In his strati came Li Thar of Johns H.i kins univtrpity. airivin about 2 o'clock thi.s morning". The patient's pulse was still good and when Dr. Thayer left the embassy at 3 o'clock for Baltimore the ambassador was resting so comfortably that a cablegram was sent to his son-in-law. Mr. Kromley, in London, that there was no immediate danger. Soon after- 3 o'clock a distinct weak ness of the heal t developed and his pulse began to cohapse. He died so peacefully that it surpriset. even his pVnsickin who feared that the asth matic affection would prove trouble some when the end came. At tile bedside when the distinguished diplomat passed away, were Luly Pauncet'ote, the Honorable Maude I'auneefote, Miss Sibyl and Miss Audrey, Dr. Jung and Mr. Itadford, one of the del ks attached to the embassy. As soon as it became generally known that Lord Pauncefote was dead, tlags weie half-masted over the different em bassies and ligations. At the Arlington hotel here the visiUng FYenehmen who have tome to witness the KoLambeau statue unveiling. are stopping, the Fr-neh (lag was placed at half-mast. Th- news of Pord I'a uncefotc's death brought cretary Hay to the White Mouse shoitly after o'clock and he spent some time with the president, considering what action should be taken by tins government. After ihe confer ence it was announced that the presi dent would call at tlie Pi itish embassy immediately after tlie unveiling cere monies to offer his personal condolence and asi ertain the wishes of Pord Pauneiote's family in regard to fur ther plans. The president also sent a letter of condolence to Pady Paunce fote. Immediately after the unveiling ceiemonies the tlag on the White House was placed at haif-mast. Mrs. P. Z. Peiter, wiio was to have given a recep tion in honor of the French delegation tins afternoon, has called it off on ac count of Pord Pauncefote's death and it is very likely that the French ambassa dor also will recall the invitations to his X e l e p t i o n t o n i g n t OFFICIAL COXD iLEXfE. Immediately upon being notified of the drain of Purd Pauncefote. Secretary Hay went to the White house and. after a short conference with th president, proceeded directly to the British em bassy, where he made a formal call of condolence as the personal representa tive of the president, preliminary to the call which the president himself was to make later in the day. Then, return ing to the state department. Secretary Hay dispatched the following cable gram .Department of State, Washington, Slav 24. liie.'. The Marquis of Pansdowne.

JOHN' HA V.

At first there seemed to he an incongruity in this, but it ap peared that an act of congress required the statue to be unveiled on this date, and although there was every disposi tion in official circles and c n the part of the French embassy to defer the cere monies until another day in deference to the memory of the deceased, yet they fIt bound to carry forward the pro t;rH in me. All through the past winter Lord Paunce f..te had been a sufferer from intermittent attacks ot asthma and rheumatic gut, but lit1 Pra veiy k-pt on his f :et as much as possible, went to the state department re? ularlv on diplomatic days and generally simve to kfrj) up his active duties, though it was cvi(i..i:t mat the effort it caused him was f,'n at. In the early Part of March the ambassador went to North Carolina on a visit to George Vanderbilt at Biitmore and stayed tle-re for about a fortnight in the hope of recuperating from his af liicti'Mi in the Carolina pines. He returned to Washington about The middle of the moir.h w ii ti his sufferings little abated.

A SURPRISE TO LONDON. London, Miy 24. The news of the death of Pord Pauncefote, the British ambassador at Washington, this morn ing was conveyed by a representative of the Associated Press to the British foreign office and the United States em bassy. The oll'u ials were greatly shock ed and expressed the deepest sympathy with the widow and a realization of the loss which both countries have sustain ed. The foreign oifice representatives were particularly affected as, apparent ly, they had no idea that the ambassa dor's condition had been critical. No action will be taken, in all probability, except the sending of private messages of condolence, before Monday next. S KPT OH OF HIS CAREER. The Biyht Hon. Lord Pauncefote of Preston, i. C. ii., O. O. M. G the first ambassador to the Pnited States and the dean of the diplomatic corps in Wash ington, was born in Munich. Bavaria, 74 years ago, and was the issue of one of tlie most ancient of British families, whose history is found in the Domesday book. Educated as a lawyer, his govern mental service began? in Hong Kong as attorney general in 1.65, and after much valuable colonial experience he came to Washington in 189. first as minister and afterwards as first ambassador. His service here has been one unbroken rec ord of successful diplomacy. The P.ering sea negotiations W'ere among his earliest works of importance and it was his familiarity with that dif ficult subject that led to his selection by ttie foreign oltlce for the post at Wash ington. The arbitration treaty negoti ated with Secretary Olney was the fore runner of the great work accomplished at The Hague, and it may be said that it embodied some of the most important principles of the great general conven tion regulating arbitration afterwards framed by The Blague conference. Then came a number of reciprocity treaties and arrangements involving a vast amount of study and work, all of which were perfected as far as the executive branch of our government could co operate with Lord Pauncefote. Soon after Secretary Hay assumed of fice. Pord Pauncefote began the task which he himself regarded as the great est accomplishment of his busy life, nameiyt to lorever set at rest the ques tions growing out of the old Clayton Bulwer treaty and he entered with en ergy again upon negotiations, the re sult of which was the framing of th? Hay-Pauncefote treaty recently rati fied. For these valuable services the Uritish government did Lord Paunce fote the honor to three times extend the term of his service at Washington, which would otherwise have ceased when he attained the age of 70 years.

Favors Sustaining President and Cuban Reciprocity. EXPLAINS HIS POSITION Third District Friends Insisted on Ills Candidacy. Wants Harmony and Strength in Republican Party. State Auditor George W. Cole -will be the Bailey candidate for chairman of the Republican state convention. He consented to make the race this after noon. A large number of Cole's friends in the southeastern part of the state have been urging him for chairman, and the friends of Air. Bailey have joined with them. Mr. Cole hung back at first, but he finally consented to stand for the chairmanship. It is clained that Cole will have at least 600 votes for the chairmanship, no matter who the anti-Bailey forces may put up against him. "My local friends in my part of the state wanted me to run," said Mr. Cole wht n asked about it, "and then the Bailey peo ple joined in, so I finally consented. Now I am in I propose to win." When asked about nts policy Mr. Cole said "Well, I favor a course that will blinsr harmuny and strength to the Republican party in the state. Nothing will do inure to build up the party than a hearty sup port of President Roosevelt and his pol icies. "1 am. therefore, m favor of the conven tion passing a str-mg rt solution sustaining the president and his policies, and espe cially the one he tius so much at Jieutt, 'CutMn reciprocity.' IN A QUANDARY. Police Committee of City Coun cil Discusses lievenues. A long and important meeting- of the police committee was held Kriday even ing, at which the principal matter un der discussion was the best method to regulate the joint and slot machine business in Topeka, Mayor Parker at tended the meeting, also Chief of Police "onovan. Those who were at the meet ing are not inclined to make any posi tive statements as to what policy was decided uuon, but it Is understood that several lawyers have been called upon to give legal advice to the committee on the best method to keep the city out of needless litigation, and at the same time make the joints and slot machines con tribute some revenue to the city. The committee also decided that Geo. Clark, the football man who was ap pointed on the police force two weeks ago, had served the city long enough. His official head was summarily remov ed "for cause." Clark made two bad bleaks, both on the same day, and thev cost him his job. He had only been on the police force a few days when Ser geant Owens in raiding a disorderly house, found Clark within. Clark wtis given notice that such a thing must not occur again, although at that time Clark was not on duty. But that very night, another disorderly house was pulled, and igain Mr. Clark was caught. The second offense was serious, because Clark was supposed to be at the time on duty in a distant part of the city. The committee decided to save one man's salary by not appointing anybody in the place of Clark. Clark is a success in the rush line of a football team, but he does not seem to be cut out for a po liceman. ONLY FIVE WILL STAND. Forty City Liquor Ca es Found to Be Defective. Out of 45 city liquor cases remaining to be tried in the district court, City Attor ney Spencer has ascertained by investiga tion that 40 are detective because of ex police Jude Frank Lindsay's mistakes in drawing up the transcript and complaint. The only co:n plaints and transcripts prop erly drawn are in the following cases: G. C. "Chesnev, &m G. C. Chesnev, 3S; Fritz Lnirein. 3KU; Bill Reid, and Wade Watts, 3bH7. It is probable that the 40 cases which are detective wiil be dismissed when they come up at the next term of court. City Attorney Spencer says: "We are going to try to fix these things up, but 1 can't say yet what we will be able to do.' The list of cases which are vk-feetive are against the following jointis and alleged jointists: Chas. Lawson, Kd i'imon. E. C. liussum, Mjiick Watson. Geo, Klauer, Geo. Klauer (2). Nick Chiles.

