AFTER THE EQUITABLE GRAFT AND MISMANAGEMENT The State ef New York Bringa Suit Agalnat the Dlreetora ef the Equitable. New York, July 31. An action was instituted today by States At toraey-General Julius Mayer in the Supreme Court of New York coun ty, in the name of the people of the State of New York, against the Equitable Life Assurance Society, its officers, directors and members of the executive and finance com mittees, all of whom are named in the comnlaint. A week ago, before the papers were completed, Edward II. Harri man, on the eve ot bis departure for Japan, accepted service of the sum mons in the proposed action, and today many of the other defend ants, including James II. Hyde, were served through their private counsel. The defendants are allow ed 20 days from the time of service to file their answers. The complaint contains 21 sec tions and covers 33 pages of type written matter; refers to the Frick committee report and the investiga tion made by State Insurance- Su perintendent Hendricks; it is based on information and belief and the Attorney-General in his prayer to the court says that the action was brought in behalf of the people of the State of New York in the pub lic interests and pursuant to the pro visions of the law. The complaint charges that the individual defendants, disregarding their duty to the society of which they were directors, "negligently, improperly and improvidently jr- formed such duties and have habi tually and continuously done, or suffered to be done, wrongful, ille gal and improper acts, whereof the defendant society has suffered great loss and damage. The individual deiendants are further charged with having "ac quired to themselves, or caused or permitted to be transferred to oth ers, in violation oi their duties, money, property and the value of property belonging to the defendant society.' Killed by Lightening. During a thunderstorm of terrific intensity which passed over New York Sunday afternoon five persons were struck by lightning and in stantly killed and nine were serious ly injured at the Parkway Baths, Coney Island. At the rame time one man was killed and three oth ers prostrated at Gravesend Beach. The intense heat of the morning attracted a great multitude to the shore resorts, and late in the after noon the storm blew up from the westward, the park and beach was thronged with bathers and specta tors. The rain descended in tor rents and hundreds of men, women and children sought shelter under the big bathhouse, which is elevat ed above the sand on piles. The lightening was incesscnt and terrific thunderclaps shook the bathhouse, to the terror ot the crowd huddled together beneath it. A few minutes before 5 o'clock a bolt struck the flagstaff and ground ed in the very thickest of the crowd. Nearly fifty persons were prostrated and the crowd rushed out into the storm. Those who had remained in the water were also panic strick en and ran in all directions, not daring to enter the bathhouse, which appeared to be on fire. About the same time Henry Ran swciler was struck and killed while sheltering under a tree at Grave send Beach, and his son William, with John Apple and Daniel McCau ley, were rendered unconscious. Lightning struck at various points in the city. A store in Flus ing avenue, Brooklyn, was burned, and a car in Sixth avenue, Man hattan, was set on fire, but the oc cupants escaped unhurt. The electric light and the tele phone wires in Belle vue Hospital were struck several times, extin guishing all lights and causing much alarm among the patients. Strawberries Pay Best. Two acres of strawberries on A. W. Boorman's ten-acre farm two miles southwest ot town produced 455 crates of berries, which Mr. Boot man says will average him $1.54. Here is an income ot $700 from two acres. Mr. Boorman is convinced berries are the best paying crop he can produce on his land. Mr. Boorman plowed up part of his berry plantation last summer and sowed the land to clover. He does not regret having done so he says, as he believes he took belter care of the balance of the patch at less expense. He raised a good deal of clover, and if the cream route is established will buy two or three cows. Having received his returns on his berry crop, Mr. Boorman and family left Saturday morning for a trip to the Lewis and Clark exposi tion at Portland. Before returning they will visit with Mr. Boorman's daughter, Mrs. Hanley, at Hills boro. Hood River Glasier. Mr. Property Owner. On your way horn from work to night just stop along some of the good property you own and look at those low-hanging branches that trouble people as they pass on the sidswalk, then go over and borrow your neighbor's saw. Wait until the next morning, then get up early and go at them. You need not return the saw, for your neighbor will be so happy he will come and get it himself, or make you a present of it. The next night repeat this opera tion, only take a look at the side walk. If you fail to see those nail heads sticking up an inch yon need glasses. But first get a hammer and go at the nails. Then the world will rise up and call you blessed. Milton Eagle. Asleep Thirty-One Years. Madrid, July 22. Leonora Ron- aldo, the wile of a farm hand at Ballacienso, near Burgos, has just awakened from a trance which has lasted thirty-one years. This Span ish feminine Rip Van Winkle has been under the close observation of medical experts during the whole of that time, and by their instruc tions liquid food was regularly ad ministered by a tube in the mouth of the -sleeping woman. At times it was believed that the woman was waking, and various means were employed to restore her to con sciousness, but they failed. She has now regained her senses but cannot be persuaded that she has slept for years. A curious feature of the case is that she remembers the incidents ot her girlhood up to the time she tell into the trance. Her body is fairly well nourished, but her hair has turned white. On being shown a mirror the woman cried out with horror, and declared that the image it reflected was not her own. Goat Raising Profitable. J. II. smith, who owns 320 acrts near Freese, Idaho, has fully dem onstrated the fact that Angora goat raising is not only a source oi reve nue, but affords a most valuable means of cleaning land. One year ago last spring he brought from Kal ispel to his fine tange 196 head of Angoras, paying $6 for the ewes and $10 for the bucks. It does not re quire much attention to care for the flock, as they thrive well upon young trees and noxious weeds, thus aiding materially in cleanig the land. "During last winter I fed to my 196 goats not to exceed 1 2 tons of hay, and yet they were in the best of condition," said Mr. Smith. This spring his flock had increased to 360, nearly 100 per cent. The clip, which has just been taken off, weighed 9S0 pounds, five pounds to the fleece. Mr. Smith is now delivering this on board the cars at Palouse, Wash., for Minneapolis, at 50 cents per pound.

