ESTilfAL OFEi Gigantic Chorus Sings Haydn's Oratorio "Creation." George B. Fenny Win. Laurels for Choral Society. AUDIENCE CRITICAL. ade Up of People Who Were Discriminating. Thomas' Orchestra Added to the Pleasing Effect. THE CROWD WAS LARGE About ;$,000 People Attend Opening Concert. An Excellent Programme Ar ranged for Tonight. George Barlow Penny, conductor of the Topeka Choral Society, rapped with a brand new gold, ivory and ebony bat on on the music rack in front of him on the sta;re of the Auditorium last night, shook the shinins lton at the 00 members of the chorus and the 4n players of the Theodore Thomas or chestra, and the rendition of Haydn's oratorio "The Creation." which was to .Prof. George B. Penny, Director ooen the May Musical Festival, had begun. All had been excitement and confusion up to that time. Outside the rain was coming down in sprinkles and torrents but never the less, nearly three thous and peonio were on hand for the open ing concert of the festival. The audienos came for an evening of enjoyment and there was no delay in finding seat?. When the roncert opened the audience was not disturbed by late arrivals. It was not "a fashionable audience," to use the term as it is oft applied. It was a musical audience. Society was relegated and the leaders of the social efs were content with the poorer seat while the musical enthusiasts occupied the points of vantage. Neither was it a facsimile of the usual audience brought together for a brass band con cert. Those who usually have a word to Fay against the better grade of music and who encore sueh pieces only in hopes that something in a lighter vein will follow, were tew in numbers. Pro bably a majority of those in the audi ence had looked over Haydn's compo sition before the concert, it was a cric 1 al audience, unwilling to award un deserved praise but ready to applaud light heartily wherever such applause was merited. The audience was not ready to render a decision at once and it was not until the rendition of the oratorio was well advanced that the heartiest applause was awarded. Conductor Penny, the thorns, the or chestra and the soloists had one brief rehearsal Monday afternoon. The ora torio was skimmed through but when the regular concei t began no one would think hut that the singers and the mu sicians had been giving "The Creation" nightly for a month at least. The chorus was ananged on elevated tiers of seats at the hack of the stage. The orchestra was seated in front of the chorus and at the very edge of the stag" were the soloists and the director. The big stage was crow, ted with mu.-i-eians. Creatore. the obstreperous, would "not have found room enough to gi through his gyrations of directing a band. The femnle members of the chor us were dressed in white and occu pied the three front rows. Behind wer? two rows of male singers in convention al black. At the wall to the rear was a large flag an,-i plenty of electric lights. The effect was pleasing. From the s'art the members of the chorus had been smiling and happy as a class of school children who had been working for weeks for .the entertainment which was at last to be given. DIRECTOR PENNY COMPLI MENTED. When Director Penny walked to the front of the stage and turned to the chorus he Mw 20f singers sitting with folded hands. Each singer was grin ning at him as if each knew something that the director did not. Conductor Fenny was ready to give the signal for the beginning of the oratorio, but not a singer moved. Major T. J. Anderson, president of the Choral society, was making his way toward the conductor. He said something to Mr. Pennv. The conductor turned as if to reprimand a member of the chorus who would dare to delay the programme. Major Andeison said: "Prof. Fenny, It has been a matter of comment for eome time that things were not going V. f 7 'K V f y t exactly right in the Topeka Choral so ciety. We went to Kansas City last year with a splendid chorus as we sup posed and fans nil around everything there was in sight, but when the awards were mads. Topeka occupied the foot of the line. There was some criticism then on your leadership. At times during the preparation for the-present festival, this dissatisfaction has come to the surface again. Finally matters got into such shape that something had to be done and consultation was held by the mem bers of the society and a business meet ing called for that purpose and it was finally determined, with practical unani mity, that the fault was not with vou but in the little stick that you use in directing the chorus. You cannot direct a heavy chorus with a light baton, and I therefore, present you with a baton that will enable you to direct us in the future without the possibility of making a. mistake. I want to assure you that the gilt comes direct from the "heart of every member of the Topeka Choral so ciety, and we hope you will live many years to wield it in behalf of a higher standard of music. Please accept It with the good will of every member of the Topeka