MISS DOWNS MASTERS
SHORTHAND IN EIGHT WEEKS
pupils of Bagwell Bus
iness CollegeC ontinue
to Make New
Records.
Since January 1 Bagwell Business
College has published the records of
not less than thirty pupils wfiio ware
nlaced in positions after six to twelve
weeks’ study of Chartler Shorthand,
giving in teach case the position held
2nd the time spent In preparation. All
of them are giving entire satisfaction.
GIVE PUBLIC A SQUARE DEAL
There Is no argument like that of
facts. Let competitors who have con
tended that Chartler Shorthand could
not make good Its claims publish their
records, showing number placed, giving
positions held and time attended school
In each case, so that those Interested
may Investigate. Competitors have
claimed that such records are tha
bright exceptions. With the old sys
tems they are the rarest exceptions, bUt
with the Chartler they are the rule..
THE DIFFERENCE.
The old systems contain hundreds
of difficult rules and exceptions, thou
sands of word signs and senseless con
tractions, all of which must be mastered
thoroughly before the student Is pre
pared to take general dictation.
Chartler Shorthand consists of the
alphabet and ten simple rules. That’s
all. By devoting only a part of the
time each, day to shorthand, putting
the major part on typewriting and the
practical English branches, the aver
age pupil can at the end of one month,
take any ordinary business letter at a
speed of at least fifty words per min
ute. It requires from three to five
months of diligent application to reach
the same speed with the old systems,
such as Graham.

IF THAW IS ACQUITTED
WILL HE RUN FOR CONGRESS?
By ADA PATTERSON.
New York. April 6.—Since the evi
dence Is all in, Harry Thaw declared
technically sane, the district attorney’s
light for more delay won and his cry
for "time, more time,” settled, the
minds of those who have followed the
elongated case look past the oratory
of the summing up to the future of the
young couple who have been tho toys
In the maelstrom of events.
It Harry Thaw Is fried, will his dom
inant ambition reassert Itself? That
ambition took the form. It will be re
membered, of politics.
“Join me and we will rule Pitts
burg," he wrote, in effect, to Evelyn
Nesbit In one of his strange love let
ters. “We will rule, if rot socially,
through politics. I.can have anything
I want there.”
What he granted or might later want,
It developed In that same love letter,
was a seat In congress, possibly In the
United States senate. One can scarce
ly Imagine the most spectacular young
man that ever came nut of Pittsburg
occupying a chair In the senate cham
ber.

Washington, April 6.—Disclosures
which followed the publishing of the
Harrlman-Webster fetters through the
betrayal of trust of one of Mr. Harrl-
man’s discharged clerks, und the ex.
change of statements between Harrl
man and President Roosevelt has re
suited In a call by Perry Belmont for
a session of the natlonnl publicity
committee to Investigate tho expenses
of the different campaign committees.
William Jennings Bryan and Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, will both deliver
addresses calling for the publication
all details.
The failure of the Republican party
to enact legislation preventing in fu
ture the contribution of trust funds
to turn national elections, will prob
ably be dwel upon. The Tillman bill
preventing contributions by national
banks was passed, but railroads, life
insurance and other corporations were
not referred to In that measure and are
still free to give.
An Interesting bit of gossip that
being circulated In political circles here
Is that Judge Parker had In his pos.
session In 1904 a check for a consider,
able amount contributed by a large
corporation to tho Republican cam
palgn,
Parker's Charges.
The denial was Issued by President
Roosevelt on November 4, 1904, and
was contained In the following Ian
guage:'
“Mr. Parker’s charges are In effect
that the president of the United States
and Mr. Cortolyou have been In a con
spiracy to blackmail corporations, Mr.
Cortelyou using his knowledge gained
while he was secretary of commerce
and labor to extort money from the
corporations, and I, the president, hav
ing appointed him for tills especial pur
pose. Mr. Parker’s accusations against
Mr. Cortelyou and me are monstrous.
The statements made by Mr. Parker
are unqualifiedly and atrociously
false.”
PAJAMA GIRL PROTO
A FIGHT AND A FINE
Judge Broyles put himself on record
Friday as being strenuously opposed to
high art, when he fined a young man
for showing two women friends a pic
ture of a girl In pajamas, and released
another young man who tried to whip
him about it.
Edgar Henderson and Fred Lawshe
are the two young men. They were
having a pleasant chat Thursday after
noon, when Henderson. It seems, took
out the picture In question. It repre
sented a lassie In pajanmas "decollet-
ted" at the knee.
When the two ladles left Lawshe ex
pressed his disapproval. The fight that
followed was pronounced quite Inter
esting, although there was a noticeable
lack of training, and It was a free-for-
all rather than a scientific exhibition.
Henderson paid $6.76 toward main
taining the police department of the
city.

