t F y K-;' . | Good For tlit* Printer. The Columbus Penitentiary News, for many years a famous and flourishing daily paper published by convicts, has suspended publication, for the very good reason mat mere is nui left in that big penal institution a single man who can handle type. Bankers are there in plenty. More than twenty, and more on the way. Several convict banks might be operated, with men to spare. Enough lawyers are there to take care of an enormous amount of legal business. Doctors, brokers and other "eminently respectable" citizens are not Jacking. Business men, farmers, mecnamcs and representatives of almost every other department of industrial activity are common there. But there is not one printer. The fact throws new light on a character that has long been commonly misjudged. The printer does not "pi" his spiritual and moral form.?The Philistine. Morgan and the Stutterer. A young reporter on the New York Sun, who stuttered fearfully,was sent one day te try to get a statement from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. "Who and what are you?" demanded Mr. Morgan. In moments of surprise or nervous excitement the reporter's stammering always became acute, so he stood with jaws locked, vainly trying to 6peak. Mr. Morgan began to fume, and finally he sputtered: "What in the devil are you?" The reporter's sense of humor did not share the clogging up of his .speech, and, after much facial contortion, he managed to gurgle out: "I-I-I?aaaa-m an elocutionist." Mr. Morgan saw the joke, he grimly relaxed and when the reporter's speech-consciousness returned he got ihe statement.?Saturday Evening Post. ii' " t .? . ?????????

POWER TRUST SUIT PAPERS ARE FILED Senator Du Pont Exercises Dominant Influence in Management PROMISES OF TRUST BROKEN Government Lost Faith rn Pretensions of Trust Officers That They Would Comply With Law?Question of Receivership Raised. Washington, D. C.?Apparently losing faith in the pretensions of the officers of the Powder Trust that the combine would be dissolved and reorganized to comply with the Sherman anti-trust law, Attorney Geueral Bonaparte recently issued orders bj which the prosecution against the powder concern was brought at Wilmington, Del. It is generally believed that there were negotiations between the officers of the trust and the Government officials looking toward the settlement of the case out of court. The papers were filed oy Assistant Attorney General Purdy in the United States Court. Already the Government's attorneys realize that the trust has made u. muvtr w men win iii?iK.e it ueueabafj to amend the petition filed in the Delaware court. The trust officials have brought this about by dissolving I. Du Pont-de Nemours & Co., which is the Delaware comporation of the I trust. In the first paragraph of the petition of the Government it is alleged that the E. I. Du Pont-de Nemours Company is one of the parent companies which compose the trust. But since the preparation of the papers this company has ceased to exist, and in order to avoid complications which would throw the Government's suit out of court the Attorney General must amend his petition. Relative to the connection of United States Senator Henry A. Du Pont with the so-called trust, the bill filed says: "That the defendant, Henry A. Du Pont, was the President and a member of the Board of Directors of E. I. Du Pont, de Nemours & Co. from the time of its organization until the first day of January, 1906, during which time he attended from time to time the meetings of the Board of Directors of said company, held in the city of Wilmington, and participated in the direction and management of its business and was responsible therefor; that at the time of filing this petition the said Henry A. Du Pont was one of the principal stockholders In said company, and during all the times herein mentioned has been and now is exercising a dominant influence over the* management and business of said company." Mr. Du Pont was elected United States Senator in June, 1906. The Co^jrt is asked to determine whether public interests will be better subserved by the appointment of receivers to take possession of th9 property of the alleged trust with a view to bringing about conditions in trade and commerce that will bo in harmony with the law. The prayer in this respect is identical with that in the so-called tobacco trust petition. * LAUNCH UPSET; NINE DROWNED. All Young Men Who Went Cruising Near Toronto.

N ME COWARD DISMISSED Walsh, Stripped of Shield, Bootee Out of Headquarters. New York City Policeman in Disgvnce For Failing to Follow a Fleecing Murderer. New York City.?Stamped a coward by General Bingham, who had dismissed him from the force. Policeman Stephen S. Walsh, of the East F^ifty-first street station, was stripped of his shield, escorted out of Police Headquarters by an inspector and booted into Mulberry street, while po licemen and others jeered and hooted. Never before had the department witnessed such a spectacle. Back iu 1876, thirty-one years ago, Roundsman Thomas Burns and Patrolman White, of the old Mulberry street station, were dismissed for cowardice, but there was no such scene as that enacted in the trial room duriug Walsh's ordeal. But General Bingham. a soldier, had his own idea as to the proper punishment for a coward. When theCommis3ionerannounced his decision heordered Inspector Richard Walsh to tear Walsh's shield from his coat. When that had been done the Commissioner called for the removal of Walsh's brass buttons, but they were fastened to the blouse with wire and could not be ripped off. "Cut them off!" roared the Commissioner, "and strip him of everything that he has disgraced." Knives were brought forth, and although Inspector Walsh, Captain T ? ?*??? n ? % r-1 n Air/vnrt 1 nnltnomon juaiiti jf aua scrciai mcu to sever the wire that held the buttons to the coat they were unsuccessful. General Bingham became impatient. "Take him out of the building, inspector," he said. "Tell him he is dismissed from the department and to never enter this building. Take him away! Get him out of my sight!" The only person in the trial room who was not moved was the disgraced cop. Throughout the proceedings he appeared calm and unconcerned. Once he smiled at Inspector Walsh, who was trying hard to tear the buttons from the blouse, and he seemed pleased at the discomfiture of the inspector. His revolver, shield, police manual and patrol and firebox keys taken from him, Walsh stood erect for a moment and glared at Commissioner Bingham. Then Inspector Walsh dragged him from the room. Several policemen made a move to follow, but Geperal Bingham stopped them. Wafsh was dismissed for failing to follow Frank H. Warner after he had killed Esther Norling in West Fortysecond street. POISON KILLED MRS. MAGILL. Chemists Found Arsenic?State Alleges a Suicide J-'act. Clinton, 111.?The report of the medical experts who made an analysis of the contents of the stomach of Mrs. Pet Magill, the first wife of Fred Magill, was received here. According to the report Mrs Magill died of chloroform poisoning. A trace of arsenic was also founs. The belief is that Mrs. Magill .committed suicide. Lot H. Herrick, special Assistant State's Attorney, preparing the evldence for the. special Grand Jury, said: "The chemist's report does not weaken our case. We contend that a suicide compact existed between Fred Magill and his wife, Mrs Pet Magill. The law makes it a murder if one person agrees with another to commit suicide and deliberately deceives the other person." NEW GEM FOUND IN CALIFORNIA It Will Be Called Benito. After the County in Which It Was Discovered. San Francisco.?Prof. Georee B. Leuderback, of the University of California.. gave the results of his examination of a new gem of great beauty recently discovered by two prospectors in San Benito County. Cal. Professor Leuderback says: "The new gem is a clear, transparent blue stone with violet tints in the deeper colored portion. It rivals the sapphire in color and surpasses it in brilliancy, though it is not so hard. It is about as hard as chrysolite and harder than opal or moonstone. It turns bright red under heat, but on cooling resumes its normal color. As it is an entirely new mineral it has been named Benito, from the county in which it was found."