A strong wind storm passed over this section this morning, doing considerable damage. In North Atchison several small buildings were blown over and many trees were uprooted, while in the country north east of Atchison outbuildings, barns and windmills were demolished and sev eral churches were partially wrecked. At the Soldiers' Orsihans' Home the roof of the main building and one wall of the hospital caved in. but no one was injured. The wind was accompanied by a deluge of rain which washed out two or three small bridges and did mucn damage to roadways, fence and crops. UNVEILED. Statue of .Marshal De Rochani heau Uncovered In the Presence of Representa tives of Two Republics. GREAT CHEEIUVENT UP As the Countess I)e Kochamhean Pulled the Cord Which Revealed to A'iew the Warrior in Bronze. Washington, May 24 The president of tfie United States joined with the official representatives of the French republic in unveiling the statue of Marshal de Rochambeau, the compatriot of Wash ington and commander-in-chief of the French forces in America during the revolutionary war. It was an event combining many demonstrations of in ternational good will with France, sail ors from the battleship Gaulois ming ling their cheers with American blue jackets, French flags entwining their colors with the stars and stripes and with oratory and music expressive of Franco-American friendship. The ceremony of unveiling was fixed for 11 o'clock this morning but long be fore that hour the streets were filed with marching men and with a great crowd eager to witness the exercises ami review. A battalion of French seamen arrived by special train from Annapolis early in the day and headed by the crack band from the French battleship swung through Pennsylvania avenue to Lafayette square where the shrouded figure of the French field marshal awaited the signal for unveiling. The American soldiers, sailors and marine3 already had assembled and gave their French brothers-in-arms a hearty wel come. The American troops were under com mand of Major General S. M. B. Youns and embraced a battalion of engineers, a battalion of sailors and marines with the Marine band, a battalion of cavalry and of field artillery, and a brigade of national guardsmen of the District of Columbia, representing all the various branches of the United States military and naval service. President Roosevelt and the members of the cabinet arrived at the reviewing stand shortly before 11 o'clock and tootc position facing the draped figure. Along side the presidantial party Sat the French ambassador, M. C'ambon. Gen. Brugere, Vice Admiral Fournier and other distinguished representatives of the French government and also the Count and Countess de Rochambeau and Count de Lafayette, descendants of the gallant soldiers who fought witn Washington. Cardinal Gibbons was to have opened the exercises with an invocation, but in his unavoidable absence the Rev. Ir. Stafford delivered an impressive open ing prayer. At its conclusion President Roosevelt stepped to the front of the platform and extended a generous wel come to the French guests. ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. The president spoke as follows: "Mr. Ambassador, and You, the Rep resentatives of the Mighty Republic of France I extenc". to you on behalf of the people of the United States the warmest and most cordial greeting. We appreciate to the full all that is im plied in this embassy, composed of such men as those who have been sent over here by President Loubet to commemorate the unveiling of the stE.tue of the great marshal who, with the soldiers and sailors of France, struck the decisive blow in the war which started this country on the path of independence among the nations of the earth. (Applause.) I am sure that I give utterance to the sentiments of the United States, of every American to whom the honor and glory of our republic in the past, as in the present, are dear, when I say that we prize this French people not only because it is necessarily pleasing to us to have the friendship of a nation so mighty in war and so mighty in peace, as France has ever shown herself to be, but because it is peculiarly pleasant to feel that after a century and a quarter of in dependent existence as a nation th! French republic should feel that in that century and a quarter we have justi fied the sacrifices France made in our behalf. (Applause.) "1 am sure, my fellow citizens, that you welcome the chance which brings it about, that this embassy of the French people should come to our shores at the very time when we. in our turn, have done our part in starting on tne path of independence a sister republic the republic of Cuba. (Applause.) "Mr. Ambassador, the American peo ple, peculiarly because they are the American people, and because the his tory of the United States has been so interwoven with what France has done for us; also because they are proud of the whole world which acknowledges and must ever acknowledge in a pe culiar degree the headship of France along so many lines in the march of progress and civilization the American people, through me. extend their thanks to you and in their name I beg to express my acknowledgments to the embassy that has come here and to President Loubet and all of the French nation, both for the deed and for the magnanimous spirit behind the doing of the deed, and I thank you." (Loud Applause.) VEIL DRAWN ASIDE. As the president closed his remarks, the Countess de Rochambeau drew asido the veil enveloping the figure, bringing into view the massive bronze propor tions of the famous French commander, standing proudly erect with arm out stretched, directing the fortunes of war on the field of Yorktown. A great cheer went up from Frenchmen and Ameri cans, alike, and at the same instant the Marine band broke into the inspiring strains of the Marseillaise. As the French national hymn died away Am bassador Cambon escorted to the front of the platform the youthful sculptor. M. Hamar, who executed the statue. Then the ambassador, speaking in French, delivered a brief address. He said: CAMBON'S ADDRESS. "You have shown by this act that something new had taken place be tween the nations, that they might be united by a bond of disinterested sym pathy and of mutual good will, and that their ideal3 of justice and of lib- LOOKSLIKEFUSIOL Populists Regard Action Democrats With Favor. of Even W J. Bahb Thinks Popu lists Will Accept Conditions. SOME ODD REVERSALS. Hugh Farrelly, Anti Fusion Leader, Heads Committee. Wr. II. L. Pepperell Also De posed as Secretary. It is generally believed that the Dem ocrats and Populists will get together on a common ticket when the Populist state convention meets in Topeka on June 24. The plan as adopted by the Democratic convention is for the Pop ulists to fill in the eight places left blank on the Democratic ticket and to endorse the nominations made by the MAYOR W. H. CRADDOCK, OF KANSAS CITY. ''ill -i "II Democratic Nominee for Governor. Democrats. The Democratic state central committee sitting as an adjourned ses sion of the state convention will endorse the Populist nominations, and an effort will be made to break down the anti fusion law in the supreme court, and have both tickets placed on the official ballot as heretofore. W. J. Babb, the leader of the extreme middle-of-the-road Populists, said after the Democratic convention was over: "Considerable progress has been made by the Democrats, and I think it ex tremely probable that the Populists will agree to the Democratic nominations. It looks to me now as though the two parties will get together." Taylor Riddle, the Populist who pro posed that the Populists should capture the Democratic party bodily, made this statement: "I would not want to say positively that the Populist convention will en dorse the Democratic action, because when anybody makes a positive state ment like that a -Populist convention is likely to turn around and do exactly the opposite. Eut if nothing happens to make the Populists mad I believe they will get together with the Democrats." In case the supreme court upholds the anti-fusion law, each party will be left with a part of the ticket. The 'Demo crats tried to arrange for this con tingency by alternating the ticket as much as possible. At the top of the ticket the Democrats will have the asso ciate justice for the six-year term, then the Populists will have the four-year term, the Democrats will have a six year term, then the Populists will have two six-year terms. From governor down, the ticket will alternate this way: Democratic governor. Populist lieuten ant governor. Democratic secretary of state. Populist state treasurer, Demo cratic auditor, who is really a Populist, Populist attorney general, Democratic superintendent of public instruction. Populist superintendent of insurance. Populist congressman-at-large. The Democratic party seems to be a party of paradoxes. It reversed itself several times in the Wichita convention. It howled down the proposition to ad journ the convention to meet in Topeka, and ended by doing that very thing. It applauded David Overmyer when he rose to speak, and it was apparent that he was the idol of the convention, but in five minutes the idol was overturned and it yelled down his proposition for a recess. Now it has made a fusion pro position to the Fopulists, and at the same time it placed the party machine ry in the hands of the Orr-Fike, Mur phy crowd, which has always fought fusion. Did anyone ever hear of the like! The election of Hugh Farrelly as state chairman and of General Charles Mc Crum as state secretary was a distinct victory for the anti-fusion crowd. E. E. Murphy declared alter the convention that his only interest in the convention was to turn down Mack Love as chair man and elect Farrelly, Farrelly receiv ed a clear majority in the state central committee. He received 23 votes, while Love and George Pitts, of Wellington, the other candidates, received only nine each. For secretary of the state com mittee, McCrum received 26 votes, and W. H. L. Pepperell, who has been secre tary for many years and wanted a re election, received only 15 votes. Frank Thomas, of Topeka, was unanimously re-elected treasurer of the state com mittee. Murphy openly declares that the next move of his crowd will be to turn down J. G. Johnson for national committee man, and to elect John Atwood, of Leavenworth, in his place. One of the most remarkable things about the Wichita convention was the fight against resubmission as an Issue. It is generally supposed that the Demo cratic party is unanimous for joints, but it would be hard for a speaker in the State Temperance union to make a more vigorous attack on the saloon than was made by W. H. Carpenter, of Marion, who declared that he would rather have three good honest farmers converted to the Democratic party from principle than to get the support oi! ev ery jointist in Kansas. The poor joint ist did not seem to have many friends on the floor of the convention. Nearly every speaker denounced them and claimed they always voted for the Re publicans anyway, because the Repub licans, while promising the prohibition ists to support the law, gave the joint ists a tiD that it wouldn't be done. Notwithstanding this the busiest place in Wichita the past week was around the Carey hotel bar, made fam ous by the first attack of Mrs. Nation. Thirsty individuals from "dry" Kansas towns to whom it was a great luxury to lean up against a bar, struggled for a place in front of the big plate glass mirror, and there quaffed the foaming beer without having to keep watch over their shoulder to see if an officer were coming, or they gulped down a stronger liquid, Missouri fashion, with ice water accompaniment, while Cleopatra, fresh from her bath and innocent of any clothes, but with the rent caused by Mrs. Nation's hatchet neatly repaired, smiled sweetly down upon them. And the Republicans will probably emulate the De.nocrats the coming week. The nomination of Mayor Craddock for governor was only made possible AW y when David Overmyer declined the honor though he was an active candi date for the place. He has not been known in state politics until a year tigo when he was elected mayor of Kansas City on a taxation of franchise issue. William Henry Craddock is now ac counted one of the best politicians in the state and he has been in politics less than two years. Craddock was nominated for mayor of Kansas City, Kan., in much the same manner as he was nominated for governor by the Democratic state convention. He had never figured conspicuously in politics. Craddock has a fine personality and is a great mixer and makes friends. He entered the mayoralty campaign a year ago knowing not a great many people. On the eve of election he knew nearly every voter in the town. He is credited with never forgetting a face or a name. He has the same congenial s.mile for everyone. He takes care of his friends, whether they be Democrats or Republi cans, and in the management of city patronage in Kansas City, Kan., he has practiced a rigid policy of standing by those appointees who have done meri torious work. Mayor Craddock is in the real estate business in the New York Life building, on the Missouri side. He has lived in Kansas for the last twenty-eight years, with the exception of a few months spent In Kansas City. Mo. He first lo cated in Wichita and was proprietor of a drug store. When he left there he went to Kansas City, Mo., and later moved to Kansas City. Kan. He has a fine residence on Lafayette avenue, near Walnut street, and his family consists of a wife and three children. The mayor is 51 years old. When the announcement was made in Kansas City, Kas., yesterday that Crad dock had been nominated for governor, more than one person remarked: "If there is a Democrat in Kansas who can be elected governor it is Craddock." Craddock is a native of Kentucky, but he is a typical Kansan. He is not an orator, but he makes the sort of a talk that the common, every-day folks like, as his friends say. When Craddock talks he points his finger at his audience and talks from the shoulder. Craddock has been mayor of Kansas City, Kas., for a year, and it is said of him that he is the only mayor the tow n has ever had who has more friends after a year's service than he had before his election. This fact is attributed to the man's tact. As an example, an ordi nance renewing all Metropolitan fran chises, was introduced in the council about three months ago. The public was much concerned over this ordi nance. They didn't think it demanded enough of the railway company. In stead of having his administration take the bull by the horns and attempt to revise the ordinance to the liking of the public, Craddock named a committee composed of fifteen of the substantial citizens of the town, and entrusted the revising of the ordinance to this com mittee. This piece of work was considered good politics, because the mayor practically gave the street railway ordinance to the people for them to do with it as thev saw fit. No matter what kind of an or dinance is framed for the Metropolitan, so the wise ones say, it cannot be said that the mavor did not do the right thing. He picked a special comnnttre of 15 men. If there is any kicking to do it will have to be directed toward the citizens' committee, not the mayor. Mayor Craddock is a thirty-second de gree Mason and his connection with this order gained for him a wide acquaint ance in every part of the state. At the last session of the grand lodge of the Scottish Rite of America, Mayor Crad dock was recommended for the thirty third degree in Masonry. THE Y OFF. Big Brooklyn Handicap Event This Afternoon. Advance tiuard, Blues and Her bert the Favorites. RETTING IS HEAVY. Oom Paul is Regarded as a Prominent Factor. The Attendance is Larger Than Ever Before. New York, May 24. Conditions were favorable today for one of the greatest Brooklyn handicaps ever run. The list of probable starters was large and of extra high class, and, according to the card, if all 18 go, it will be the second largest field in the history of the race. A conservative estimate of the crowd la attend the race placed it at 35.000. The sport of racing has grown so in the es timation of the public that the attend ance this year has been enormously in creased, even on the most ordinary cases, while the programmes have been dull and unattractive. Those who have tried to pick the win ner, were divided in their opinions as ta the merits of the horses entered. Ap parently first in favor were Blues, Ad vance Guard, Rosehampton, Herbert and 3-year-olds Oom Paul, Fly Wheel and Pentecost. But little is known of the western horse, Monograph, but his races at Delmar Park last fall were good. The Regent, Sadie S., Ethics, Reina, Kamara and Carbuncle, were lightly weighted and therefore had the support of those who believe that weight tells against the horse that has to carry, it. The morning weather was bright ami warm but there is a good breeze blow ing. From 10 o'clock on, all lines of transportation were crowded with per sons bound for Gravesend. The weather forecaster predicteijain for the day and this encouraged Her bert's supporters, who said no rain could be too liard for their favorite. who had been called the "mud domino." On the other hand, the supporters of Tillies and Advance Guard hoped there would be no rain. It was thought likely that at least sixteen horses would go to the post. During the winter Blues was favorite and was favored by many horsemen until a few days ago. Then Advance Guard, by his great work during his last few races, went into the lead and was quoted at four to one in the bet ting. This horse, on Thursday, at Mor is Park, raced agvinst Heno ajid Dixie. Line and covered the distance, over a mile and an eighth, in 1:55 1-5. Many thought Advance Guard a, slow beginner, and that it was foolish to -start him against such horses as Heno. and Dixie 'Line and give both of them 20 pounds. Yet, with his big impost of 129 pounds, he made all his running, from start to finish, stood off a great burst of speed by Heno and won in a drive by a neck. He will have "Tommy" Burns up. Blues was beaten in his first race this year but he made the winner. Dr Riddle, travel at a great rate and break a track record for a mile and a sixteenth over the hill. He has speed and gameness and there is no question that the horse is able to go the dis tance. Blues, in his final preparation, is said to have gone over the handicap distance in 2:05. Roehampton. who has not done so well this season, is reported to have done the mile and a quarter in 2:071i in good shape. Herbert was expected to hold up well, and should the track be heavy, he should prove dangerous. He was in the best condition and has done everything that his trainer has asked of him. His try-out was a mile and a quarter in 2:07 Oom Paul, the 3-year-old, was anoth er prominent factor. He was in grand condition. Water Cure is a doubtful starter. Hil trainer has announced, should the track be heavy, he will send the horse to th-3 post. Alcedo, winner of last year's Subur ban, is down as a starter and will carry 125 pounds with Shaw in the saddle. Ten Candles wiil probably not faca the barrier.