THE YELLOW PERIL GAINING GROUND TOTAL CASES, 302; DEATHS, 62 Fruit Trade Abaae'ene- Law En acted to Exterminate Meaquiteea Perfect Inspection. New Orleans, July 31. By the end of the present week the auth orities in charge ot the tever situa tion believe they will be in such thorough touch with conditions that they will be able to speak with au thority as to their ability to control and eradicate the disease in .advance of the coming of the frost. Daily the system of inspection and report is becoming more perfect and by that time not only will it be possi ble to tell precisely the extent of the fever, but a period will have ar rived when no more new cases trace able to the original infection may be expected. Three deaths occurred in the emergency hospital today, the num ber of patients in which has largely been increased. All cases found with no relatives to care for them are promptly removed to the insti tution, where the most elaborate modern arrangements have been made for their treatment. ' Up to July 31, there have been 302 cases; total number of deaths from disease, 62. The fatal cases are principally among Italians. It is generally believed here that, when the present sickness passes, New Orleans will not seek to re gain the fruit trade which has now been diverted to Mobile unless the fruit companies are willing to sub mit to regulations which will make impossible the introduction of fever. It is almost universally the opinion that, important as this trade has be come, it is not sufficiently profitable for the city to run the - risk of a re currence of the present experience. The mosquito ordinance will be passed at the meeting of the coun cil tomorrow. It will require land lords to screen cisterns. Fine or imprisonment is the penalty for failure to obey the ordinance. Very lew houses in the city are without cisterns and 40,000 or 50,- 000 of them will be required to be screened. The city is now spend ing some $16,000,000 on a water and sewerage system, which, when completed, will require the abandon ment of all cisterns. It will, how ever, be two or three years betore this system is finished. Display Should Be Better. The various counties undertook a great task when they bespoke so much space in the agricultural building. Nobly have many of them done. But all will bear re minding that exhibits need enlarg ing and supplying just as long as the fair is kept open. With some ot the counties it looks as if their bolt had been shot by the day the doors were opened. Others, pos sibly richer, or more accessible, not only have not lost interest, but prove this by their activity. If some of the counties, or rather the representative men of the coun ties, could hear the passing com ments of the visitors there would be a considerable wakening. Many excuses were made tor the absence of fruit and vegetables in that pre parations ahead were not practica ble. But nature is taking care of us in this early season and ripening weather. It is a sure thing that some of the counties are already se- curieg great returns for their out lay. But on the other hand some are losing rather than making by inevitable comparisons. We have some pages of notes of the exhibits as thev are in evidence. Some of them might hurt, so perhaps it is best not to publish them today in the hope of improvement in the near future.

For perhaps the first time in Am erican history, a state has honored a native poet by building a replica of bis birthplace several thousand miles from the original. This has been accomplished at the Lewis and Clark exposition by the state of Maine which has for its building a structure that is an exact repro duction of the place where Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born. The building has attracted a great deal of attention, especially from western people, most of whom have never visited Portland Me , to see for themselves the original. The house in which Longfellow was born was, at the time, the fin est in Portland, Maine. It was the home of Samuel Stephenson, a brother-in-law of Hon. Stephen Longfellow, the poet's father. Longfellow's birthplace is a three- story frame building, constructed after the peculiar style of architec ture characteristic of the period. It is severely rectangular in shape, with a hip roof, and the only deco ration is a small cornice over the doorway which is in the center oi the front wall. The house is painted white, and a white picket fence encloses a small grass plot at the left of the entrance. The room in which the poet was born is the front chamber, in the secoud story, at the right. On entering the building, one climbs several steps, and is admitted to a hall, from which stairs lead to the floors above. The living rooms are large and comfortable, and open off to the right and left from the central hall. The birth room has been fitted up in colonial style, with some rare old furniture, notable among which is the bookcase that was formerly owned and used by the poet. The location which the reproduc tion of Longfellow's birth-place en joys at the Lewis and Clark expo sition is much more desirable than that of the original in Portland, Me. A century ago, it overlooked the placid waters of Casco Bay, and the view embraced the 365 islands which make the harbor one of rare national beauty. Now. however, wholesale houses and warehouses occupy the water-front, and the sur roundings are anything but roman tic. At the exposition the reproduc tion occupies a plot of ground in the rear of the Idaho and Illinois state buildings, and the vista from the doorway includes a view of the main exposition picture, and takes in Guild's lake, smiling and dotted with pleasure craft, and the foot hills of the Cascade mountains be yond it. A green lawn surrounds the building. On the walls of two of the rooms in the Longfellow home at the ex position, the entire poems "Hiawa tha" and "Evangeline" are posted artistically on cards.

