For 50 year astronomer have

mercury does not follow the path or
orbit which should be its natural
course, and which mathematical

there was tome force pulling from it

the general theory. Professor Camp

These photographic plates dispose
of this theory and mathematicians

not dangerously hurt a he stepped

NEW YORK, Feb. 26,-That an
other good-sized haul had been made
by burglars in the district occupied
by many men of wealth became
known last night when it was learned
that an entrance had been gained to
the residence of Henry A. Pritchett,
formerly president of the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology and
now director of the Carnegie founda
tion, and $1000 worth of silverware
taken The burglars gained an en
trance by climbing along the fence
of Andrew Carnegie's residence ad
joining, gaining the rear of the Prit
chett home, where skillful use of a
"jimmy" on a bay window gained
them easy admission. Although the
burglars crossed the Carnegie prop
erly, they apparently made no at
tempt to enter the house. After dark
last night the force of special police
men from Mr. Carnegie's residence
was doubled, six now being on duty
there.
The American Tariff System Wa
Attacked by Houiton Who Charged
That the Truata Owed Their Being
to it, and Urged Iti Revision.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 26. -The
climax of the general debate on the
army appropriation bill in the House
came today when Dalzeli, recognized
as one of the foremost protectionists
of the country delivered an exhaus
tive speech in defense of the Republi
can party and its policies, in which
he upheld the principle of a protec
live tariff system and said under it,
the United States had become the
greatest of manufacturing nations.
He don't believe there is any neces
sity for tariff revision, but thought it
was well to recognize the claims of
those who think there should be
some alterations. Whatever that re
vision was provided the Republicans
were successful at the next election,
he assured his hearers it would be in
accordance with the Republican
theory of protection of American in
dustries and of the wages of Ameri
can workmen. The American tariff
system was attacked by Houston,
who charged that the trusts owed
their being to it and urged its revis
ion. i he army appropriation bill
was not concluded when the House
adjourned.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-A murder

Leo Heinrichs was shot down while
administering Holy Communion in
St. Elizabeth's Roman Catholic

"I am positive that anarchists, anti
clericals, or whatever they call them'
selves, have prepared lists of priests
and clergy to be killed and am cer
tain that some Chicago man has been
marked," he said.
"I am the most logical man for as
sassination and although I have thou
sands of friends in the Italian colony,
I also have many bitter enemies."-

C0P WITH FORCES OF EVIL
The President Today Addressed the
Delegate to Department of Super
intendents of National Educational
Association During Their Reception
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. -That
there will be no let-up in President
Roosevelt's policy of warring against
"Rottenness and corruption" was
emphatically declared by the Presi
dent today in an address to the dele
gates to the department of superin
tendents of the national educational
association during their reception at
the White House.
In the course of his address he
said: "Fundamentally in its family
life and in its outside activities of its
individuals, the country is better and
not worse than it formerly was. This
does not mean we are to be excused
if we fail to war against rottenness
and corruption, if we fail to contend
effectively with the forces of evil, and
they waste their time who ask me to
withhold my hand from dealing there
with. The President advised that the
schools more and more train boys
and girls toward and not away from
the farm and the workshop. He said
much had been said about the dignity
of labor, but in our education we have
tended toward the assumption that
the educated man was to be educated
away irom and not toward labor.
The President also desired that pupils
should be taught that it does not
atone for small pay to call it salary
if by working hard with your hands
you get more than if you work with
your head only. He urged that the
boy be taught to earn his own livli
hood and be the home-maker; that
the girl be the home-maker; that the
father be the bread-winner and the
mother be the housekeeper. N

wards and Miss M. Thames, young
women tourists of New York, who
made the trip to this city by way of
the Isthmus of Panama rather than
by railroad, for "the novelty of the
thing" had all the experience they
looked for and a little more. They
arrived here at the beginning of the
week in the Pacific Mail steamer
Newport, and tell of having been ar
rested for spies by the chief of police
of Guatemala City. After being ar
rested at the hotel they were placed,
they say, in the care of a matron in
the prison and kept there nearly two
days until the steamer Newport ar
rived. '

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. -Two
Gothic figures torn from French
cathedrals by the mob in the French
Revolution and after several genera
tions a garden ornament have found
their way to the Metropolitan Mu
seum of Art where they have just
been placed on exhibition. f
They were discovered by George
Grey Barnard, an American sculptor
who was making a bicycle tour of
France. He was surprised to see in
the door yards of the little French
towns and around the farm barns re
markable examples of early Gothic
sculpture. Many of these he bought
as "old stones" from the peasants
for a few dollars each. The greater
portion of them he sold to the Louvre
and simitar institutions. The two
which the Museum has acquired were
obtained from their owners through
Mr. Barnard. ;
The most valuable is a life size
representation of "The Virgin and
Child and once was at the entrance
of a cathedral in central France. It
was cast down by the foes of the
church during the reign of terror and
the image of the child was broken.
The figure of the virgin is remarkable
in the exquisite modeling of its drap
eries, and strongly suggests the
classic Greek. - -
"St. Anne" is the subject of the
second figure. The statute belongs
to the 15th century and in the orna
mentation of its draperies suggests
the dawn of the renaissance.
'Both statues are of hard Ville de
France, and despite their long expos
ure to wind and weather and to the