NO RACING AT EAELEM. The Track Not to Be Used This Year on Account of the License. Chicago. 111., May 24. Unless John Condon, owner of the Harlem race track, and H. J. Mohr, president of the town board of Harlem, agree upon the amount to be paid for amusement license for conducting the races at that track, the entire fifty-one racing days' season will be transferred to Worth. At present there Is no sign of an agreement, and Harlem is supposed to be open for its spring meeting two weeks from next Monday, following the iirst two weeks of racing at Haw thorne. The gap between Condon and Mohr is a wide one. in former years the amount paid to the village for an amusement license was $2,500. When Mohr was conducting his campaign in the spring he signified his intention of favoring racing. He was elected and is still in favor of racing at Harlem, but the amount of the license has been raised to if 10. 000. which Condon refuses to pay, positively declaring he will not raise the fee one cent above $2,500. Un less the town board desires to accept that amount there will be no racing at Harlem this year, he says. Two weeks ago Condon sent a check to President Mohr for $2,500 and asked for an amusement license. He received no answer and finally sent a man to see Mohr, asking that unless the license be granted at once the check be return ed President Mohr stood firm for $10, 000 or no racing, and sent the check back. Condon has accepted his defl. WILL NEVER RACE AGAIN. Waring, the Great Handicap Horse, Dying of Ruptured Stomach Chicago, May 24.

