At the tall of the procession came the

aged person of a clerical aspect, but
not too clerical. The severity of his
ministerial garb was tempered by
a vasalined smilo and a saucy twirk of
'the larboard side-whisker. This gen
tleman was being convoyed by eight
or ten of the most spectacular of the
lady attendants. He wore a smile like
a gash in an August watermelon.
"U'ot's been doin'?" inquired the

"The Rev. Hyphen J. Sidewinders, D.

HAULED OVER GOALS
Governor of Cameroons Forges
Girl's Title.
ENOBLES BERLIN BARMAID
Takes Her to West Africa and In
troduces Her as Cousin in Soci
ety, but Fraud Is Discovered
and Charges Are Preferred.
BERLIN, Feb. S. (Special.) The
Supreme Disciplinary Court for Colo
nial Officials has pronounced definitive
judgment in the case of Jeskow von
Puttkammer, ex-Governor of the Cam
eroons. Defendant, who belongs to
one of the most distinguished Prussian
families, and is closely allied with
the Bismarcks, took out with him to
West Africa as lady companion a gar
dener's daughter, named Ecke, whoso
acquaintance he had made in a Berlin
bar.- In the Cameroons he introduced
this lady to what passes there for so
ciety as his cousin. When she left he
made her. out a pass in the name of
Haroness von Eckhardtstein, and a
charge of forgery in connection with
this was the gravest of the accusations
made against him.
He was also charged with favoring
n particular company's operations in
the colony and with interference with
the course of justice, which was seen
in a letter which he wrote to the
judge-, impressing upon nim the in
ferior value of native evidence. The
minor disciplinary court at Potsdam
did not take a very serious view of
the case, and contented itself with or
, dering a reprimand and a fine of J1200.
Against this judgment both the Colo
nial Office, which had pleaded for dis
missal from the service, and Herr von
Puttkammer himself, appealed.
Fresh evidence was laid before the
court of highest instance with regard
to the ex-Governor's "cousin," who.
It was shown, was an experienced and
accomplished adventuress with a re
markable career behind her of fleecing
gilded youth. Several . of fleers swore
to their belief that- she was entitled
to the predicate of nobility, as did also
the defendant himself, who added that
ho was not aware that her name was
not Von Eckhardtstein till she was
fined at Dresden for calling herself so
after her return to Germany. The
court was not long in coming to the
view that the first Judgment had been
too severe, and, remitting the fine. It
ordered Hcrr von Puttkammer to be
ns4T 'Tf TAIL OF THE!
The hurried civilization of a. great city,
which produced the self-rising opera
hat and the taximeter cab, is respon
sible for the preacher who plays for
the headlines among which yon depart
ing party is a conspicuous example.
"Back home In the tall rye a preach
er didn't have much to do. All he had
to be was a combination of trained
nurse, bill collector and reception com
mittee on weekdays, and on Sundays
an illustrated tlmecard to a warmer
climate. He had to sit up with the
sick and down with the deacons, both
of which being hard jobs to fill with
out mlscuing. He was reasonably cer
tain of getting half his salary in real
money, and the rest in produce and
dry fodder and moldered prunes and
red woolen wristlets' and other com
modities peculiar to parsonage pound
parties. .
"You knew just by the way he wore
his whiskers whether he was a con
ductor on the Eleventh Hour Accom
modation of the Methodist Road or of
the Congregational Limited or the
Presbyterian Royal Blue or the Baptist
Tank Line, with through service Via
the Water Gap.
"I guess there may still be a few
of the orthodox XXX-brand-for-family-use
preacher in the back wards of the
Red Timothy country, but there's not
many of him under the Main Top.
That kind wouldn't make such an
awful hit here. His congregation on
emerging would look like the grand
jury going to dinner.
"In the feverish nietropolish, Larry,
the ecclesiastical pippin with the' largest
displacement is the one who knows the
newest parlor tricks. His tonnage is
based on his repertoire. A preacher who

LAND RESTORED TO ENTRY

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
Feb. 8. On January 9 President Roose
velt signed a proclamation eliminating
from the Blue Mountain National forest
approximately 130,000 acres of land
which is found to be of a character not
suited to forestry purposes. The bulk
of this land lies in the north central
part of Grant County, and the balance
in southern Umatilla and the northern
extremity of Harney. The date when
this land will be thrown open to entry
has not been fixed, and may not be an
nounced for a month or more.
Most of the land eliminated is open
grass land, but there are some few iso
lated tracts - containing good timber.
The latter will be subject to entry
solely under the timber and stone act.
Following is a complete list of the

