgage and the family was evicted. This was 'the basis of the Ill-will held against Hallenbeck. The mother of the Vanwormers and friends tried hard by testimony before the Coroner to establish an alibi for them. The officials had strong circumstantial evidence against them. WILCOX CHARGED WITH MURDER. North Carolina Suspect Guarded by Navr.l Mllitin. ELIZABETH CITY, N. C, Dec. 23 The presence of a squad of naval militia, with loaded carbines. Is all that prevents an attack upon the Jail in which is confined James Wilcox, accused of the murder of Nellie Cropsey. Threats of lynching were freely made today, and the feeling against the young man continues bitter. During the day armed guards have kept all pe destrians a block away from the Jail. To night the saloons were closed by order of the Mayor. Solicitor Ward today had it warrant sworn out charging Wilcox with murder. A preliminary hearing will be held Wednesday when Wilcox probably will be held for the grand" jury, which will meet in- March. Wilcox is probably the most unconcerned man in the town. He sits in his cell making cigarettes and talking with his guards. He sa,ys he has no ear of lynching. JnpKle of Justice. KNOXVILLE. Tenn., Dec. 2S. The ques tion of the possession and disposition of the man supposed to be Harry Logan, the .alleged Montana outlaw, has resolved Itself Into a juggle of Justice. A local Justice of the Peace was to have had the alleged Logan before him today on pre liminary hearing, charged with shooting two Knoxville patrolmen. The jail au thorities refused to allow the man tolcave the jail. Federal authorities tried to serve warrants on the prisoner, but the jail au thorities refused to allow the action. A second Justice of the Peace went to the jail and held the prisoner to the next term of the Criminal Court on the charge of bringing stolen goods into the state. Redskin Murderer Captnrcd. BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 2S. Detective Mur phy, of the Butte police, today made an Important capture, landing a man behind the bars who is much wanted by the Canadian authorities Tcm Le Mack, alias Joe La Mack, an Indian, who has been hunted all through the Northwest as 'the murderer of three men In Canada. The police have been on the lookout for Le Mack for the last month, one of his tribe having betrayed to the authorities the murderer's presence in this city. Le Mack Is wanted for killing his father-in-law and two other men. The redskin priboner will bo held awaiting advices from the Cana dian authorities. Denver Grand Jury at "Work. DENVER, Dec. 2S. The grand jury to day returned indictments against three stock-broking concerns on the charge of operating bucket-shops, in violation of the law of the kate against gambling. The firms are the John G. Morgan Brokerage Company, the W. B. Ray Brokerage Com pany and the L. M. Davidson Brokerage Company. Sol Dreyfuss, who was Indicted for an alleged attempt to bribe the grand Jury, was arrested today. It Is understood that the proprietors of several large office buildings have been indicted for failing to comply with the law regarding fire escapes. Verdict In the Cropsey Case. ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. Dec. 2S. Tho verdict of the Coroner's jury upon the death of Miss Ella Cropsey, whose body was found in the Pasquotank River yes terday, wa? read today in front of the Coroner's office to the people of Elizabeth City. Because of feeling against James Wilcox, the sweetheart of the dead girl, the publication of the verdict In this city was deferred in the hope that the Intense excitement would have subsided by to day. The lack of sympathy for Wilcox was marked in the large crowd gathered about the Coroner's office to hear the reading of the verdict. Mou Cheated the Law. RALEIGH, N. C, Dec 28.

Arthur Meyer must be classed with "men who have risen," though it Is not so certain that Dr. Smiles would hold him up as a model for the Imitation of our youth. The wonderful thing about him is that he has been able to go on rising In spite of Incidents In his career which would have damned any ordinary man forever. There is nothing about Arthur Meyer's origin aqd parentage in "Vapereau," or any other work of reference: but the truth Is that his father hawked sponges in Paris, and that he himself began life as the valet de chambre of a deml-mondaine. A poor start In life. If ever there was one. But It has not kept M. Arthur Meyer back. He has risen to be not only the valued friend of the houte cocotterlc, but the honored guest of the best royalist sa lons of the Faubourg Saint Germain. He goes there by the name bestowed upon him by a great lady of "L'Homme du Monde." and l'homme du monde does not menn the man of the world; It means the Man of Fashion. After M. Meyer had been a valet de chambre he became a stockbroker's clerk. He made money and went into Journalism, originating in the Paris Journal those "Echos de Partout" which are now one of the most characteristic features of the Gaulols. H was on a good many other papers before the control of the Gaulols came Into his hands. But the most mem orable Incident of his career on the pres3 has been his duel with Edouard Drumont. There could be no greater proof of his cleverness than the J act that he has lived down that duel, in which he notoriously fought unfairly. The meeting was the result of an attack on Meyer in La France Julve. The weap ons were swords, and the use of the Iert hand was forbidden. Yet when Dru mont came on Meyer caught hold of his sword with his left hand, at the same time lunging with his own. and prodding Dru mont In the thigh. It was a gross vio lation of the rules. Drumont broke his own sword and refused to fight any more, exclaiming: "Dirty Jew! Pig of a Jew! Take the Jew back to the Ghetto!" They did not, of course, take the Jew back to the Ghetto, but they did take him before a magistrate, who fined him 200 francs for assault and battery, his own seconds, even, not having a word to say In his defense. One of the witnesses who gave evidence against him wasAIphonse Dau det. The consequence of the incident is that M. Meyer Is, as the duelists say, "Outside honor." Any one of us Is at liberty to insult him in the grossest man ner, and then refuse to fight him on the ground that he is the sort of person with whom honorable men do not fight. Many of his political opponents have availed themselves of this privilege, publishing their reasons. An eminent Dreyfusite did so after kicking him out of his hotel and half way down the street at Rennes, call ing him "Assassin!" the while. But M. Arthur Meyer has lived down that episode, as he lived down the opprobrious appella tion "Julf Immonde" flung at him by the Due d'Orleans. whose cause he serves. He has a new hat and a new motor car, and he still goes peacocking through the salons as the Man of Fashion. On the whole he must be admitted to be rather a poor man of fashion; but there is no doubt that he is an uncom monly good editor. You may disagree with his politics, you may consider his journalistic methods unscrupulous, you may smile to see the persecutors of Drey '------'-- Dr. L.

"From my experience with Peruna I have found it very efficacious to cure these diseases, and I recommend it." L. S. SMITH. M. D. Dr. Mary Smith.

For over 31 years my efforts have been spent among sick women especially and among all the I remedies I have used, none excel Peruna, and I believe that it Is the best and safest medicine to give a woman suffering from ovarian trouble, inflammation, and profuse menstruation. "I would not be doing my duty as a physician did I not advise its use. I know by experience that Peruna cures sick women, and I therefore gladly in dorse it." DR. MARY SMITH.