He said he owned a stock farm and wanted Waring for the stud. When asked what price he would have set on Waring had he not been sick with little hope of recovery, Hildreth sai i nothing less than $12,000 would have bought him. Waring has won over $30,000 for Hildreth. HENO TO START IN DERBY. Mackay "Will Ship the Colt to Chicago About June 10. New York, May 24.

Effort is Made to Keep Proceed ings Secret. NO CONTEST IS MADE. Evidence Showing Non-Support is Introduced. Says That She AVill Marry Again, Never Wichita, Kas., May 24. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, the famous reformer, was granted an absolute divorce Friday by Judge Dale of the district court. It took just seventeen minutes for the judge to hear the evidence and grant the decree. Early in the morning Mrs. Lease and her attorney, I. P. Campbell, went -o Judge Dale and asked for a private hearing, especially that reporters be ex cluded, but this was refused and the case set for 1:15 in the afternoon. The matter had been kept quiet and only the regular jury and people inter ested in an opera case and every clerk in the court house were present. There were but two witnesses, Mrs. Lease and J. W. Brown. Mary Elizabeth Lease said that she was married in 1873 at Osage Mission, and that her husband had not contrib uted $5 to her support during that time. She stated that she supported herself by sewing, soliciting advertising, keeping boarders and doing newspaper work. She was very precise in her state ment. J. W. Brown when called stated that he had furnished the family groceries for a number of years, but never re ceived his pay for them. "This is all of our testimony," said Mr. Campbell, and Judge Dale said, "Divorce granted." Mrs. Lease walked out of the room with a smile and stately tread. "All I have to say to the papers is that I will never marry again," she said as she entered her cab. FIGURE ON COLORADO ORE. Iola Smelters Are Now Branching Out Iola, Kas., May 24. Developments in the zinc mining ana smelting industries of the country have been very interest ing during the past four or five months, at the same time giving light upon va rious movements which have been more or less secret in the past. Probably the most important to the Joplin district zinc producers has become apparent within the past fortnight. That the gas belt zinc smelters have been experi menting with Colorado zinciferous ores has been commented upon frequently, but that there is, under present condi tions, opportunity to work these ores in competition with Joplin district ores showing handsome profits over and above present working profits, is not sj well known. It can be definitely stated now that several of the gas belt smelc ers propose handling these ores upon a much heavier tonnage than ever. From time to time this condition has been pointed out by the Lead and Zinc News. This week comes information that one Fmelter proposes to enter the Wisconsin field with its buyers, going into competition with the La Salle and Peru smelters for the product of that district. From Denver comes the decla ration that the Cherokee-Lanyon Spel ter company's president has been in that field for several days and that he is preparing to secure heavy shipments under contract. The New' Jersey Zinc company's gas belt smelters will als") be run on Colorado concentrates, shipped from the Canon City plant While no definite announcement of this company's plans has been made, it is known that it proposes to increase its spelter output vei-y materially. With its eastern plant alone this company was the strongest in the field, and now that it has entered the gas belt, other zinc smelters are watching its move ments closely. HIS PLANS AT AN END. C. W.

Work was to have been commenced on the structure this sum mer. Mr. Goodlander had also nearly com pleted drawing plans for a business block at the corner of Wall street and National avenue, where the lumber yard now stands. It was to have been a two story structure the full length of the half block facing Wall street. There were to have been four store rooms on the ground floor and the building was to be 60 feet deep. On the corner at the alley room was to be eauittped for a bank and the Citizens' National, of which he was president, was to occupy it. On the corner of the avenue the room was to be fitted no suitable for a drug store, while the. second' story was to be made suitable for office apart ments. The plans for these structures were drawn and on file at his office at the bank, but only his immediate business associates were allowed to see them. DEED HAS BEEN SIGNED.

The excitement about the French con sulate where several clerks and repre sentatives of a law firm were engaged for hours in drawing up the papers, leads to the belief that definite knowl edge has been secured as to the hiding place of the alleged swindlers. In its inception the plot to borrow money on the estate of a fictitious New York millionaire was one of the boldest on record. Its operation extended over a period of 20 years during which those participating lived in such a lavish manner that it is not believed they car ried away much of their gains.