PICNIC 1LACJP SH0E 3P r av -kw - bbl weak ACCEPT SCALE OR QUIT WORK TELEGRAPH OPERATORS QUIT Telegraph Ope rate re an Northern Pacific and Great Northern Rall reada an Strike. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. I. All of the telegraph operations ot the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific systems were ordered out to night at 11 o'clock by President Perham, of the Order of Railway Telegraphers. According to the officials or Telegraphers' Union, be tween 1900 and 2000 men will be affected by the order. Mr. Perham declares that by 1 2 o'clock tomor row 95 per cent of the operators will be out. The railway officials maintain that they will be able to fill the places of most of the men, and they will suffer nothing more than a temporary inconvenience by the move. ACCEPT SCALE OK QUIT WORK. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 1. Nego tiations which have been pending between the Order of Railway. Telegraphers and the Great North ern and Northern Pacific railroads for some time came to a sudden eud today, when General Manager Horn, of the Northern Pacific, no tified the telegraphers of that sys tem that the company's proposition as to the rate of wages it would pay was final, and they could accept it or leave the service. The Great Northern officials took practically the same stand toward their employes last night, thus throwing confusion into the ranks of the telegraphers, who hardly ex pected such a move. The only chance of an adjustment ot the trou ble rests with President Hill, who is in New York and to whom Presi dent Perham, of the Railway Tele graphers, appealed in a telegram last night. Just how many men have refused to consider the terms offered by the roads is uncertain. Until 3:30 this afternoon no definite figures had been received at the headquarters of either railroad. The orders af fect about 750 operators and agents on the Great Northern, and about 1 200 on the Northern Pacific. No Ruat. Telegrams from station agents over 1 500 to 2000 miles of railroad in Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska and sonthern Minnesota, say "no rust." These agents were instruct ed by railroad officials to make careful inquiry concerning the re ported black rust in wheat. The replies are unanimous that there is none of this destructive parasite. The only damage reported Is to po tatoes which, it is said, will not equal laLt year's yield in Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota by 25 per cent. Watch 7 No better made. No better can bo made.

The Custer massacre, which marks the greatest Indian outrage of receut times, will be reproduced with wonderful fidelity to detail at the Lewis and Clark exposition on Thursday, August 10, when Uma tilla Iudians and soldiers of the Oregon National guard and the Tenth United States intantry will lake part. The massacre promises to prove the most interesting and instructive of the big free outdoor attractions which have been provid ed by the exposition management for the patrons of the western world's fair. It was twenty-nine years ago, on June 25, 1875, that Custer and his troopers rode into the death trap on the Little Big Horn river. Shortly after crossing the rivet, hundreds of Sioux attacked the little band, which resisted heroically, making a last stand in a hand-to-hand con test in which every trooper was killed. The only survivor of the dreadful massacre was a trumpeter whom Custer had sent, early in the fray, to Major Reno for re-inforce-ments. The reproduction of the massacre at the Lewis and Clark exposition will have for its location a plot of ground on Guild's lake, near the river entrance to the fair. The lay of the ground at this place is simi lar to the geography of the Little Big Horn, and this circumstance will add much to the interest ol the bloodless massacre. Indians from the Umatilla reservation, garbed in the war clothes of the plains, will form the attacking party, and the attack will be maintained by them until the last of the soldiers repre senting Custar's band have fallen. Popular and Picturesque. The only thing necessary to make the Denver and Rio Grande the most popular, as it has ever been known the most pleasant and most picturesque way to cross the conti nent, has come about. This is the establishment of through sleeping car service. In connection with the O. R. & N., a through Pullman Standard Sleeper is now run from Portland to Denver, leaving Portland at 8:15 p. m., arriving at Salt Lake at 8:40 a. m., the second morning, leaving Salt Lake at 3:50 p. m., and arriv ing at Denver 4:20 p. m., the fol lowing day. This schedule gives passengers seven hour-stop over In Salt Lake, affording an opportunity to visit the Mormou Capital as well as a day light ride through the grandest scenery in the world. For reservations in this car and for illustrated booklets picturing the scenery contiguous to the Den ver & Rio Grande, proving it to be the "Science Line of the World," write to W. C.