Choral society." On a gold band of the baton was en graved, 'George B. Penny. From the Topeka Choral Society, May 11, 1903." The first applause of the evening was when Professor Penny acknowledged the gift. SIN'GERS WELL TRAINED. From the tirst note sung it was evi dent that the chorus was well trained. The singers followed the conductor perfectly and sang in perfect harmony with the orchestra- Conductor Penny seemed as perfectly at home with the strange orchestra as if he had conduct ed it every night of its tour. Frederick Wessels, manager of the Thomas orchestra, was pleased with the work of the chorus. "They sing vight off the bat," said Wessels and he marked the time and the chorus, with out exception, was in time without a dragging note. The Choral society displayed marked improvement since the first chorus was rendered in Topeka. The number of voices was exactly sufficient for the of the Topeka Choral Union. size of the building. The effect of the choruses, with the orchestra, was par ticularly pleasing as the acoustic properties of the auditorium are perfect and not a passage, no matter how soft, was lost to the audience. There was not a "rongh spot" in the singing of the chorus. Thr.se who heard the 400 voices with the Thomas orchestra in the Kansas City Convention hall and then heard the 200 voices in the Topeka auditorium gave the palm to the To peka singers. Thi. soloists were Jenny Of horn, so prano; Glenn Hall, tenor and Frank) Croxton, basso. Neither they nor the orchestra won the ereatest applause nor the most marked attention. The Choral society was the attraction of tin; opening concert and carried off th honoi s. During a short pause a large bouquet of roses was handed to Director Pennv. He had received a baton and unlimited applause from the audience and the chorus and he thought that the favor was for Miss Osborn. He nanded the flowers tri her without so much as look ing at the card. Miss Osborn refused them and relied Director Penny's atten tion to the card which bore his name MISS OSBORN A FAVORITE. Of the soloists Miss Osborn seemed, the favorite. Her voice is rich and strong and even while carrying th-' principal part with the orchestra and the hor ns. in the heavier passages net voice was easily heard above the rest. Mr. Hail and Mr. Croxton received tlvir share of applause. but the audi ence was not particularly dem onstrative except toward the Choral society. MRS. JENNIE OSBORN HANNA. Prof. Penny seemed to have a way of conduct an oratorio which was new to the Chicago musicians. There was an Intermission. naif a Hzen of the mem hers of tiie orcheprra left, the stage and walked to the front of the building. Di rector Penny had no idea cf allowing a long nd nnneov.esmrv recess. Before the players had reached' the lobby Director Pennv had rnnnpH for yjt.irtinn arirl befo( !the players could get back to their place i the orchestra was playing. The piavers I who were left out looked at each other in astonishment. The idea of the orchestra j attempting to play without them! It was prri est- reus. But somehow Director Penny got along all right. At the nrst chance the players slipped into their places and went to work. (Continued on Page Six.) TRYIilG J( FIX IT. Conservative Members of Fra ternal Aid Are Busy. Making an Effort to Smooth Out the Trouble. MEETING OPENS TODAY. First Session Held in Represen tative Hall This Morning. More Light on Where the Money Went. With all the warring interests of the factions in the Fraternal Aid associa tion, whose general council is in ses sion in Topeka. there is an element of conservatism in the outside delegations that may lead to an outcome of the election different from that claimed by either of the sides who are most hotiy contesting for the offices. The California delegation of about twenty members has refused to affil iate with either of the two factions who have opened opposing headquarters, Oeneral President H. E. Don Carlos at the Copeland hotel and General Sec retary M. D. Greenlee at the National. The California people are boarding about town wherever they are suited and are holding caucuses in the state house in an unused room. With them the six or eight members of the Indiana delegation hold frequent consultations and the Colorado delegates are in closer touch with these delegations than they are with either wing of the Kansas contingent in which is the seat of war. It is possible they may unite upon A. M. Harvey of Topeka. MAY CONTROL ELECTION. These three delegations comprise thirty or forty out of the 138 delegates who have votes in the general council. The Greenlee caucus claims about BO votes, many of which are also claimed by the Don Carlos peopie who control the rest. It is very probable that the disinterested outside delegations can find considerable support among the del egates who are claimed by the Greenlee and Don Carlos leaders. The election which was at first supposed to be like ly to occur Wednesday will not be held until Thursday or Friday. It will be about the last act of the general coun cil F. S. Pcoles of Los Angeles, Cali fornia, is an important member of the California delegation which comprises more members than any other state ex cept Kansas. SScoles said today: We have our ears both open and are taking in both sides of the situation here. We won't art until we are thor oughly assured of the right course, and then e will act together. Our delega tion sees that the financial affairs of the association need looking after and we are here to secure legislation that a e.