The decision of the United States district court of Chi cago granting Samuel Eberly Gross, the author of "The Merchant Prince of Cornville." an injunction against further performances of "Cyrano," on the ground that M. Rostand's play contains plagiarized situations, has filled the playwrights of France with astonish ment, says a Paris dispatch to the Her ald. M. Rostand at present i3 far re moved from the boulevards, having sought retirement in his Fyfenean chateau. His friends still deride state ments alleging plagiarism on the part of the French dramatist.

Uelieved Issue Will Be Clearly Drawn on Chairmanship. Lyons liepublican Questions the like County Instructions. An absorbing question among the Re publicans now is who shall be chair man of the state convention. It is pro bable that there will be a big struggle over the organization when the conven tion meets next Wednesday morning in the auditorium at Wichita. The two candidates most talked of are Senator John Hessin, of Manhattan, for the Bailey people, and Senator John C. Carpenter, of Neosho county, for the anti-Bailey faction, but they have not been decided upon as the opposing can didates. If there is to be a test of strength made in the convention, it has been sug gested that Congressman Curtis and Congressman Long, two opposing candi dates for United States senator, be the candidates for chairman. This would make an exceedingly interesting con test, but it might not definitely show the sentiment of the convention on the gubernatorial question. For instance, there are delegations in the First con gressional district who are for Curtis for United States senator, but who at the same time are for Bailey for governor. Then there are a few dele gates in the Seventh district who are against Curtis for senator and who are also against Bailey for governor. Such a contest might not prove anything, but it would be intensely interesting. The Lyons Republican takes issue with the information furnished the State Journal regarding the Rice county Republican convention last week, in which it was stated that J. E. Junkin. who has been making a fight for Trout man, had everything his own way in the convention. Clark Conkling, editor of the Republican is a Miller man. As evi dence of the fact that Junkin did not have everything his own way he points to the fact that Junkin. who favored Troutman, had only 68 votes for dele gate to the state convention, while he himself, a Miller man, received 101 votes. Commenting on Junkin's resolu tion declaring the sentiment of Rice county to be in favor of Troutman, Mr. Conkling says: "The only spark of unkind feeling that appeared in the convention was when J. E. Junkin introduced his resolution declaring Troutman to be the choice of the convention for governor. This was just after the taking up of the ballots for surveyor, when 117 votes only were cast and many were leaving the hall. This action is on a par with more of Junkin's actions. The convention had just elected a delegation of representa tive Republicans to atttad the state convention, in whom probably they had confidence at least the vote would so indicate. Mr. Junkin has made at least a three months' canvass for Troutman's support and barely skimped in on the delegation with three votes to spare, re ceiving eight votes less than enough to elect him if the rules had required a majority rather than a plurality to se lect. AVe submit, it came with mighty poor grace from the. second lowest man to attempt to bind others who received from two-thirds to three-quarters of the votes of that convention." FIRE IN A HOSPITAL Four Attendants Were come by Smoke. Over- Cincinnati, O., May 24. Fire in the city hospital early today caused great alarm, but fortunately the controlling forces prevented loss of life. Four at tendants were overcome by smoke and injured. The fire started in the drying room, and on the floor above 25 girls were sleeping. They were quickly aroused and ail gotten out safely. The superintendent and nurses of the house used every effort to prevent patients and others from reckless (light, and with the assistance of police and firemen a panic was prevented. Before the fire was un der control the smoke had filled the en tire hospital. The four attendants over come by smoke are in a serious condi tion, but will recover. Loss small. TELLING THE TRUTH. London Times' Second Volume of War History. London, May 24. The second volume of the London Times' "History of the War," which has just apeared, is at tracting unusual attention because of its scathing denunciation of British generals arid the war office. The criti cism is given additional weight by the fact of its appearing under the auspices of "the thunderer." No enemy of Oreat Britain could more frankly denounce British blunders. Starting with General White's last fight before he withdrew to Ladysmith, the author says it was in reality a serious defeat of infantry bad ly handled by the ofiicer in command, who "proved quite unlit to grapple with the difficult situation in which, largely by the mistakes of others, he was placed." The cavalry was as bad as the infantry, and the situation was only saved by the heroism of the artillery. The surrender of troops at Nicholson's Nek is described as premature, though "no more humiliating than many sur renders which occurred after it." Passing to Stormberg, the writer de scribes the succession of blunders which led to the reverse as "sheer misman agement on the part of General Gatacre, or his stall." Touching the crowning misfortune at Coienso, the author says: "Just as in the hour of battle General Buller had failed the men whom he led, so now, in the hour of trial, he was to fail his coun try, which had entrusted the fortune of war to his hands. He utterly lost heart. Not only did he despair of doing anything himself, but he despaired for others." A Good Thing in Opium. Pekin, May 24. A German firm has offered the Chinese government $15,000, 000 annually for the exclusive rights of selling opium throughout the empire. The officials are disposed to regard the offer favorably, as it is an easy method of raising revenue. The promoters have sounded several of the ministers con cerning the attitude of the powers. Outsiders consider the project imprac ticable, as the monopoly is impossible of enforcement, if granted. SNAP SHOTS AT HOME NEWS J. S. Dean is at his home at Marion.

This method is a saving of two months' time. Capital Council No. 1 of the Knights and Ladies of Security will give an ex cursion to Kansas City next Wednes day, on the Santa Fe railroad.

