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

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.

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."
LAWYER CONFESSES FORGERY

Embezzlement.

A Prohibition Bill Passes
Amendn
Atlanta, Ga.?The Hardman-Cov- d
ington prohibition bill, passed by the *
Georgia Senate some days ago, was
adopted by the House by a vote of u
139 to 39. Two amendments added t
by the House will necessitate the bill F
going back to the Senate for concur- E
rence, of which there is no doubt, and f
the bill then will go to Governor t
Hoke Smith for his signature, which
has been practically pledged, and pro- r
hibition will become a law in Georgia, t
The amendments permit the sale If
of pure alcohol by retail druggists on I
I the prescription of a reputable phy- C
sician and also allow wholesale drug- n
gists to carry pure alcohol in stock
for sale to retailers only. e
The bill prohibits the manufacture e
or keeping on hand in any place of n
business, the sale or giving away to n
induce business within the State of a
any liquor that may produce intoxi- y
cation. The new law is to become ef- s
fective on January 1, 1908. i
After the first fight on the bill in C
which the opponents of the bill n
showed their ability to keep the act
from its third reading, i.n agreement z
was reached, making the bill a spe- d
cial order. li
Twenty-one amendments were of- v

Poor Paint is Expensive. ,>$'
If one is rich enough to repaint his '
buildings every year for the pleasure
of having a change of color scheme,
the quality of the paint used may cut
little figure. But if it is desirabfe to !;v r
cut the painting bills down to the least
amount possible per year, it is of the
utmost importance that the paint be
made oS Pure White Lead and the
best of Linseed Oil. There are imita.
tions in the form of alleged White y
Lead, and there are substitutes in the
form of ready-prepared paints.
We guarantee our White Lead to be ' T
absolutely pure, and the Dutch Boy
on the side of every keg is your safe.
