As a result of the recent financial crisis, the name of George B. Cortel
;you, secretary of the treasury, has become quite prominent before the public;
hit handling of the situation has brought him nothing but praise from all
quarters. Cortelyou first came before the public notice as stenographer to
President McKinley in 1S95; since then his rise has been rapid. He was the
first secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, recently estab
lished, and before assuming his present office he held the post of Postmaster
General.
A Wonderful Spring
fc-IEALING POWERS CLAIMED FOR
CALIFORNIA WATER.

, i.ob Angeles, Cal.--Down In the Cali
fornia desert, 150 miles i' from ' Los
Angeles and - around the spur of a
mountain Is a little valley owned by a
canny Scotchman, Dr. . Murray.' The
idoctor has brought the water from the
mountains near by and has 'created an
oasis In the desert." : lie has about
ton nroa. in nrsnircft and alfalfa, and
Wthlng could be' more pleasant to the
eye, after ranging over a sandy waste,
than this charming valley.
An Indian reservation adjoins the
(doctor's -ranch, and ' from . them he
leases for $100 per annum a rare
spring. The pool formed by this
Bpring is about as large as a good
'Sized room und is covered by a rude
shack.1 The uniform temperature of
the water is .100 degrees, and it is
said to have many healing properties.
,,' When a person first enters this pool
lils feet strike a soft, sandy bottom,
and he Is apparently in water about
i8 inches deep. All at once a ripple
goes over the surface, much as If a
stone had been thrown In, and near

