Her Brother s Letters
x Letter Number Three
In Which the Brother Talks to
His Sister About Never Marry
ing a Man Until She's Got
Another Man's Honest
Opinion of Him.
"A girl should never marry a fellow
until she's got another man s honest
opinion of him. She can always get
such an opinion, Kittens, even where
she has no father or brother.
There's always a straight chap
somewhere around whom a girl
can go to, and that sort of man
will never refuse to be honest
with suoh a girl if she will be
honest with him and if she
will heed what he says when he puts the facts before her and not go off
on that silly tangent of reforming a man after marriage! If a girl likes
to play the role of a martyr and that sort of thing seems to appeal to
a lot of girls it's about the surest way to a perfect hell on earth (for

THANKSGIVING

Why not go into the Clothing question
In a sensible way. If you are going to
buy Clothing this winter why not buy it
now and have fhe satisfaction of wearing
it on Thanksgiving Day. Wouldn't that
be a better way than waiting three or four
weeks.
"But I haven't the cash," perhaps
you'll say, and our answer is this
You don't need cash your Credit is
as good as cash you can buy all the

CUBAN CONGRESSMAN HUNTED
Pino On err a. Wanted for Conspiracy
at Havana, Mar Hare Taken
the' Field.
HAVANA, Nov. 24. It Is persistently re
ported from San Juan de Martinez, province
of Plnar del Rio, that Congressman Pino
Guerra, who 1b charged by the prosecuting
Judge of San Juan de Martinez with being
the leader of the Insurrectionary plot In
that vicinity, and who Is evading capture,
now has a following of over fifty men, anil
It Is said that other friends of the con
gressman, former officers of the revolu
tionary army, have similar followings.
General Rodriguez, commander of the
rural guards. Informed the Associated Press
that there Is absolutely confirmatory evi
dence of these rumors and showed the cor
respondent the replies received by tele
graphic Inquiries made to the commanding
officers In Plnar del Rio, all of whom de
nied that anything had occurred beyond
what had already been reported and stated
that the country between San Juan de Mar
tinez and Guanez, where the insurgents are
reported to be, Is all open, consisting of
tobacco fields. All the officers of the rural
guards discredit the report that Congress
man Guorra has uny considerable follow
ing. In the entire province of Plnar del
Rio there are at present about 400 rural
guards.
C.ilonel Piedra, who Is wanted in Havana
In connection with the finding of arms at
Cerro, a suburb of Havana, Is supposed to
have gathered together a band of about
twenty Insurrectionary comrades near
Batabano.

DUX'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Higher Temperature Checks letsil 8a1ei
tf Seasonable Yerehandia.
CLOUD ON THE LABOR HORIZON
Strike la Building; Trades Mar later,
'ere with Construction Which
la Now at Hlah Water
Mark.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24 R. G. Dun A
Company's weekly review of trade to
morrow will say:
Fundamental conditions are unchanged,
although higher temperature at many
points again checked sales of heavyweight
wearing Apparel and other seasonable
merchandise. Labor conditions In the build
ing trades have not Improved and another
serious struggle may occur which would
be most unfortunate In view of the large
operations under wav and contemplated.
Otherwise the situation Is satisfactory
and the outlook bright with mercantile
collections steadilv improving. Holiday
trade gathers impetus as the season ad
vances. Comparisons with last year's fig
ures continue favorable, this week's gains
being swelled by the holiday a year ago,
but equilibrium In this respect will be re
stored neit week. Leading industrial un
dertakings report little Idle machinery and
there is less complaint regarding car short
age, railway earnings thus far available
for November exceeding last year's by 6.4
per cent. Foreign commerce at this port
for the last week showed a loss of I1.0S9.
032 In exports and a gain of (63,177 In im-
fiorts as compared with the same week
ast year. It Is customary at this time of
year to find a general quieting down In the
iron and steel business, normal conditions
do not prevail this season. Although the
leading Interests have prevented any sen
sational inflation of prices, all divisions of
the market have hardened sufficiently to
accelerate the operations of consumers who
believe that It is the part of wisdom to
prepare for future requirements.
Activity continues at textile mills, but
the primary markets for cotton goods were
decidedly disturbed by the violent advance
in raw material.
Quiet conditions continue In the market
for parker hides, chiefly because orders
cover deliveries so fur Into the future that
Hellers are indifferent regarding new busi
ness. Leather remains quiet because of
tho light offerings of such varieties as are
wanted. New Kngland footwear factories
aro hurrying contracts for delivery be
fore the close of the year and also cutting
the next season's goods.
Failures this week numbered 23 In the
Tnlted Ptates against 205 last year and
thirty-four in Canada compared with
thirty a yetfT ago.

