GREENE AND GAYNOR
Lose Their Appeal Before Dominion
Court
CANADIAN DECISION IS ADVERSE
Judge La Fontaine, Extradition Com?
missioner, Commits Them to Jail
pending Delivery to the United
States.
Montreal, Special.-Judge LaFon
taine, extradition commissioner, gave
judgment in the case of the United
States, vs. John F. Gaynor and Benja
min? D. Greene, committing Doth for
extradition and ordering them back to
jail to await surrender to United States
officers. In rendering judgment, Judge
LaFontaine spoke for two hours and a
half. Summing up, he said:
"My conclusion is that the allegation
of the conspiracy to defraud the United
States as being in existence between
Carter and the accused on or about
July 1st, 1897, is proven to the hilt.
"Second, that Carter was guilty in
the United States and convicted of em
bezzlement, which offence is known
under our laws by the term of theft,
the difference in the name of the of
fense in the two countries being im
material; that the accused have partic
ipated by their conspiracy with Car
ter in the embezzlement so committed
by him; that such participation is pun
ishable by the'laws of both countries
and is an extraditable crime. Conse
quently, I determine that the accused
must be committed --to -jail pending
surrender.''
May Be Further Delay.
Washington, Special.-The Associat
ed Press .dispatch from Montreal, stat
ing that Judge LaFontaine had render
ed his d?cision committing Greene and
Gaynor for surrender to the United
States authorities was shown to the
Attorney G?n?ral. When questioned as
to what further rights of appeal Greene
and Gaynor had, it was stated at the
Department of Justice that the prison
ers would nave fifteen days from the
date of Judge LaFontaine's decision in
which to apply for a writ of habeas
corpus. This proceeding, if taken, would
come before another judge, who will
have the power to discharge the pris
oners or to re-commit them for surren
der, in which case they will be surren
dered within two months from the date
of such recommittal.
Peace Offer Well Received.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.-Eeyond
the statement that the advisability of
confiding the opening of peace negoti
ations to President Roosevelt in the
event that Emperor Nicholas shall
have decided that tho time had ar
rived to indicate to Japan Russia's
desire to end the struggle, was pre
sented in a favorable light, no definite
announcement can be made at this
hour regarding the result of Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff's audience with
the Emperor on the subject of Count
Cassini's dispatch communicating the
President's practical tender of good
offices. It can, however, be stated in
addition that Grand Duke Alexander
Michaelovitch, who, was the most un
compromising advocate of war to the
last ditch, has joined Grand Duke
Vladimir, unrle of the Emperor, In
counselling tht '..".r.?lusibn of peace.
Another important convert made by
the advocates of peace is Admiral
Alexieff. With Grand Duke Alexander
Michaelovitch, Grand Duke Vladimir
and Admiral Alexieff oh the side "of
peace the backbone of what has been
demoninated as the war party seems
to have been broken. Nevertheless,
the final word rests with the Emperor
himself.
Washington, Special.-Pending the
decision of the Czar regarding war
or peace in the FarEast, the President
and the European ambassadors with
whom he is daily conferring have
agreed that silence regarding their ac
tivities is-necessary, and word to this
effect has been passed along, lest Rus

SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN:
Conditions For Past Week a3 Given
Out by the Department.
The first of the week ending Mon
day, June 5th, was warm, the middle
portion cool, and the close had normal
temperature. There was widespread
complaint that cool nights were un
favorable on cotton. There was more
than the usual amount of sunshine
over the western and central parts
and less than usual over the eastern
parts. There were local high, damag
ing winds in the northeastern coun
ties on the 30th and 31st, accompany
ing thunderstorms.
A large portions of the State had
mo rain during the week, but there
were heavy rains in the east central,
eastern and southern counties on the
30th and 31st, further delaying farm
work and increasing the foulness of
corn and cotton.
Farm work made rapid progress ov
er the larger portion of the State, but
cultivation is difficult owing to the
rank growth of grass and weeds and
the rapid drying' of the soil which ren
ders it baken and crusted. The weath
er was generally favorable for growth
of crops, and there is a marked im
provement noted where they have
been cultivated, but the general condi
tion of all field crops is still poor.
There is a marked improvement in
cotton which looks well where work
ed, especially on clay soils, but is
still poor, yellow and small on sandy
and gray soils, with less complaint of
plants dying than last week. Lice
are prevalent in the central and east?
ern counties. There yet remains a
small portion of the crop to chop to
stands. Favorable progress was made
in cleaning fields of grass and weeds,
but much remains foul, and some will
be abandoned owing to the rank
gro.wth of grass and the scarcity of
laborers. First squares have been
noted in many parts of the State.
The conditions of corn is variable,
ranging from good to very poor, and
. much of the crop is suffering for want
of cultivation. In many places it is
yellow and undersized. Where proper
ly cultivated it is fine. Bottom lands
were prepared and planted during the
week. Worms continue destructive in
the southern counties. Rice looks
fairly well. A large acreage of June'
rice will be planted in the Georgetown
district. Melons are late. Wheat is
being harvested and the yields are
poor, owing to rust and too much
rain. Oats are ripe and being gener
ally, harvested, with yields ranging
from excellent to poor. Spring oats
continue promising. Peaches are be
ing shipped; the quality is good, but
the fruit is small. In places peaches
are rotting badly. Gardens are doing
well but need rain in the west. Pas
tures good. Minor crops generally
"promising.-J. W. Bauer, Section Di
rector.
W. F. Klumpp & Co.'s Cotton Crop
Letter.
The following cotton crop letter is
furnished by Messrs. W. F. Klumpp &
Co.:
The weather conditions the past
fortnight have continued unfavorable,
and private advices with few excep
tions report the crop to be very back
ward, compared with last season, far
mers being unable to work the fields
on account of the protracted rains. In
the eastern belt, the plant is making
better progress than in the central and
western belt, but as a rule over the
entire region the crop is doing poorly,
especially in Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, where the plant is badly in
the grass, and in Texas and Arkansa "
where the outlook in many section
is very discouraging, farmers havin
been unable to finish planting, ari
some fields being abandoned on ac
count of wet weather.
The crop is about two weeks later}
than usual, and considering the reduc
tion in acreage, of about 15., as- per
our crop letter of the thirteenth ult.,
the weather conditions of the next
thirty days are of greatest importance;
as they will throw more light on th
chances for a crop in keeping wit
consumption.
Weather conditions will continue t
govern prices for some time to come
Riot in Aiken County.
Columbia, Special.-A race riot is iij
progress at Bush, in Aiken county, th<
scene of the old Ellenton riots of th
reconstruction period. So far a whit
man named Burwell McClain is dead
and his son mortally wounded and tw
negroes are dangerously wounded
These were fired upon from the hous
of a negro named Gordon High. Mc
Clain had been deputized to go and?
bring a negro child to a magistrate, th
child being in dispute in a case to be'
tried before the magistrate. High de
fled McClain, who was re-enforced by
his son, and two negroes and High and
his friends fired upon the approach
ing party, with the result that Burwell
was killed and the others wounded
High then made his escape into the
^ forest. Other negroes have armed
themselves with Winchesters and shot;
guns and declared that they will pro-j
tect High, after whom a large and well-1
armed posse has started. High will be
lynched when he is caught. A long dis
tance 'phone message from Aiken says
further bloodshed is expected.

To Whiten the Hands.
To make the hands white, take a
tablespoonful of scraped horseradish
and pour on it half a pint of hot
milk. Use it shortly before washing,
allowing it to dry on the hands?
A Chamois Hint,
Chamois is one of the few things
which come out smooth and soft from
washing if wrung directly from thc
soapsuds without-rinsing in clear wat
er. The latter process tends to harden
it.
When Boiling Eggs.
Avoid the dark circle around the
yolks of hardboiled eggs by putting
them to cook in cold water and allow
ing them to boil slowly fifteen .to twen
ty minutes after the water 'comes to
the boiling point.
A New Pillow Cover.
A length of cretonne laid over thc
pillows is one woman's solution of
day bed dressing in these days when
fashion has declared pillow shams
quite passe. Of course, a spread of
cretonne to match goes without say
ing.
Furniture Coverings.
No one can really admire thc plain
brown holland slip coverings with
which furniture is shrouded in sum
mer. Chintzes and flowered linen taf
fetas make better coverings, and they
have the advantage of toning with the
general color scheme of the rooms.
Many of the new chintzes are exact
reproductions of old English designs.
Others are in conventionalized designs
to please the taste of those who do not
admire flowered surfaces.
Proper V/ay to Iron Fine Linen.
The doing up of fine undcrlinen ls
far more important in these days than
ironing a shirt, and a good living
awaits the woman who cares to learn
this art and practice it in the cities.
When these articles are washed and
dried, the raffles and trimming should
be dipped into weak starch, and rolled
down tightly, keeping all starched and
fine portions inside. Iron in about an
hour. First; of all, iron the sleeves,
then the ruffles at the bottom, then tho
back, and finally all the ruffles and
trimming and the front.
With skirts, the ruffles first, and
then the body part. Any crimping or
fluting must be done last of all, after
slightly damping the riffles over agaii:..
When ironing circular ruffles always
iron "with the thread" of the goods
and the ruffles will not sag. For white
skirts and for dresses a skirt board
is a necessity; it should bc about 15
inches wide at tho bottom and narrow
down toward the tip to about- nine
inches, and should be about five or five
and one-half feet in length. It is much
better to purchase the folding skirt
boards, being less expensive that hav
ing a carpenter make one. Cover with