New Orleans, La., April 6.—In a tele,
phono message received this morning
from Mayor W. B. Turner, of Alexan.
drla, La., declining proffered assistance
from New Orleans and declaring the
ability of the city to provide for the
losses occasioned by the tornado, an es
timate Is mode that the storm loss at
Alexandria, Its environs, across the
river and along the bayou, w ill not ex
ceed half a million dollars.
The message said there were either
five or six lives lost, but not positive
which, and fifteen Injured, all of whom
are doing well. Fears are that consid
erable damage has been done tho early
crops, especially early potatoes, the sea
son's output being many hundred car
loads.
New Orleans, La.. April 6.—The tor
nado, which swept across portions of
three states yesterday, was distinctly
traceable for a distance of a hundred
miles, and It took about eleven hours
In crossing this zone. The tornado
moved from west to east, crossing tho
southern extremities of Louisiana and
Mississippi, and striking Into Alabama
for a short distance. Portions of four
towns weVe devastated, and the dis
turbance did general damage to prop
erty, crops and telegraph wires
throughout its 300-mlle course.
The tornado began at Alexandria,
La., soon after 1 o’clbek yesterday
morning, killing four persons, probably
fatally Injuring three, and seriously In
juring thirteen others. Soon after day
light It neared the Mississippi river,
killing flvo persons ut Jackson, La,
while at Bayou Sara La., at least half
a' dozen others arc reported killed.
Thqre was one fatal- Injury At Carson,
Miss., where great property damage
was done, and the last heard of It was
about noon near Selma Ala., where the
Inhabitants saw whirling clouds rise
Into the air as they crossed the river.
Ono death, a negro, was reported near
Selma.
At Bayou Sara several passengers on
the steamer Betsy Ann. running to
Natchez, had a thrilling experience. The
Betsy Ann was reduced to almost a to
tal wreck. While the breaking timbers,
both from the steamer and from the
shore, flow through the air, the crew
got all the passengers safely ashore.
At Carson, Miss., the next point the
tornado struck, the Mississippi Central
railroad depot was blown down, also a
church, school house and two big build
ings, and several cabins. Here the tor
nado's path was but 200 yards wide,
and the wind blew from the southeast.
From Carson the stomn crossed the
state line into Alabama, where It began
to lose much of Its destructive power.
A remarkable report comes from the
State Insane Asylum at Jackson, La..
where nearly all the patients were left
without shelter, twenty of them se
riously Injured. Several cases of
chronic hysteria are reported to have
been shocked Into what their physicians
declare may prove permanent recov
ery.
Governor Blanchard has rushed tents
_id cots from the state military t
plies for the temporary housing of
asylum Inmates. The governor Issued
a statement that the damage to. the
asylum Is not above $100,000.
Montgomery, Ala, April 6.—Reports
from various parts of Alabama tell of
death and devastation from the cyclone
which swept through the southern and
eastern portions of the state yesterday.
The most serious damage Is reported In
Crenshaw county, at Bradleyton. The
home of Hugh Farrier, a prominent
ilanter, was blown down. Instantly
.filling Mr. Farrier and his 6-year-old
son, and fatally Injuring Mrs. Farrier.
The storm tore up the tracks of the
Atlantic Coast Line from Petrey to
Patsburg, a distance of several miles,
while the house of Dan Jordan and the
store of Dr. J..B. Ford, near Luverne,
were destroyed. The storm first struck
this section at'12;$0 o’clock, and a few
hours later the tornado struck at Brad,
leyton, causing the Farrier tragedy.

ASKS A NEW TRIAL
New Orleans, La., April 0.—After five
consecutive days, the argument In the
Greene-Gnynor case was closed by P.
W. Meldrim, of Savananh, yesterday
evening with an appeal to the court for
a new trial.
.Mr. Mcldrlm claimed that It was t
violation of the national honor to ex
tredlte prisoners, as he said had been
done In Greene and Gaynor’s case, for
an extraditable offense, and then to
take advantage of the Jurisdiction thus
gained to try them on Indictments for
dllfcrent offenses. Ho repeated the
claim of the defense that extradition
had been for participation In fraud by
an ugent or trustee, while one of the In
dictments was for conspiracy, which
was not an extraditable offense. As for
the two other indictments, he declared
the prisoners could qot be tried for any
offense except that which they had been
extradited for.
Captain Carter's alleged fraudulent
specifications, Mr Meldrim said, were
precisely the same as those of hts pre
decessor, except the provisions for an
eight-hour day, American labor, and
that good order be preserved m the
work.
The court took the case under con
sideration. Judges Shelby, Pardee nnd
McCormick constitute the court.