Adams, cashier In the. United States assay
office here, for embezzlement, indicates
that instead of stealing Jia.000 in gold dust,
to which he has confessed, his peculations
may amount close to $200,000 and that in
stead of covering a period of six months,
they will run farther back than I9u3.
Adams' bondsmen today withdrew from
the $30,000 bond given last night, and
Adams was remanded to Jail to uwalt his
preliminary hearing.
Several Alaska men havo already In
formed the federal officials that they ha-e
been defrauded by some one In the assay
office. One man declares that out of $6.oii0
In gold dust deposited there only $5,200 was
returned to him.
Friends of the, family have not dared to
Inform Mrs. Adams of her husband's
trouble, for she Is very ill, and the news
might kill her. Mrs. Adams was Miss
Emily Clarny, a well known society girl.
A fow days ago she became a mother.

Dougherty has pleaded guilty to five of
the forgery charges against him and will
be taken to the Jollet penitentiary either
tonight or tomorrow. lie appeared before
Judge Worthington at 10.45 o'clock this
morning, plead guilty and was given a
sentence of from one to fourteen years on
each of the five counts, the same to be
concurrent.
Tho prisoner accompanied by W. L.
Irwin one of his attorneys, his son Ralph
and a deputy sheriff left this Jail at 10:30
o'clock. As he left the building Dougherty
said to the Jailer: ,
. "Well, I guess I'll have to do It."
All Property Turned Over.
In the court room there were TOO
spectators who had heard that the former
educator and financier would plead guilty.
Attorney Irwin addressed the court. He
said that Dougherty had turned all of his
property over to him and that he (Irwin)
had been given right of attorney to settle
the affairs of the prisoner. He added that
Dougherty's property would amount to
more than the school board defalcations.
He admitted that Dougherty had beer,
careless and that he stood willing to take
his punishment.
Judge Worthington replied as follows:
"I find it necessary to send him to the
penitentiary, as the law provides. It will
be a severe punishment. In count No. 200
the sentence will be confinement in the
penitentiary at Jollet, 111., for an Indeter
minate term not less than one or more
than fourteen years, solitary confinement.
In counts 21, 240, 43 and ?.H tho same sen
tence. That Is all."
While the court was rpeaing Dougherty
looked straight ahead of him mid did not
move a muscle. He SHid nothing when
i the sentence was pronounced and was
j taken back to Jail, escorted by his nttur
' heys.
Million Hollars Mlsslna.
j Dougherty's action today whs as unex
j pected ss it was astonishing, ho having last
weca pieaoea not guilty to the sanm
charges. Rut the refusal of Judge Worth
ington to quash the Indictments against
li i in and tho fact that the November grand
Jury is now in session ready to return
others that would tie free of any of the
errors charged In the first so tightened tho
colls aro'ind the prisoner that lie could
see no way out. He therefore threw him
self on the mercy of the court, trusting
that his old friend would deal as leniently
as possible with him. This marks the.
closing scenes of the most astounding
school fund robbery ever brought to puhllo
notice. For twenty-five yearn Newton C
Dougherty, as city superintendent and foi
nearly twenty years as secretary of 1 1 1
board, had almost absolute control of the
school funds. He Issued script and handled
notes and checks as if they, were his own
property.
As president of the Teorla National bans
he was enabled to cover up his peculatlorf
so well that from June 30, 1904. to June 30,
1905, the school fund shortago amounted tn
$940,000. While all of the books of the
I board have not been examined by a special
auditing committee now at work, It Is cur
rently believed thai the aggregate amount
of money taken will reach $1,000,000.