He says, "A little more than a year ago I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food. At that time I had beer, suffering from dyspepsia for about five years. I had tried all the remedies my friends told me about but with no per manent relief. My Sabbath duties at that time nearly prostrated me and the following day I was of no use to myself or to anyone else. After beginning the food a change be gan to take place and gradually the dyspepsia and disturbance left me. Now I have gained twenty pounds and am free from stomach troubles that I suf fered so long from. I can do twice the amount of work with ease, am well all of the time, and naturally sing the praises of the delic ious food that has put me risht. I am perfectly willing to have my name ap pear as endorsing your excellent food for I know from personal experieno? of its value." L. R. Danforth, Pastor of the First M. E. Church, Haverhill, Mass. PLAYED A GOOD GAOL But Washburn Lost to Highland Park Just the Same. The baseball team from Highland Park college at Des Moines took a gabe from Washburn Friday afternoon by the score of four to two. That was the before supper game and ended at 6 o'clock. After dinner, on full stomachs, the same team defeated the St. Mary's college team in a seven inning game by the score of 4 to 3 and then caught the train for Topeka. The Iowaians could have added another victory to their string if necessary, probably, before the sun went down. The Wrashburn team started out with an imitation of the real 18 caret fine article of ball. The Wrashburn team re membered the drubbing given them on the same grounds by the same team last year. The score was 13 to 1. Mehl, for Washburn, made the one. "Cyclone" Thompson pitched the game and it was his fault that the sons of Ichabod did not make any more runs. Thompson pitched again Friday but he was only a shade of his former greatness. He was a gentle Kansas zephyr. There was no cyclone to mm. The reason is that Thompson has had the smallpox, sprain ed his right knee and had two inches of bone removed from his left leg and ha3 pitched but three games this season. A year ago Thompson was the wonder of the season. He arrived on the Wash burn grounds Friday clad in a pearl gray dressing sack trimmed in red. The same sack he wore last season. It cost $12. The H. P. C. players have had hard luck. They have played but three games on account of rain. At two of the three games the gate receipts were not worth as much as Thompson's "Wizard of the Nile" box coat. In the first inning yesterday the Washburn players seemed to forget that they are expected to play ragged ball and they put up a great game. Cook, for Washburn pitched an excellent game and his work in the box kept the visitor's score down to a minimum, al though he handed out bases on balls with an abandon that was shocking. Iu the first inning the first three men to the bat for the visitors, McAllister. Thompson and Ellis took first on two bases on balls and a long fly by Thompson. The bases were full and no outs. It looked as if the Washburn bal loon would go up in the first inning, but 'it didn't. Smith knocked a fly and Kilby in right field gathered it in and fielded it in fast enough to keep the runners on their bases. Then Cook went to work with a special desire and he struck out Aaseth. Davidson sent one to Backenstoce who fielded it well and threw him out at first. Washburn had pulled out of a tight box and re ceived "a hand" that would have pleas ed Richard Mansfield. In the game a year ago the only man who crossed the plate for Washburn and scored against Highland Park was Mehl. He was the only one for the Topeka team who accomplished the feat this year. He crossed it twice. In the first inning Mehl drove a safe one to left field and got second on a sacrifice hit by Moss and stcia thf 3 on a pass ball. Dodge drove a safe" hit to right field and Mehl second. In the fifth Cook flew out to Peters. Moss hit to Mc Allister who slipped on the muddy ground and Moss got first. Mehl tried to steal third and on a wild throw by Catcher Smith he scored. Up to this time Highland Park had not scored. The man who bet on .ashburn was jubilant. "I thought this Highland Park team was from the suburb east of town," he explained, "but I may win yet." It had been prophesied at the begin ing of every inning that the Washburn balloon would go up. It did in the sixth. Davidson struck out. Heilegen stein hit to Moss at third who let it pass. Then St. Germain sent one past third that Moss made no effort to stop. McAllister got his base on balls and Heilegenstein was forced over the plate. Everybody was trying Moss so Thomp son sent one between his legs just for fun and another man scored. Ellis forced St. Germain out at home by a short hit but Smith sent a hot one skimming through the center of the dia mond to a small lad who could be seen just above the heads of the tall grasses in center field. Allen his name was an nounced. He stopped the ball after two more men had stored. Highland Park 4 Washburn 2. No more scoring in the game. Washburn put up an excellent article of ball for eight out of the nine innings. It was in one fatal inning that the Washburn team went up in the air. Cook pitched a magnificent game and with support would have won easily. Moss lost the game for Washburn. He was credited with more costly errors at third than all the rest of the team put together. The Highland Park players discovered that he could not stop a tumble weed and they pounded the ball toward hi.Ti at every opportunity. Moss did not fool them a bit but allowed the fence to stop it. In the fatal sixth in ning Moss was credited with three errors which cost the Topeka team two if not three runs against them. The official scorer did not try to keep track of the errors. Thompson made no attempt to do any great pitching. He held the Washburn players dow n to paltry hits and he al lowed his fielders to handle them. Cook knew better than to leave anything for hi smen. Kilby. out in right, chewed gum like a real lady, kept his white shoes clean and made outs three out of four times to the bat. Dodge played a steady game at first. The official sum mary, with the errors not recorded, is as follows: R.H.E Washburn 1 0001000 0 2 3 5 Highland Park..O 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 4 6 8 Summary Struck out By Cook, 14: hy Thompson. 4.

