. Stephen R. Mallory, United States
senator from Florida, died at Uis
homo in Pensacola.
An Associated Press dispatch- un
der date of Denver, December 24,
follows: "The baggage car and first
coach of train No. 25, north-bound
cih the Colorado & Southern railroad
which left Denver at 10 o'clock this
morning, was blown from the track
and overturned in the ditch a quar
ter of a mile north of Marshall, a
coal camp ton miles south of Boulder,
about noon today. One person was
killed, five were seriously injured
and a number of others slightly
hurt."
This cablegram from St. Peters
burg was carried by the Associated
Press: "The trial of 169 members of
the first douma who signed the Vi
borg manifesto about eighteen
months ago, calling upon the citi
zens of Russia to stand up for their
rights, for popular representation
and for an imperial parliament, will
begin tomorrow before the court of
appeals. The former douma mem
bers are charged with high treason
and the promulgation of an appea
to the people, calling upon them to
refuse to pay taxes or serve In the
army and navy. The verdict of
guilty is anticipated,' as the gist of
the accusation is established by the
text of the manifesto and only a
technical defense can be interposed.
But there is no reason to anticipate
the infliction of the maximum pen
alty, which is death. The majority
of the defendants have abandoned
all hope of acquittal, but are look
ing forward to a light sentence, such
as a year's imprisonment, or some
similar punishment. The prominence
of the accused, however, among
whom are Prof. Serge Mournistoffj
former president of the lower house,
Petrunkevitch and many other leath
ers, and the total ineffectiveness of
the Viborg appeal may induce the
government to favor leniency. Seven
of tli1 leading- lawyers of Russia,
tl23lfcadfr by Vasill Maklakoff, the leadr
rof the constitutional democrats in
the second douma, and M. Talenko
will appear for the defense. The
prosecution will be conducted by
Crown Attorney Ebert. The trial is
expected to last ten days."
resolution, it is stated, declared they
were for Governor Hughes, but
thought It unwise to pass the reso
lution at this time."
Governor Broward has appointed
William James Bryan of Jackson
ville to succeed the late Stephen R.
Mallory as United States senator
from Florida. A Jacksonville dis
patch says: "Mr. Bryan Is a prom

THINKS IT IS NEWS
On the bulletin board of a large
brokerage house in New York on
Saturday, the following notice was
posted and it attracted a great deal
of attention:
Five thousand years ago Moses
came down from the Mount and
brouglit with him a tablet on which
was written, "Thou shalt not steal."
Two thousand years ago the same
advice was preached to mankind.
Today President Roosevelt is giv
ing the same advice, and Wall Street
thinks it is news. The Monitor.
NO TIME TO CELEBRATE
The brave ship was wallowing In
the waves that threatened to engulf
her at any moment.
Hastily the captain ordered a box
of rockets and flares brought to the
rail, and with his own hands ignited
a number of them in the hope that
they would be seen and the passen
gers and crew rescued.
'Mid the rockets' red glare, a talL
thin, austere individual found his
way with difficulty to the rail and
spoke to the captain;
"Captain," said he, "I "must pro
test against this dare-devilishness.
We are now facing death. This is
no time for a celebration." Success
