ORCHARD JIT TESTIFY
His Evidence Muy Bring About Iter
turn of $10,800 to Gas Company.
San Francisco, Dec. 29. By a rul
ing of the supreme court, the Issu
ance of a commission was granted,
authorizing the taking of the de
position of Harry Orchard, self-confessed
slayer of the late Governor
Steunenberg, of Idaho, as to the cir
cumstances surrounding the explos
ion In this city on November 17,
1904, in the house of W. H. Lln
forth, then thought to have been
caused by a leak In the gas main,
but which resulted from the firing
of a dynamite bomb, according to
etatements Liade in Orchard's con
fession.
The issuance of the commission
follows the attempt of the gas com
pany to recover $10,800 paid to Lln
forth for damages done his house on
the finding of a jury. Orchard, who
Is serving a life sentence in Idaho,
stated that he blew up the Linforth
house In an attempt to kill Captain
Bradley, who then resided there.
Stockbuyers Complain.
Grangevllle, Idaho, Dec. 28. The
action of the Northern Pacific in re
fusing to accept shipments of stock
over the new Grangeville line is caus
ing great inconvenience to stock
shippers. A number of buyers have
been feeding and buying cattle and
hogs with a view of shipping out on
the new line. An effort is being
made to have the road suspend the
order and receive shipments In Jan
uary.
The only reason given by the offi
cials of the road is that the cattle
sway the cars and cause the newly-
ballasted roadbed to shift. Stock
shippers assert that the ruling is un
just to them, as all other freight Is
accepted. Several large shipments
are to be made about the first of the
year.
Fleet Enters Red Sea.
Suez, Dec. 30. The American bat
tleship fleet under Rear-Admiral

sels are due here the morning of
January 3.
It Is expected that they will make
a quick passage through the canal
and then will disperse to tho various
Mediterranean ports, according to
their Itinerary, with the least pos
sible delay. Christmas was fittingly
observed on board the 16 vessels of
the fleet.

New York, Jan. 1. From today

plicable to all letters between Ger
many and the United States, without
regard to route.

A Paying Weakness.
Tor many years a certain old follow
nd been engaged by a farmer to gatu
;r his r-otr.tocs at a fixed sum per acre
He died, however, and the farmer was
obliged to get nnother man. A day
or two later the farmer strolled around
to see how the new man was progress
ing. To his surprise, at one end of
the field he found a large heap of
stones.
"Here, wot'a this mean?" be de
manded.
"Well, sir," responded the man In
charge of the operation, "we thought
we'd save ye a bit of trouble next
wedtlme, so whenever we finds a
itone In the tatles we just dumps It
down there."
"Ah," remarked the farmer sadly,
"I shall never find another man like
Sam, the old one."
"Oh," replied the other, rather net
tled, "why, old Sam was rather blind
an' didn't know a stone when he seen
one."
"Mebbe he didn't, and mebbe he
did," sighed the farmer, "but he worn't
so particular about keepln' 'etu out of
the tatles. They weighs." London

Tipping the Yards.
Flying flags half mast high Is the
sailor's most popular method of indi
cating mourning on board ship, but
seamen, notably on sailing vessels,
have another curious old custom by
which they make known the presence
of death. Should the captain die on
his ship it is customary to tip or slope
the yards as a sign of mourning for
the deceased. The original position of
the yards Is of course horizontal,
whereas when tipped they slant In
downward direction. Harper's
Weekly.