HAULS MASTER TO SCHOOL.
Faithful . Dog Is Devoted to Crippled
;'' Marlon,-O. Remarkable devotion Is
" shown his young master by a large SL
- Bernard dog,, which, after having
'-watched at the sick bed of 14-year-old
Emmet Shoats for months, now hauls
, him to and froia the district school
house, half a mile ' away. Young
Shoats Is a cripple and unable to
walk. Any morning about eight o'clock
the Mg dog can be seen wending his
way down the pike drawing his little
master behind in a small wagon. The
faithful dog "hangs" around the school
Jhouae until evening and is always
there at the dismissal of school.
The dog and the boy have been
'..playmates since childhood. Until two
' years .- ago ': they romped together
' through the oods and pastures. One
' day in their play young Shoats hurt
'his leg. Since then he has been prac
tically an invalid. During the time
that the boy 1 was in a local hospital
. the dog seemed broken-hearted and
would scarcely eat. He fell away un
til he was, figuratively speaking, noth
ing but skin and bones. Now he is
full of health, and vigor. The old SL
' Bernard cannot be bought at any
price., - , ' .
BUG IN EAR FOR MONTHS.
Caused Boy's Headaches and Cams
; Near Taking Life.
Atlantic City, N. , J. Surgical ex
perts who opened the ear of nine-year-
old Somers-. Braddock, of Bakersvtlle,
to discover the cause of headaches,
which had been worrying the child for
months, found a dead beetle in the in
ner ear. 'Removal of the bug was fol
lowed by' immediate departure of the.
pain, and the' lad's heating will not
even be affected .by the insect's long
retddence in his ear tube. . - v
, The lad, was -sitting on the. porch
of ' his ' home one -night last summer
'when he screamed out that a bug had
crawled in his ear. His parents made
an examination, but failed to discover
.the' bug, and no more was thought of
the incident until the child began to
suffer from pains irhis head.
Surgeons who performed the opera
tion declare that, had the bug gone a
fraction of an inch farther into the
child's ear, it would have killed hiai.
THE TREASURY
cumference of the body, but how deep
one is afraid to think.
Hut the doctor calls there is no dan
ger and he takes his life in his hands
and plunges in. Down he goes up to
his neck, and, fearing a quicksand, he
calls out to the doctor, but he, smiling
imperturbably. bids him keep quiet
and wait results.
Presently he feel's a soft impact up
on the soles of his feet, and slowly but
Irresistibly he feels himself being
forced to the surface. Within the space
of three minutes he is again standing
in IS, inches of water, and the hole
has disappeared, only to appear a few
feet V further on. He hastens to It,
plunges in, and again he sinks to his
neck ' as before. Only one hole is
formed at a time, and between the
closing of one and the appearing of
another there is an interval , of about
five minutes.
In this wonderful bath one does not
require any brush or soap, but when
he comes out his skin is smooth and
spotless, here and there appearing
upon his body minute scales of silica.
After dashing a bucket of cold water
over himself he feels wonderfully in
vigorated and refreshed. People come
hundreds of miles to bathe in this
healing water, and if the doctor could
only move this spring to Los Angeles
he could make his fortune in a few
years. The Indians (the Mission tribe)
attach great value to the water and
use the overflow of the pool for bath
ing and drinking purposes.
ONE ON THE PRESIDENT.
W. F. Cody Tells a Story of Roose
velt's Quest of Bear Dogs. -
Denver, Col. "Buffalo Bill" Cody,
while a guest here, told this joke on
President Roosevelt:
When the president was in Colorado
hunting, the expedition was hard up
for bear dogs. On the third or fourth
day out Chief Guide Goff said: "Mr.
President, I know a man who has good
bear dogs. I will see if I can get
them."
"AH right," said the president, "do
it." But the man turned down the
guide. .
"I will go over and see him myself,"
said the president, and he did.
"Nothing doing," said the owner of
the dogs.
"Do you know who I am?" demand
ed the president, "I am the president
of the United States."
"Well," replied the dog owner, "I
don't care a if you are, and
wouldn t care a if - you were
Booker T. Washington, you couldn't
have my dogs."
And the president, concluding that
the dog owner knew his own business
best, went back to camp and told the
story with much glee.
COULD BARK LIKE A DOG.
Poet Rostand, Dupe for a Time, Be
comes Shrewd Detective.
.Paris. M. ' Edmond . Rostand, the
poet and dramatist, took a villa near
Bayonne recently and was kept awake
every night by a dog which bayed the
moon and roused all the other dogs
within earshot. A man named Fail-
letout, said he could stop the barking,
and actually succeeded in doing so.
A week later, however, the barking
started again, and M. Rostand recog
nized the1 dismal tones of the leader
of the chorus. He summoned Fail
lietout and questioned him as to his
alleged power over the animals. Fail
letout was flattered, and discoursed at
large.
j "And can you bark like a dog?"
asked M. Rostand, In Innocent admira
tion, Fallletout demonstrated.. "Ah
I recognize that bark." said M. Ros
tand, "don't let me hear it again at
night." Failletout departed crestfal
len, and no dog has barked beneath M.
Rostrand's windows: sincec. "
MANY KILLED IN MINES.
Over Two Thousand Men Gave Up
Their Lives in -1906.
Philadelphia. The total number of
men killed while mining coal in the
United States during 1906, according
to statistics gathered by the geolog
ical survey, was 2,061. The' number
of workmen receiving injuries in this
industry more or less serious, but not
fatal, was 4,798 during the same
period.
The death rate per thousand of
workmen was 3.4 or, in other words,
of every 1,000 coal miners over three
were killed and more than six seri
ously injured in accidents at the coal
mines. This is a heavy toll when It Is
considered that England's death rate
per 1,000 coal miners during last year
was only one. Every 190,353 tons of
coal mined in this country last year
cost one life.
The principal causes of death were
falls -of roof and coal, and explosions.
The deaths due to the former num
bered 1,008; gas a"nd dust explosions,
228; powder explosions, 80; miscel
laneous, 732. i
The number of men killed in Penn
sylvania mines during 1906 was: An
thracite, 557; bituminous, 447; total,
1,034, or more than half of the num
ber killed in the 20 states and terri
tories in which coal was mined. . But
Pennsylvania produced more coal than
all the other states and the territories
combined.
During the same period the number
of persons injured in accidents in'
Pennsylvania mines was: Anthracite.
1,212; bituminous, 1,160; total, 2,372.
Of those killed in Pennsylvania mines,
583 left widows and 1,294 children
were made fatherless. Pennsylvania's
death rate per 1,000 miners was. An
thracite, 3.43; bituminous, 3.14.
The state which made the lowest
record in the death rate per 1,000 for
1906 was Maryland, with 1.09. Colo
rado had the highest death rate, 7.74
per 1,000; West Virginia, second, with
5.65.
DROPS AFTER LONG FLIGHT.
Carrier Pigeon from South Carolina
Falls Exhausted in New York.
' New York. A bedraggled carrier
pigeon beat its way wearily, across the
upper bay in the driving rainstorm at
noon the other day, hovering over the
Battery sea wall a moment, and then
dropped to the coping of the Aquarium,
where it fluttered to the ground. A
passerby picked up the bird, which
made no attempt to escape,' and car
ried it inside the building.
Attached to the brass ring encir
cling the pigeon's leg was a strip of
thin wax paper, bearing the following
inscription:
"Introducing 'Beauty,' a record-
breaker. Left Charleston, S. C; De
cember 9, bound for Cooper square.
If I am in trouble give me a square
meal and pass me along." S
Beauty -got a square meal for
which he seemed ' very grateful; and
after a rest and a thorough drying out,
he was taken outside again and tossed
into the air. After circling 4 few
times to take his bearings, the pigeon
headed north on the last laD bf its
700-mile journey, and was quickly lost
to view. l
CHANGES IN LATIN QUARTER.
Old Structures Being Removed to. En
large the Lycee Saint Louts.
Paris. Rapid progress is i being
made in tne enlargement oi space oc
cupled by the Lycee Saint Louts, one
of the largest schools for boys in
France.
As a preliminary to the enlargement
old water tanks which some years ago
caused epidemics of typhoid and had
to be abandoned are being torn , down.
These tanks faced the Rue Racine,
which is one side of a large triangle
which the Lycee eventually will oc
cupy, the "other two sides being the
. . . . . , , , ' i .,
Boulevard est. oiicnei, on wmcu.is uie
present building and the Rue: Mon
sieur le Prince. i
The plan Is to ' pull down all the
buildings on this triangle in order that
the whole space may be devoted to
the institution's interesting changes.
A feature of this change is the nec
essary demolition of an old wall back
of Rue Monsieur le Prince. This wall
Is on the site of the most southerly
fortification of the wall of Paris in
the time of Philllpe Auguste; who
reiened from 1180 to 1225, and Is built
of the same stones.
Although the modernizing qf this
part of the historic Latin quarter is
said to be definitely decided upon,

