The Career of
Harry OrcKard
Murder Machine
manner of man Is Harry
WHAT chief witness in the
Haywood trial in Idaho
Such a question has framed
Itself In the minds of all who have
followed the developments in the great
eat criminal case In the recent history
of the west The records of crime are
searched lu vain for any parallel to
the case of Orchard Altogether aside
from the result of the proceedings
against Haywood Orchard stands con
victed by his own testimony of a list
of crimes absolutely unmatched at
least in modern times One has to go
back to the days when Inhuman mon
sters exercising despotic powers as
kings or military chieftains butchered
people by the thousand for their amuse
ment to find any parallel to Orchard
AjhI even then there Is no real com
parison because the former usually
died in their sins unrepentant of their
crimes even If they realized they had
committed them while Orchard ap
pears in two widely different charac
tersthat of the bloody monster in
human form coolly going about the
assassination of men and women by
the score as a means of gaining his
livelihood and that of a repentant and
changed man overwhelmed with a
sense of the iniquity of his past life
willing to make the only reparation in
his power by complete confession of
misdeeds and forfeiture of his life and
ready to meet his fate trusting in the
mercy of his Creator The question
remains as to the sincerity of the man
in this the latest aspect of his career
According to Orchards testimony un
der cross examination he was prom
ised no immunity on account of his
confession and had It in mind to make
a full statement of his crimes even
before he met Detective McParland
He has even said that he does not
want any immunity and was moved to
confess his misdeeds because of his
desire for their forgiveness by a power
greater than any on the earth For
some time he had been growing dis
satisfied with his profession of murder
with being a sort of murder machine
and that was why he was so long in

HAItRT ORCHARD AND THE COURTHOUSE
AT JJOISE IDA
doing the job of blowing up Governor
Stcimenborg Twice his preparations
were such ttat his diabolic mission
could have been fulfilled but his nerve
failed him But gambling and hard
luck drove him back into the old trade
Then when the bomb had blown Steu
nenberg into fragments for the first
time his hardened heart revolted at the
brutality and Gendishness of his work
and when he was arrested and forced
during his confinement to think upon
his crimes he began to comprehend the
awful nature of the record he had
made
According to Orchards confession
he has been guilty of the following
misdeeds most of them undertaken as
he stated under contract and for pay
not because of animosity
1 Attempting to blow up the mill of the
Sullivan and Bunker Hill mine at Ward
ner Coeur dAlene and hang the super
intendent Two men were killed but the
superintendent escaped 2 Helping to
place the bomb in the Vindicator mine at
Cripple Creek -which killed two men 3

Peabodj of Colowdo 4 Shooting and
killing Deputy Lyte Gregory in Denver
5 Planning and helping to execute the
blowing up of the railroad station at In
dependence mine Colorado when four
teen men were killed 6 Attempting to

then living in San Francisco by putting
strychnine in the family milk pitcher on
the doorstep one morning 7 Arranging

Governor Steunenberg whicli proed his
crowning offense and according to his
own story led him to repentance
Orchard is an uneducated man but
it is agreed that he has mental powers
that might have made of him a very
useful citizen if they had been rightly
exercised Orchard says his real name
U Albert Horsley but he has passed
under many aliases He claims to be
a Canadian by birth