Waters' Eloquent Address at Colby. Paints Ticture of Future For Iliirh School Students. LIKE A 3I0VLXG TIlAPv. So Easy to Sidetrack and De stroy Youth. Cultivate "Backbone Like Telegraph Pole." Captain J. G. Waters delivered the ad dress to the graduating class of the Colby high school yesterday. Captain "Waters imparted good advice in any thing but a conventional vein. His ad dress in Dart was as follows: "The few words of niii.e spoken here, will come to the younger portion of those who hear them, with more apt ness and force 50 years hence, than they do now. "Youth is a real dream that requires all of a life tmie to disrel: it is a 10 inance more veracious than history and an unloMins tale that the riveted atten tion' scorns to disbelieve. It is a period that the world loves even in its ugliest moods. The great ocean has not yet been reached. In a land locked harbor the vessel chafes its chain; around is the clear watr, sparkling- under the se rene sky; and when the nfciil comes ail its stars are airflow; it hears the music float seaward ,and the early summer air laden with the sweet briar, touches it with hop', happiness and love. To the scholai s here present, you have to this hour been surrounded with the barri cade of friends and home; you have never felt the rude, unteelirifr jostle of the world's S'itishness, ambition and Screed; back of you are the sweet inriu ences of home; and back of these, is the great foster parent which we designate as tire law, that cherishes you as the apple of its eye. and hopes to have you completely equipped and armed wiren you shall at last go out into the world to fiaht your battles with it. "The schools are the great recruiting stations for tiie battalions of right and civilization; they are the great reser voirs of a nation's strength in a time of need. In the tfeu.OUU schools of the Uni ted States, sit somewhere, upon the pat ented school furniture, regardless of gender, its presidents, statesmen, sages, millionaires and philanthropists. No one can point them out with the finger, unless it is the mothers. The rest of us must wait until the scroll unwinds, it may be that some one of these promis ing vessels, with all sails hoist, may voyage with the prayers of a mother filling the canvas like a constant trade wind, and tiie strong impulse of a fath er's affe' tion propelling" them forward like a gulf stream current; and yet, when tiie record is written, it may find this particular voyager at last, a barker tit a sideshow; one of the three clowns in a. sawdust ring;the attendant and groom of the clay bank horses in a merry-go-round; or, what might be worse, a light ning rod pedlar in a drouthv territory. "Youth is just like a moving train; it is so easy to throw the switch and de rail it; or to turn it into a side track and destroy itself and the box cars standing on the siding. The unlucky choice of a single companion may be tire tin-owing of a switch. The first glass of liquor may be the fountain head of a lifetime tragedy. The world may good bumoredly forgive the buy who comes home sonic hot summer afternoon with his shirt turned w rongsideout. and who asser ts to an easily sutistied mother that lie must have gut it turned in skinning the cat on a gymnasium pole. It may even excuse the turbulent spirit that disarranges things on Halloween, but it dispairs of one who is cruel to a dog;, un broth-. -riy to a sister or untilial to a parent. 1 must confess J like a bad boy ami am phased to have a boy just as bad as he can be. with the limita tion however, that he at. all times com mands the respect of his own honor, that he never feels the coward or syco phant in his own bosom, and never meets the gaze of any one with an averted eye. "it is nut for me to suggest to vou anything cuncercing your schools. 1 co'uld iiol if 1 wauled tu iio so. A man wliose V. hole course in the common sehool.-r trie manual training school, a four years' at Yale and a post graduate course at llcfule bnrg. consists of a winter's term or two of signing geography, is not in such a pedai'iiie frame ,f mind as to give point ers or- adviee on the s;l!.j' ct of scuoolg. lo this day when J want to remember the capital of Wisconsin i have to sing ir,v way all through nasal New England- anil cross the Cumberland into tl.e middle states to get it. The less cumbersome methods by which ymi nrav now reach tile same results show the schools have kept pace wiih the sewing machine, the troll er. electricity, politics and the Tr. go Shale I- ields. "It is after the graduation with which I de.sire to deal. Alter tiie diplomas have been given, the congratulations said, after the flowers have faded, the lights turned off mat the door eloss behind vou and you are out into the great world. It is with these that I have to do. "Then, my young friends, you will have to stir your stumps; vou must keep up with the procession or g,t bumped. You will then lie no longer a fragile vme that can twist its'-lf around tire ancestral oak. The first thing it should be vour ambi tion to acquire is a backbone; a' cartilagin ous substitute will no longer answer; vou wi.l have need of it. The oulv armor young manhood wants is spine; the best gun in a young person's cruiser is a strong spinal column; it is never in the road and is so pasv to carry. It is al ways on hand when it is wanted. The man who goes through life without one, i.s always complaining and regret!. ng that he is not an old women. Quartered on the charities of some Ingleside. and he could no mure lift himself to a perpendicular than a snake could unend itself in the oirt road to see the sunrise. The want of a backbone lias been the destruction of more people than ever attended our schools. The farmer who cannot resist the temptation or a bucket shoo and buvg w heat options instead of raising the crop is hi silver want of that article; the po.itieian who promises too many per sons; tne official who forgets his oath to reconcile voters; tiie law ver who prac tices on both sides of the bar: the leais l.itor who takes a bribe, are but varying features in rhe world s storv of disa'st-r and ruin, where, if there had been an articulated Joint or two of back bone in the family it would nut nave happened. The nearer yon g. t to having a ba-;k bone like a teleeraoh nolo the safer vou -w-u! be. sometimes it is the onlv weapon with which you can stand off an enomv. It is courage in a'd its forms. It will be a Phillips before a Boston mob. a Dewey at Maniia. a lone martvr for the r;ght cause, or it may divide the tear and bear the burden of some soul heinless and distressed. Yon cannot buv "it in tne market; it must be sprouted' and raised by yourself; and you will find there are more June bugs, cut worms and culapii Jars to straddle it and eat it un and kll U out thau there were of grasshoppers in 174 eating our front room carpets aitd taking the silver plating off our cutlery. The boy who doffs his hat to the girl of his acquaintance instead of sassing- her back, who is not afraid to lie a gentleman, has planted back bone. The young man who feels his hunger and sees his poor clothes and then stays his hand in the use of another's money wili prove up on a timber claim better tham ten acres of W.Vnut or Cntalpa. The official, high or low. who shies around his official oath as if it were kicking a mule or hornets' nest has no more back bone than a stem of -T.aearurii would make. When such a man leaves office he is dead. rJ he one who stands for honor, as Grant did, lias honor, and, best of all, his own le spect and esteem when tiie lights are out at night and he lies in the dark by him self. Such a man can hum himself to sleep by the consciousness of duty per formed. The politicians in this state would find it a sure cure for corns if they dared to try it. "It is not wealth that piles its palaces of stone. For fortunes vanish as they have so often flown Nor browsing herds nor green alfalfa lands to own, For hot south winds may blow as thej have blown. There's just one lasting thing that can be grown. It is the rigid vertebra they call back bone. "When you get into business you will be surprised to find out that business makes enemies and ends friendships; that it takes an enemy and warms him over like we do hash, into a triend; and this rather unsettles the tilings you once valu ed as companionship. One of your school mates will be in competitive business with you. Then between you two, tiie scalp is to Lie lilted; you will each recognize the uiiginai barbarian, savage and cannibal in tile other. There will be spirit and de sire in both of you to outfoot the other. You hear he is selling tomatoes 'liree cans for a quarter Fe'aget your tabie of measures learned in school and hunt u some w holesaler who puts up a cheaper brand with only 13 ounces to the pound and sell three cans for 20 cents, or buy new labels for oid goods and let him have it square in tiie face. Get a class of jams that is half glucose and knock his prime sugar preserved fruits out of the village. Tiie n water your whisky, sand your sugar and go into family devotions with a lot of sanded prayer. It will never do; the man who gains a dishonest dollar by siiarp practice, downright roguery or crime, will find the simple fact, that once having had such a uollar in his possession, it will cost him two dollars earned at grubbing or like pastime, with accrued interest. As an old man who has been nigh o years in the practice of the law, I believe from the statistics of my own practice I could formulate a rule that can be no more gainsaid than a mathe matical theorem: Deceit will always lie an expense, a smart trick will always be on the wrong side of the ledger, and dishonesty will unfailingly bring disaster and John Bright's diseast of the kidneys. "Now, bend your ears to the front, boys, and I want to whisper another thing into them. A man who ever expects at some distant eon to stand in judgment before his God has no business to med dle with Kansas politics. You may have been tiie brightest boy in the village, the universal finger of merit may focus on you, but please avoid it. It is an Ananias business and if women ever undertake it, there will be also a Sap phira attachment. No slave wears such shackles as the Kansas politician does. Pie promises everything; he is the most zealous of patriots; no one gets sucli pay lor ante-mortem obituaries; he loans money to the impecunious he wastes- the midnight, oil in writing letters enclosing garden seeds; he caravans eaen mail route with government publications, and then, in care fefeted hour, makes the wrong ap pointment of postmaster, leaving the edi tor of the county seat weekly out of his job, and he finds such is the power of the public press, when pressed by an Irate editor, that ms cake is dougli, his name is Kphriam, and his congressional frank is in the clutch of a hated Phili stine. "The world bears lots of things that are mean, despicable or bad like a great burly animal bears its parasites. It is too lubberly to get at them; it does not like a hypocrite, coward, liar or avarice. It is easily waked to a story of humanity, ami its w hole frame trembles at any crime or disaster to mankind. The cruiser on ils mission to Martinique lies nearer the heart than the story of it? victorious guns, in vour journey along its devious and tortuous ways the Serious business of commerce frequently halts to help the. helpless; the trains that gridiron the con tinent stop to pay homage to a memory. There is no song that trembles on tiie tongue dedicated to a sinister 'human passion; there is no smile for viciousness, and no chamber in tiie soul where wrong may home' itself. There is no crime that can throttle the law; there is no vice that long wears the robes of virtue, and there is no sordidness or iitteness but somewhere in the journey finds its own punishment. My appeal to the boy is to be sturdy and true; if your breeches need patches, patch them; if you are poor, ad mit, it; if you see an equipage go by that you cannot afford, do not envv it. If a competitor beats you in the hustle, treat him generrusly. I have not a word of ad vice to say to the girlhood here assembled. I have no homily to deliver to them. If they have a defect, it is beautv; if they have a frailty, it is goodness. 'Who can add to the glitter of refined gold, and who can paint the cheek of a lily or redden the crimson of a rose? To the daughters descend the heritable strains from the mothers, of all that is good, or sweet, or holy. There never will come a time as long as motherhood continues when our women will be less than half divine. "fifty years from now the grav will be in your hair; as you ponder on the past it will cone as a reminiscence, linger as a memory, and depart as a dream long over and well night lost. The com mon events occurring here will be ware housed too deep in your memory to be forgotten. You will remember backward; you will travel a stranger in the then present. Another earthquake and lift of volcano then destroying thousTnds will fiird no lodgment to displace the vivid recollection of the freckled-faced, sandy-haired girl you now adore, and whose name vou were caught writing in the dust of the public road but two days ago. Public honors may come to you then; but above the ban quet and the feast, over the music and applause, there will drift into vour recol lection, like April rain drops on the rived shingles over the wearied and sleepv boy, the memory of the Cottonwood where you cut her name along with vours and the spring that bubbled at its base; when the very tree has been dead a life time, the spring has dried, and the girl slum bers on and on to the Judgment dav. It is everything that old age finds us fitted with these things that sweeten the short hours of the delaying years. You will find then how hollow the mockery and tinsel of everything but correct, serene and conscientious lives. "To all the scholars here I lift my hand to point you on the right road- as an old traveler, who has rorne well nigh the whole journey, who has felt the snares, stumbled where he should have waiked. and who, at this late hour, attributes the dangers weathered to loves and pravers that have followed and encompassed him as clouds by day and pillars of fire bv night. To survive disaster, to be lost and refind one's way, to go wrong and be righted, is inconsequential: unless you put up light houses and buov the reefs to pre vent other ships from feeling the billow and finding the bottom." BANTAM CJI A M PI ON S II IP. New Tork, May 24. Harry Harris, the Chicago featherweig-ht, who defeated Pedlar Palmer before the National Sporting club in London a year ago, w ill sail tomorrow on the Campania.

