EMPEROR VISIT TO MOROCCO Considered by the Engllah Preie That It la Distinctly a Political Move and Incidentally Connected With the War in Russia ae a Basic. London, March 30. Editorial article and article printed In the London newspapers thl morning reflect a cer tain sense of uneasiness, almost amounting to Irritation at the idea, jed on Chancellor Von Buelow's speech In the relchstag on March 2. and Emperor William's vllt to Tangier hue, In the opinion of many, a distinct- ly political move. The subject was also much commented upon In the loble of the house of parliament yes terday. . "Russia's eclipse, Germany's oppor tunity," crystallzes In a sentence the general Idea prevalent on the sub Jim t It Is suggested that Emperor William Is far from desiring to Irri tate France wishes and rather em phasize the diminished value of Rus sian alliance and then-by persuade France of the advisability of reap proai'hnicnt with Otrmany. At the same time, those who are the l"itt Inclined to mnrvnl at the Ger man emperor' action admit It Is cal culated to stiffen the sultan's resist ance to the French policy In Morroco and so retard civilisation schemes In volved In the Anglo-French agreement. Other papers declare that they are Inclined to doubt the wisdom of Em peror William's policy which they think more likely to result In strength ening the Anglo-French entente. Much satisfaction I therefore expressed at the exchange of visits for the French and British fleets during the coming summer. . NEW INDICTMENTS. Believed Chicago Grand Jury Is Ready to Report. Chicago, March 30. Conspiracy In dictments are threatened against the heads of the big meat packing concerns of chit ago unless, the alleged tamper ing with witnesses summoned to tes tify before the federal grand Jury Is discontinued, at once. With two wit nesses on the stand toduy, who assert ed that they had been approached with suggestions as to their testimony will be mild, the Jury delcared and they are getting ready to take drastic action. "We will shut off Interference with witnesses, "said Assistant Presecuting Attorney Pagln tonight "Even If we have to resort to proceeding under the conspiracy statute to do so." The be. lief Is general tonight that Pagln has already laid plans for new Indictments. Fifteen witnesses were heard today, three women being among those that testified. Tha women were stenog. ru pliers employed by the National Packing Company. FREAKS OF SEA QUAKES. Oa That StraaAed Big Vessels Hall Mile lalaad. Sea quake are mighty disturbances of the water of the ocean, their cause or causes being Identical with the causes of earthquake. Iu Major C. E. Duttou's book, "Earthquakes," the autlior bus some Interesting facta re garding the ocean variety of quake. From the entrlea in the logB of many hips be conclude that In rare case the power of the sea quake shocks may be great enough to render standing on dock a difficult as It sometime Is on land. It way even be great enough to cause the fear that the vessel Is be ing shaken to piece. Gigantic waves In the ocean are, of course, a frequent accompaniment of the sea quake. On the west coast of South America, where these waves are frequent, they sometimes follow a quake having Its center below the sea level that la also felt on laud. But more often they come without warning. The most memorable sea quake of this locality occurred Aug. 3, 1S0& Major Dutton describes It aa fol lows: "The coast of South America was shaken all the way from Guay aquil, In Ecuador, to Valdlvla, In Chile, tho highest Intensity being manifest ed In the neighborhood of Arlcn. The force of the quake In thin town was very great, throwing down most of tho structures and producing land Blips. A few minutes later precisely how many minutes la not known the sea was observed to retire slowly from the shore, so that ships anchored In seven fathoms of water were left high and dry. "A few minutes later still It waa seen returning In a great wall, or 'bore,' which caught up the ships In the roadstead and swept them Inland as If they were mere chips of wood. Among them was Jhe JUnlted States LONDON UNEASY ntcnnn'rTratcriee, one of t!i1mprotfs ed war vewl of the blockading fleet In the civil war, which was carried In land nenrly half a mile and left with little Injury on shore by the recession of the wave." KEEP THESE IN MIND. The power of kindness. It wins wbea all coercive measures full. The dignity of simplicity. When the "frills" are off the man Is "on.", The wisdom of economy. The man who suves makes more than he saves. The pleasure of working. The only really unhappy, rich or poor, are the Idle. The Influence of example. Practice docs more than precept In showing the way. The worth of character. In the Inst analysis the only real value la a clear conscience. The success of perseverance. "Keep ing everlastingly at It" brings the hoped for result. The value of time. Lost capital may be restored by diligent use of experi ence. Time lost Is lost forever. The obligation of duty. Your concern should not ho much be what you get as .what you do for what you get.