TO ABOLISH THE LOCKSTEP.
Reform Is Established at Blackwell's
Island Penitentiary.
New York. Blackwell's Island Peni
tentiary, where minor offenders of
New York city's laws serve their sen
tences, will know the striped suit and
the lockstep no more.
John V. Cogge?, commissioner of
correction, announced the othter day
that he has decided to put an', end to
stripes and lockstep in the penlten
tiary, as he believed ths,t they did
much to kill any smoldering spark of
decency that may remain in the pris
oner when he is brought to the city
prison. Commissioner Coggey said:
"I find that most of the progressive
penal institutions throughout the coun
try have abolished the stripes And the
lockstep. I agree thoroughly with the
argument In favor of this action, that
it saves the prisoner from humiliation

Chicago. John Mitchell, president
of the United Mine Workers of Ameri
ca, announced finally that he would
not be a candidate for re-election. The
miners' chief denies a rumor that he
is quitting the labor field to enter
politics. It has been persistently ru
mored that a place in the cabinet of
President Roosevelt, awaited Mr. Mit
chell if he would go after it. "I am
quitting the . labor movement solely
because my health is impaired," said
Mr. Mitchell. "There is an impression
that I am retiring to accept an ap
pointment to some high political of
fice. I wish to say that so far as I
am concerned no tender of any politi
cal appointment has been made to me,
and if such a move is contemplated
1 know absolutely nothing about it."
New York. The Iron Age says:
The volume of new orders for fin
ished iron and steel is still light and
little improvement is expected during
the current, month. So far as figures
are available they justify an estimate
during November of about 40 per cent
of the capacity of the mills. Until
lately the steelmakers were most rad
ical in blowing out blast furnaces.
the United States Steel corporation
now having only 45 per cent of its
pig iron capacity in operation. Now,
however, the merchant furnaces are
pursuing the same course in increas
ing numbers. It is expected that by
the 15th of this month the greater
majority of the furnaces in the Mahon
ing and Shenango valleys will be
idle."

through legislation and opposing any
lurcher legislation or the kind. Mr.
O'Connell contends, as does also the
executive committee, that labor condi
tions in the south have beeri disturbed
by the legislation, which has caused
shortening of hours, and thereby re
duction of wages, as well as being the
direct cause of numbers of working-
men being laid off. t

KANSAS OUSTS FIRE CONCERNS.
Licenses of Companies, Which Didn't
Answer the Trust Suit, Revoked.
John S. Dawson, assistant attorney
general, filed the reply to the state
to the answers of the insurance com
panies 'in the anti-trust suit in the
district court at1 Topeka. The reply
is a general denial of- the facts set
out by the Insurance companies.
In discussing the suits Mr. Dawson
said: "The issues are now made up
and we will begin taking testimony
soon. Eight or ten minor companies
have been dismissed, as they are not
in the trust. The National has con
fessed judgment. All the others have
answered except the Commonwealth
Fire of Texas and the German Fire of
Indiana, which have filed successive
dilatory pleas. The attorney general
has recommended that the superih-.
tMident of insurance, Charles W..
Barnes, cancel the licenses of these
two refractory companies."
When Superintendent Barnes was
informed of the tactics of those two
companies he revoked the licenses
without delay. The companies have
no right to do business in Kansas now.
NO PRISON JOB FOR HIM.
The Rev. Mr., Sheldon of Topeka, It Is
Said, Will Refuse Hoch's Offer.
Governor Hoch offered the position
of .superintendent of tJle Hutchinson
reformatory to the Rev. Charles M.
Sheldon of Topeka, author of "In His
Steps,".) some time ago and has not
rc-ceived a definite reply; The Rev.
Mr. Sheldon is- greatly interested in
prison reform work and has bad conT
ferences with the governor regarding
the reformatory and the state prison,
At one of these conferences the gov
ernor told the minister he would like
to make him superintendent of the
reformatory. The Rev. Mr. Sheldon
said that ' he would consider it. It
is understood that the difference in
salary probably will cause the minis-,
ter to decline the place. In addition
to the monetary reasons, the Rev. Mr.
Sheldon feels that he can accomplish
more in his present work than he
could at the reformatory.
