THEEVENI OVHAZurrm ....- Dcoioion In the Irrigation Suits Chilled Joy In San F uncisoo. SAN- FRANCISCO, hon. 18.——Much local interest is felt hero in the decision of the United States supreme court in the irriga- tion bond case, for on it the development of the state greatly depends. About $3,- 000,000 of irrigation bonds are held in this vicinity and in Euorpe. Local banks and capitalists have advanced much money upon the bonds as collateral security, and a decision that they are valid means the. immediate establishment of a strong mar-1 ket value for them, the issuance of more bonds and the opening up of vast arms of rich farming land s. A decree of the supreme court confirm- ing Judge Ross’ decision that the bonds were invalidated would have meant a loss to the extent of the money invested in them and loaned upon them and the re- tarding of the important work of irriga- tion for a time. In the irrigation districts directly affected by the decision the sus- taining of Judge Ross by the supreme court would have worked a. great hard- ship. Nearly $5, 000,000 has been spent already to '5 -Iild dams, etc.. and prepare to irrigate an: cultivate‘ 20,000,000 acres un- der the exact provisions of the Wright act. An adverse 'decision would cause this money to be lost. On the other hand, favorable decision would cause at least $15,000,000 more to be spent for improve- ment purposes. A Trick In the Drug Trude. BOSTON, Nov. 18.—A certain famous coal tar chemical product, a remedy for. headaches and neuralgia, is being brought from Canada by private importers in such quantities as to disturb the holders of the American patents, whose royalties are se- r ously diminished. The drug is made in Germany and sells at 15 to 20 cents an ounce there. The American distributors sold it at 85 cents an ounce, so that the margin of profit for importers is large, in spite of the risk they run of prosecution by the American patentees. Hebrew Colonists In Trouble. DENVER, Nov. 18.——T. Cheney, acting for capitalists who own land in Logan county, visited the east.

Is Now Deserted by Friends and Relatives, and Recently Occupied a. Public Cot in the Alcoholic Ward of One of New York City’s Hgspitals. The woman who was chosen by the state of Montana as its ideal of beauty was recently an inmate of the alco- holic ward of Bellevue Hospital. Four years ago she was known to the whole nation as a model of physical perfec-- lion, now she is an object to stir min- gled pity and disgust. The unhappy woman is Mrs. Caro‘ Line Louise Beach. She posed as the model of the great solid silver statue 3f Justice, which Montana sent to the World’s Fair. This statue which stood in the facade of the Montana ouilding, was the most notable of the State’s exhibit and was not the least remarkable feature of the entire expo- sition. The face was that of Ada Re- uan, but possibly out of modesty the famous actress made no further con- tribution to the statue. I-Hl'l I..

Mrs. Beach’s figure was very beautiful and as near to the propor- tions immortalized by Greek sculpture as an artist could hope to find on this earth. In size she was most heroic, for she was five feet nine and a half in- ches high and weighed 170 pounds. Grace and strength were as happily combined in her as in the Venus dc Milo. She posed as Diana at Madison Square Garden, and created a furor. The stage was darkened for a moment, and then the calcium turned on, and they behold Diana—apparently Diana of the Madison Square Tower, made famous both in New York and Chi- cago. DIANA. To destroy such beauty seems no or- dinary sin, but that is what Caroline Louise Beach has done. Today she is .istorted 'and hideous, with hardly a trace discernible of the charms that at- tracted a nation. Her former beauty lends great inter- est to the sordid but tragic story of her life. In the beginning she was a vain woman, who married a good steady business man in a small Illinois town. She developed a craving for notoriety. {he moved to Chicago, and they drifted apart. She and her husband were not living .togcther when she became the model for the Montana statue. After. that her father renounced her, and she came to New York. Life- -Saving Vests. The London managers of a great Shefiield (England) manufacturing firm is authority for the statement that four well-known American mil. lionaircs have. recently ordered coats I' and vests made of steel. This armor is, of light chain mail, allowing per- fectly free movements, does not inter- fere with perspiration, and weighs very little indeed. When a man has worn a mail coat for a week or two, ' the manufacturer says, -he gets quite used to it, and suffers no inconven~ ience whatever. While these costs will not turn a bul. let, nor prevent the penetration of a dagger or sword at short range, they are sufficiently strong to turn either a sword or a dagger driven at long reach. A spent bullet will not affect them in the slightest degree. The same manufacturer says that in the last five years his firm has received more than 900 orders for light armor. . A number of English statesmen pro. [set themselves by using this armor. Quite a number of millionaires are credited with the possession of these garments of safety, and it is alleged that while few people imagine it, they are worr- vory generally by promincnl men.

Holden, the director of the Lick observatory, has received from the minister of foreign af- fairs of Denmark the decoration of Knight of the Royal Order of the Dannenborg. The order was founded in A. D. 1219 and is conferred in the present case for services to science. Shock 3 Submerged Object. MOBILE, Nov. l7.—While the steamer John Wilson was proceeding down the riv- er today, bound for Tampico, she collided with a submerged obstruction, carrying away her propeller and part of the shaft. She was towed back without salvage. h’o Desire ior Honors. Mrs. Zachary Taylor had bitterly apposed her husband’s nomination. “It a-piot to take him from me,” she said, and looked forward to the pub- lic claim on him with dread, and de- clined to have anything to do with ' public receptions or hospitalities of the Executive Mansion. _Mrs. Bliss, the‘ newly married daughter, . led the White House afifairs, and became a social power. When the President died Mrs. Taylor knew that her words . had been prophetic, and after the pom- pous funeral‘ was over, she would not linger a day nor ever speak of the White House or Washington afteI- ward. A short time ago the Navy Depart- ment decided to train carrier pigeons for use in Case of War, and the Kit- tery (Me), naval station was selected for the training of the pigeons. .A large dove cote is now being erected, and a large coop of the finest birds of the carrier breed ,will be kept there, and a navy Ofi‘icer assigned to train them. It will be the practice to ship pigeons seveIal hundred miles away, and let them return by wing to the Coop at the yard. —Boston Journal. He was whistling, and she didn’t like it. “I wish,” she said, “when you are walking with me you wouldn't whistle. Lt is extremely rude.” “I am whistling for want of though ,”' he replied, with evident intent to be very crushing. “If that’s what it’s for,” she remarked, “I think I may say without fear of successful contra- diction by- any one who knows you, that you don’t have to.” Then he stopped—Texas Sifter. be convinced of Consult your local dealer.