GAS AM> WATEB.
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER?
atizona of Large Cities Say lt ll.
Kerr York, Juno 18.-In tho recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi
dent is as dependent upon a supply of
gas as upon a supply of good, water.
It has come to pass that the day la
borer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich mari uses gas ou account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern Improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that to as high
as $3.00 in stun Her towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-a
lene), and each user makes his Own gas
and is independent of Gas and Electric
Companies. Aceiyleue is a more per
fect illuminant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies in the cities, and
the cost to the smallest user is about
the equivalent of city gas at 85 cents
per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily ne
cessities.
The light from an acetylene flame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in qual

Then Brutus Fled.
Caesar turned his mournful glance
upon Brutus as that worthy plunged
in his knife. "Et tu Brute," moaned
the dying conqueror.
"Well," answered the murderer,
shamelessly. "I wouldn't have done
it if you hadn't such a terrible lot o?
Gaul."
Immediately there ensued a rio\
in the Forum and Brutus and Casca
fled for their lives . and never came
back. This was the first occasion
when that historic expression was em
ployed by any one, according to Livy,
though common nowadays.

Tree's Strange Crop.
There is a curious sight in the fork
o? an umbrella tree on Washington
street, between Fourth au. Fifth ave
nues. It is a fine growth of wheat
almost ready to come out into head.
The stocks are nearly two feet long
and the blades broad and healthy
looking. It was at first thought that
this growth consisted of shoots from
the tree, but on closer examination it
was found to be wheat. It has no
foundation pf earth, or if there is any
it is so hidden by the growth as to be
invisible. The wheat grains in some
way found lodgment in the crevices
of the bark and have probably had no
other earthy bed than that formed
by dust which during the dust storms
OL' the summer was blown there.-Ari

There's a reason.
Itali nar Rate Legislation.
At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect of pro
posed railway rate legislation on the
1,300,000 railroad employes, whom they
iii part represented. These resolutions
'.indorse the .attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebales
and other illegalities, aud commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the President ou this
question." They then, respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvisabil
ity of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country," be
cause such regulation would "result in
litigation and confusion aud inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the abil
ity of the railroads to .stand the reduc
tion, especially in view of the increased
cost of their supplies and materials."
They further protested against such
power hoing given to the present Inter
state Commission because "tue pro
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea of American juris
prudence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try, condemn and
thou enforce its decisions at tho cost
of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly inequitable.''
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would "secure and injsure justice aud
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation "is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up. the country
through constant improvement and de
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence amoug em
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employes obtain."
In pressing their claim against legis
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates of this country average ouly two
per cent, of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so insignificant a factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts
of the country."

Mrs. Mary Dimmick of Washington'leila
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable!
Compound Made Her Well,
It is with great pleasure we publish!
the following letters, as they convine-1
ingly prove the claim we have so many:
times made in our columns that Mrs.
Pinkliam, of Lynn, Mass., is fuliy quali?
fled to give helpful advice to sick women;
Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters.
Her first letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
" I have been a sufferer for the past eight
years with a trouble which first originated
from painful menstruation-the pains wcro
excruciating, with inflammation and ulcera-,
tion of the womb. The doctor says I must
have an operation or I cannot liv?. I do not
want to submit to an operation if lean possi
bly avoid it Please help me."-Mrs. Mary
Dimmick, Washington, D. C.
Her second letter;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
"You will remember my condition'when I
last wroto you, and that tho doctor said I
mast have an operation or I could not live.
I received your kind letter and followed your
advice very carefully and am now entirely
well. As my case was so serious it seems a
miracle that I am cured. I know that I owe
not only my health but my life to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your
advice. I can walk miles without an ache or
a pain; and I wish every suffering woman
would read this letter and realize what you
can do for them."-Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th
and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C.
How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
and how little it cost her-a two-cent
stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply!
As Mrs. Dimmick says-it saved her life.
Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands
of just such letters as the above, and
offers ailing women helpful advice.