ROMANCE OF A PRINCESS
Alexandra Victoria and Her Royal
Fiance Prince August Wilhelm
Princess Alexandra Victoria of
whose betrothal to
Prince August Wilhelm fourth son of
the kaiser was recently announced is
seventeen years old and a charming
girl of simple unpretentious manners
She has been brought up to know how
to work in the kitchen is an excellent
cook and understands many lines of
housework which princesses are not
supposed to bother themselves about
PRINCESS AliEXATORA VICTORIA
She is the second daughter of Duke
Frederick of Sleswick Holstein and is a
niece of the German empress mother
of her fiance The latter is one of the
most promising of the kaisers sons
He is twenty years of age and has
manifested muGh talent and originality
The emperor thought at one time of
sending him to the United States not
for a visit ofvpomp and ceremony but
to study American institutions become
acquainted with typical American citi
zens and perhaps even take a course of
study at Harvard university The af
fair with the Princess Alexandra cul
minating in their engagement put an
end to plans for this American trip
Colonel Gores
Sanitary Work In
The Canal Zone
Colonel William C Gor
WHEN chief sanitary oIQcer of
the Panama canal zone ad
dressed the graduating clasa
of the medical department of Cornell
university on the subject of sanitation
he suggested to the fledgeling doctors
that a great opening exists for am
bitious and scientific medical graduates
in the direction of sanitary science
It Is a field that has come Into exist
ence within a comparatively few years
Now wherever there are large centers
of population in America there is a
demand for those skilled in sanitation
and in the semltroplcal countries their
services are in special demand for it
has been shown that in such countries
as Panama Cuba and various islands
of the Caribbean the climate is not
Inimical to the health of the Anglo
Saxon race if only there is good sani
tation On the strength of the results
at Panama Colonel Gorgas predicts
with confidence that in the course of
two centuries the settlement and de
velopment of the semitroplcai Amer
ican countries will have progressed to
such an extent that the centers of
wealth and population and civilization
will be in the tropics again as they
were at the dawn of history ne ex
pressed the opinion that with yellow
fever and malaria and other maladies
peculiar to the tropics banished life in
these climes will be found more health
ful than in the temperate zones
This idea of good sanitation has an
Intimate relation to the development
of the community along co operative
lines The tendency is now for the
public in its corporate capacity to do a
great many things that were formerly
left to private enterprise or perhaps
were not done at all The protection of
the public health is one of the things
that have come to demand a large
share of attention Medicine and oth
er branches of science are called on to
pnntribntn tlipir miota toward the
grand result of minimizing the evils
of disease and making people healthier
and therefore happier Wonderful re
sults have been achieved by the Amer
ican sanitary exports in Panama Cu-
COLONETi WHIiIA3I C GORGAS
ba Porto Itico and the Philippines
Yellow fever has been wholly stamped
out in Panama by the extermination
of the species of mosquito that spreads
this disease and malaria has been re
duced to a minimum It is claimed
that sickness is no more frequent in
the canal zone than in the average
city of the United States Yellow fever
was banished from Cuba under Amer
ican control but returned again when
the native government allowed super
vision to grow lax It has been driven
out again since American control of
the island was resumed
It is now recognized that the mosquito
is largely responsible for the preva
lence of malaria in certain localities
and the suffering and annoyance for
which this insect is responsible have
hindered the development of districts
in the neighborhood of large cities and
kept down the values of real estate
In recognition of thisthe New Jersey
legislature recently appropriated 3o0
000 for the prosecution of the war
against the mosquito and a corps of
sanitary experts has gone to work to
spy out the breeding places and treat
them in such a way as to exterminate
the pest so far as possible Staten Is
land now a part of New York city has
achieved considerable success in this
direction by drainage of salt marshes
and is rapidly losing its unenviable
fame as a mosquito infected district
In New Jersey the drainage of one
mosquito infected district resulted this
year in the building of 100 new houses
and one real estate owner not a large
holder either estimated the increase
in the value of his property at 50000
Capitalists are coming to see the
value more and more of sanitary sur
roundings for their employees and to
realize that from the business point of
view alone it pays to spend money to
have such surroundings as they should
be One of the good results of the in
vestigation into the meat packing in
dustry of Chicago was the increased
attention the packers were forced by It
to pay to sanitation and the physical
welfare of their employees generally
When Colonel Gorgas first took up
his work at Panama a good deal of fun
was made of his bug brigade Then
when the homes of residents were in
vaded and tons of sulphur pyrethrum
and other things that did not smell
sweet were burned under their noses
while hundreds of barrels of oil were
poured on waters that had not been
troubled for years jokes turned to
anathemas But even the Panamans
have come to see the value of sanitary
science now
Irish Church Bells
It was about the time of St Pat
rick In the fifth century that bells
began to be adopted In the Christian
church though their use In other di
rections was long anterior to Chris
tianity as Mr Layard records having
found some in the palace of NImroud
The first Christian bells like Patricks
weighed only a few ounces and from
that day gradually Increased till the
greatest weight was reached at Mos
cow with 198 tons of beautifully en
riched work a strange contrast to the
humble Patraic
or bell of Patricks well sometimes
referred to as the bell of Armagh with
Its diminutive dimensions of six Inches
high by five Inches broad four inches
deep made of thin sheets of hammer
ed iron bent into a four sided form
fastened with rivets and brazed or
bronzed Tills bell Is at once the most
authentic and the oldest Irish relic of
Christian metal work that has de
scended to us writes W J Fennell In
the Belfast Gazette and Is mentioned
In the Annals under the date of 552
Tho Puffed Out Chest
The puffed out chest is a delusion
which has succumbed to scientific
knowledge of the human body said a
drill officer It came Into existence
purely for show reasons or from false
analogy It was seen that men deep
in the chest were strong men and the
old drill sergeants probably imagined
that by making men throw out their
chests they would make them strong
as well as make them look strong
which is a complete mistake Instead
of strengthening a man puffing his
chest tends to weaken him as it
throws a strain upon the heart We
now tell men to be sure and not puff
out their chests If you puff out your
chest and do dumbbell exercise you
are to hold the breath That strains
the heart Any exercise that prevents
breathing freely is bad Knotted mus
cles are also wrong You see a man
with immense chest muscles and per
haps you think he is really an ideally
trained man but such muscles simply
bind the chest and tie the heart down

A Catch Question
Of Bishop Short Avho held the see of
St Asaph many curious stories are
told Occasionally he put questions to
candidates for ordination that appar
netly had no connection with the dis
charge of their parochial duties They
tested probably their wit or tact two
necessary qualifications to public men
but nothing more One such question
proposed by the bishop Avas the fol
lowing Whicli has the greatest num
ber of logs a cat or no cat
As might be expected this created a
titter but the bishop would not take a
laugh as the answer and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem At last
one of the candidates smiling said I
should think my lord a cat
No retorted the bishop there you
are wrong for a cat lias four legs and
no cat has five London Telegraph
A Thing of Many Names
The Thames has been the cause of
much controversy Its name has been
variously stated as Tameses Taniese
Tamiscs at the juncture of the Isis
and Tame near Dorchester Tamisa
Tamesa Thamisia Thamesis and final
ly Isis where it flows between the Ox
fordshire and the Buckinghamshire
shores Thus at Oxford it is still of
ten called the Isis until it receives the
shallow river Tame just below Doches
ter from Avhich point it is called
Thames Historians trace this error
to an early attempted division of the
Latin word Tainosis into two words
Tame esis or Tame isis suggested per

Buckinghamshire The Saxons called
it the Thames ancient maps and docu

havo the same faith in Doans Ointment
that I had four years ago I use it oc
casionally and find that it always gives
the same satisfactory results Off and
on for thirty years I was annoyed with
tetter or salt rheum as some call it on
my hands They would scale over and
then break out little bunches appearing
and the itching would be so intense I
could not resist rubbing the parts and
this irritated them and made them worse
I tried nearly everything recommanded
to such annoyances and consulted doc

if any relief until I learned of Doans
Ointment and procured it Its use