His Two Smiles (Original. Owen Harding possessed a genial dis position, which was concealed under a forbidding countenance. The corners of bis mouth were drawn down, and when he smiled they refused to be drawn up. The consequence was a mingling of a smile In the eye and a crusty look about the mouth that was by no means pleasing. Harding pos sessed a very good mind. He was orig inal and entertaining, but this, espe cially among young people, counted for nothing. When be perpetruted a witti cism accompanied by what In another would have been a droll expression the result was a combination of smile and acerbity that was very unpleasant One girl only seemed to be able to chat with Harding without laughing t him, Rebecca Payne. But Miss Payne was the daughter of a poor cler gyman and merely tolerated in society well, because she had neither wealth nor that faculty of assumed graclous nesa to the members of her set which In society people is often accompanied by I ongTaeiotifHioKa to .those without their set She was, however, intellec tual, and some of the more apprecia tive members took her up. But none of the socially prominent young men paid ber any attention, and this was a back set for her. When It waa noticed that the only attendant she could rely upon was Harding ber fate, socially consid ered, waa sealed. nardlnga occupancy of the social po sition to which be waa entitled waa confined to one winter. The next soci ety saw him no more. He disappeared for five years. At tho end of that pe riod one of the aristocratic churches of the place where be had been born and reared needed a minister. The "pillars" bad beard of a joung man, a Mr. Cum mlngH, who was electrifying the elect In another city and sent him an Invitation to preach. The reverend gentleman ap peared one Sunday morning in the pul pit, and the moment certain members of the congregation looked at him they whispered to one another, "How like Owen Harding and yet how unlike bim!" Mr. Cummlngs after announcing his text closed the Bible and without a scrap of memoranda delivered the fin est sermon that had ever been heard in that church. Ouce when using a hu morous illustration he smiled. That smile captivated every woman present and there was not a girl unbespoken who did not resolve that If Mr. Cum mlngs were called and accepted the call she would set her cap for blm, for It was known that he was both unmar ried and rich. When the congregation left the church there waa a hum of praises Intermin gled with query and counter query from those who bad known Harding aa to whether he and Cummlngs could possibly be one person. Then it was learned that the clergyman's name waa nardlng-Cummlugs, the latter name having been taken to fulfill the provi sions of a fortune. This settled it that Cummlngs was none other than Owen Harding, who had been the laughing stock of his acquaintances for a dia itcilc smile that had since become se raphic. A thousand tongues were set babbling not at the young minister's Eloquence, but at the transformation ot hla facial expression. As people once asked concerning a newly risen literary star, "Where did she get that style?" so it was asked concerning the Rev. Hardlng-Cummlngs, "Where did he get that smile?" Mr. Cummlngs became the pastor of the church, and fifty young ladles la and out of the congregation, all social ly prominent, made a dead set for blm. It must not le supposed that Mr. Cum mlngs' eloquence or his heavenly smllt would have alone led these young ladiei to covet him for a husband. It wai the eloquence and the smile supported by his great wealth. The minis tet showed no preference for any of them, Which, made the race aHthemore ex- CLASSIFIED KATES: Vint Insertion, One Cent a Were. One Week, Each Line, 30c. Two Weeki, Each Line, 45c.

Young women who five yean before bad made no attempt to conceal their laughter at his unfortunate ex pression when he made a droll re mark did not now scruple to remind him of their enjoyment of what they called his sparkling wit The clergy man smiled pleasantly on them, al though one of his best friends remark ed that It waa to be hoped be had hii old smile at home, where be might put It on after some of these flattering re minders. Mr. Hardlng-Cummings had beer pastor of the church a year, and th battle of the beauties for hla posses s'.on waa at Its hottest when the bri gade was , panic stricken by the an nouncement that he had gone away tc be married. His bride lived in a fai distant land her father having goni out as a missionary and therefore nc invitations to the wedding would be Is sued, only announcement cards. When several months later the groom brought hla wife home there waa consterna tlon on the features of some of the old er belles as they recognized Rebecca Payne. And well they might tremble for Mrs. Cummlngs became at once a prominent woman in society and sel the stamp ot ber disapproval on every one of them who had laughed at het husband's misfortune. "How in the name of conscience." asked one of several gentlemen smok ing after a dinner party, "did Hardlnp get rid of that diabolic expression he once wore?" 'T can euHgbten you," said a promi nent surgeon. "I carved It out of him." At the moment the reverend gentle man referred to entered the room and overheard the reply. "The doctor made a very good Job of my case," he said. "I'm thinking of employing him to make a similar transformation In a psychological way among the more hardened sinners of my congregation." F.