PARIS. Feb. 8. (Special.) There is
another deficit to be liquidated in Paris
as a result of the law of separation of
church and state. Before the law was
passed the whole funeral service of Paris
was In charge of the churches. They not
merely provided for the religious cere
monials, but they undertook the entire
charge of the obsequies. The mourning
"pomp" with which it is the Parisian
custom to cover the house which death
has visited, the external mourning dec
oration of the churches, the carriage and
the coffining of the dead, was the busi
ness of the church. There were fixed
charges for these funeral expenses, vary
ing from for the humble funeral to
$2000 for the stately public demonstra
tion. When the law passed, the business ex
ternal to the religious ceremonials was
assigned to the municipality of Paris,
It went into the undertaking business;
and though, as a certain journal here re
marks with morbid wit, there was no
falling off In the business, for deaths
were some thousands more numerous in
Paris in 1907 than in 1906, the municipality
has lost $240,000 on the funerals. Various
explanations are forthcoming. One is
that free funerals have -become more nu
merous; but that is not accepted as suf
ficient. The real reason-seems to be that
the Parisians are cutting down the ex
penditure on civil "pomps'" to a minimum
in order to prevent the separation law
depriving the churches of one source of
their revenue.
Whatever the explanation, there is to
be a new tariff for funerals. Eleven dol
lars is now to be the lowest charge 'for
the interment of any citizen who is not
to go to his grave as a pauper; while
$3000 is to be the charge for the imposing
demonstration. But the number of
Frenchmen who have no objection to
having their friends buried at the cost
of the ratepayers is steadily increasing in
Paris, and the number of Catholics who
are restricting their expenditure as far
as possible to the ceremonials within the
churches is also growing. The municipal
budget for funerals In Paris, therefore,
will be increasingly difficult to manage.

JACKSON, Ky.. Feb. 8. The funeral
of Judge James Hargls, who met death

noon today , in the little family burial

of steel and mahogany.
Nearby are tho graves of Judge Har

bullet wounds inflicted by implacable
enemies.
' The funeral cortege of the murdered
leader was a unique spectacle. Tho
body was taken across the- "town bend '
of the river by a bridge, and there
placed upon a push car and rolled down
the tracks of the Lexington & Eastern
Railroad for half a mile. Thence it
was transferred to a push car on "a
narrow gauge railroad of a lumber
company and rolled nearly a mile more,
crossing tho river again on the Pan

about 300 yards to the grave.
Tiie attendants walked, forming a

which served as a hearse. There is no
hearse in the town and" neither is there
an undertaker in the region.

haughty young noblemen met? I hate to
tell you, Larry, what did happen. There
was no sword thrust straight through
the center lacings of the stays, no firing
of deadly dueling pistols, no seconds, no
challenges. Nothing of the kind. The
Prince de Sagan passed out a sample of
the same brand of physical repartee that
the Hon. John Sharp Williams recently
used on the Hon. David de Armond. He
re'ached forth, and with his princely fin
gernails, he scratched nearly all the
Bloom of Young face paint from his
cousin's right cheek. Whereupon the
Count retaliated by taking a careful aim
at the lower part of the Prince's counte

places. And then oh, Larry, think of
the shame of it! they had one another
arrested by a common John Darm in

them both in an accursed police court."

LONDON, Feb. 8. (Special.) The dis
appearance of the Crown Jewels from
Dublin Castle has now become a state
scandal of the first magnitude. The
stories that are current everywhere here
as to the circumstances are almost in
crediblein fact, would be positively in
credible if any other institution in the
world were in question except Dublin
Castle.
The mystery that has been preserved
by the castlo officials and their attitude
to the Scotland Yard men who were told
off to investigate the affair, have created
a very unfavorable impression in official
circles here. In fact, it is said at Scot
land Yard that if they had had assist
ance, instead of obstruction, from the
castle people, tho mystery would prob
ably have been solved long ago.
The complaint is not directed against
the Dublin Detective Department, but
against the men higher up, and some of
them men whose concern in the affair
officially is not apparent.
It is now impossible that the ma-tter
can be permitted to rest where it is.
There should be no difficulty whatever
in passing through both Houses of Par
liament a, bill constituting a special com
mission endowed with full power to probe
this scandal to the utmost. Of course,

of any mining stock proposition that has ever been
called to your attention in the city of Portland. Ex

and make the most thorough investigation you ever
made of a prospective investment. You will find that
DENNY DULIN
comes nearer to "making good" than any mine in the
Gold Mountain District near Goldfield. DENNY
DULIN will make good because the participating
owners, directors and every one of the officials are
in the business of MINE MAKING AND NOT

paying dividends long before the stockjobbers get
through with their manipulations. Remember that
DENNY DULIN
is the advance guard of an unprecedented boom in