FOR MISS GODDARD. June Brides Are Now Absorb ing the Attention. Items of a Social and Personal Nature. In Topeka, where even the very smartest set is contented with two or three society functions to the week, where an engagement for every day 13 likened unto the strenuous life social, and where, if the butterflies of fashion attend an afternoon and evening- party on the same day they think they are going the pace that kills, there is very little opportunity for the use of a new phrase which the social season just closed in New York has added to the vocabularies of those who seeking to be up-to-date in every respect want to be modish in speech as well as in dress and manner. The phrase, which like many others of its kind is of English origin, consists of two words, "Going on," and is used to express at one social gathering that a person is going on somewhere else later in the evening. Many "go on" from dinners to dances during the social season, and that phrase is used to express such an inten tion. In Topeka, however, the expres sion seems destined to a career of innoc uous desuetude, although one man claims to have had occasion to use it once in that busy post Lenten period when the marriage of two popular so ciety girls made things so gay for a fortnight and when a rush of engage ments made it necessary for him in one night to "go on" from a dinner to a dance, from the dance to a bachelor supper and from the bachelor supper to a prolonged session with Colonel K. E. Morse. Among the social events scheduled for next week are several entertainments for prospective brides, a wedding of im portance, a large reception and dance and several small affairs. Dame So ciety's bookings are somewhat as fol lows Monday The D. D. Whist club meets with Miss Kate Gunther. Miss Octavia Greenwood's afternoon card party for Miss Winnifred Preseott. Tuesday Miss Erol Buckmaster's af ternoon for Miss Preseott. The Duplicate Whist club meets with Mrs. A. K. Lingafelt. Wednesday The marriage at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Goddard. in Potwin, of Miss Edith Marian Goddard and Mr. Frank C. Beck. The marriage of Miss Jennie Green and Mr. Fred Brown, at Lowman Hill chapel. Miss Fanny Funk's afternoon for Miss Preseott. Thursday Reception and dance at the Elks' club. Miss Margaret Gilfillan, afternoon for Miss Preseott. Picnic at Vinewood for the German classes of the high school. Friday Miss Sarah Shull, dinner party for Miss Preseott. Miss Nell Kirk, afternoon for Miss Preseott. High school sub-juniors' party at the home of Miss Grace Frost. At the meeting of the city federation of women's clubs at Unity church Fri day morning for the purpose of discuss ing the state meeting of the Kansas Social Science Federation at Salina, May 27, 2S and 29, it was determined that thirty-two members of the local federation will attend the convention next week. The Topeka federation is entitled to 46 votes in the convention, and it is hoped that the extra fourteen credentials will be used by club women who have not yet made up their minds to attend. Most of the delegates will go on the Union Pacific, leaving Topeka at 12:30 o'clock Monday, the 2Cth, and ar riving in Salina at 4:40 o'clock. A rate of one and one-third fare, on the cer tificate plan, has been made by all roads in the state. The fare from Topeka and return will be $4.72. Mrs. H .O. Garvey, president of the city federation, presided at the meeting Friday morning, and Dr. Mary Stewart acted as secretary in the absence of Mrs. A. H. Vance. Letters from the chairman of the entertainment commit tee at Salina and a personal letter from Mrs. Brown, president of the Fifth dis trict federation, to Mrs. W. A. Johnston, regarding the hotel accommodations and other details of interest to the delegates, were read. The convention headquarters will be at the First Methodist Episcopal church in Salina, and committees will meet the delegates at the train and as sist in finding them quarters. The Na tional hotel, which is the largest in Salina. will accommodate 50 and per haps 70 women. The rates are $2 a day. The Wiltman house will take care of 50 delegates at $1.50 a day. Rooms in pri vate houses will rent at 23 cents a day, and the restaurants have made a rate of 25 cents for meals. Delegates are requested .to report at the convention headquarters early Tuesday morning for the meeting of the credentials committee. All mail sent in care of the K. S. S. F. will be delivered at the church where the convention meetings are to be held. The matter of the Topeka exhibit in the art and educational display which is to be a feature of the Salina meeting, was discussed Friday morning, and the art committee was empowered to solicit the work of local artists for the exhibition. Pome of the paintings of Mr. George M. Stone, original pen and ink and water color sketches by Mr. Albert T. Reid and several of Miss Crosby's water colors will be among the works sent from Topeka. The Ceramic Art club will make an exhibit, and there will be tapestries, art embroidery and other ex amples of the work of local artistic talent. Mrs. Sam Hindman gave a 1 o'clock luncheon at her home, 623 Polk street, Friday afternoon. She was assisted by Mrs. E. L. Hindman and Mrs. W. C. ITindman and the other guests were: Mrs. D. M. Valentine, Mrs. F. A. Snow, Mrs. J. L. VanHouten, Mrs. A. A. God ard, Mrs. Young, Mrs. B. P. Bates. Mrs. Frank Thompson, Mrs. C. W. Jewell, Mrs. Lydia Snow, Mrs. Walter Bates, Mrs. Will Trapp, Miss Ward, Miss Thompson, Miss Bates and Miss Valen tine.

Wholesale and Burners' league, was several years at the Hull House settlement in Chicago and who is devoting her life to the cause of the industrial classes, will be in Topeka for the June meeting of the city federation. This announcement was made by Mrs. H. O. Garvey who met Mrs. Kelly at the biennial in Los Angeles and secured her promise to visit Topeka, at the business meeting of the city federation at Unity church Friday morning. Other matters occupied the federation almost to the exclusion of the biennial topic, but Mrs. Garvey touched upon it lightly before adjournment. She spoke of the prominence of Kansas and especially Topeka at the biennial, and said that only one city in the United States has a larger federation of wom en's clubs than Topeka. This is Atlanta, Georgia, which has 1.000 members in the city federation. Five minute reports from the local delegates to the national convention and reports of the state fed eration meeting at Salina will be fea tures of the June meeting of the Topeka federation. Mrs. Mary Vance Hum phrey, of Junction City, one of the new members of the board of directors of the general federation is expected here also for the June meeting. Topeka will not ask for the next meet ing of the state federation as several towns have gotten in their invitations already and as the First district had the meeting last year at Leavenworth. The Topeka delegation probably will ask the convention to consider this town as a meeting place in two years. Mrs. W. E. McVey's thimble party which was given at her home this af ternoon was in compliment to Miss Edith Marian Goddard whose marriage takes place next Wednesday, and in rec ognition of the romantic nature of the occasion red hearts were everywhere in evidence in the decorations which also included a generous use of roses and syringas. Aside from their needlework the guests employed themselves with a verse writing contest, the result of the visits of the Muse, as inscribed on paper hearts being presented to the guest of honor who was the subject ot tne verses. The prizes in this contest were a copy of Tennyson's Idylls of the King and a Happy Heart story book, which was the consolation prize. A color scheme of pink and white was carried out in all the dainty details and accessories of the serving of the coursed luncheon lat in the afternoon Mrs. McVey's in vitations were extended to Miss God dard, Mrs. Myrtle Foote Holmes. Mrs. Ramsburger. Mrs. W. B. Swan, Mrs. .V. D.