-rt- ,..e ha-o speiiT-efl tne i we need. Alter we nae sttujm mv. legislation we will see to the election oi officers and California, will support the man who is of the most assistance in putting the legislation through. I have no authority for the statement and have r,ot consulted mv fellow delegates about it. but I am inclined to think it likely j that the whole siaie oi umu'i i which will occupy the greater part of be wiped clean and new men elected three days, papers by eminent authori who are not interested in the politics ot ,ies he read on the spread of mala- the association, i na e nor iur idea who those men will be and am not thinking about the question now." A graduated schedule of equalized rates for the assessment of Fraternal Aid members is advocated by Califor nia. The present system of monthly as sessments of equal amounts for each member has not proven satisfactory. The influence of any officer has not af fected this fact. The Californians say they have a number of important reso lutions to introduce later. The schedule dfired is to be baFed upon the statis tics oommonlv used by insurance com panies for estimating death losses and the idea has been accepted by most of the companies now successfully doing business. The problem is the same one, in a further advanced stage, that the Modern Woodmen will settle at the na tional meeting at Indianapolis in June. THE COLORADO CANDIDATE. J J Bradley of Denver, for four years a member of the Colorado legislature and a contractor in business, is talked of as a compromise candidate for gen eral president. Mr. Bradley's boom was started bv his own delegation and he is not pushing it with anything like the vigor that H. E Don Carlos and E. S Hancock are using in their campaigns. The Colorado delegation is interested in a change cf rating. DON CARLOS' SIDE. At the Copeland hotel Don Carlos caucuses are frecunt and well attend ed Dcouty Sheriff Siddell of Cowley county who is in the Don Carlos camp said todai-: "The material that is being used in the fight upon President Don Carlos might have as W-M1 been brought out in the fight two years ago or charged against the officers who had had charge of things trior to that election. The trouble that has reduced the funds of the association is in the bas'S of assess ment, which is too low. Two years ago the association was 3VOo behind and it is now S1C0.O0O in outstanding claims. There are not. however, any cliims out standing lhat have run more than the 90 days which the association reserves in which to pay after adjustment. Many of these claims are not adjusted. "The claim that the officers of th executive board couin not get logetner to rectify the situation is true, but wan caused bv the fact that mithor std would bear th responsibility i'f levying additional assessments on the mem bers. You know that an extra assess ment brings forth a howl and neither the Greenlee side nor the Don Carlos side would take the responsibility. The situation is not affected by whoever i.i in the office of president. I don't care if the president was drunk the whole two years of his teim it would not affect the finances of the order on the present basis because just so much of the in--come goes into the mortality fund and only that ran be spent for death losses. HANCOCK'S PLATFORM. E. S. Hancock, who is actively cam paigning for the presidency, is in favor of a reduction of the expenses of the officers and of the field work. He said todai-: "In my opinion the salaries attached to the officers of the association ought to be whittled down and all rossihie expenses cut off until the business is in good shape again. If elected president it will be my policy to do away with the field expense, which has used a large amount cf money during the last tv, t. years, until the rssociation is on a really practical foundation. After that we cat. resume our soliciting and put back ths i salaries but at present the most rigiu economy is demanded." WHERE THE MONEY WENT. Figures in the reports of the business of the Fraternal Aid association show that '.here has been an enormous ex pense during the Don Carlos adminis tration for the solicitation of new mem bers. Compared with previous adminis trations this expense appears not to be justified. In the years of W'l and 1IX)2 the ex act amount of $64,301.01 was paid out for salaries and expenses of persons en gaged to get in members for the order. During those two years the net gain of membership was but 6.15s members, 16,0d0 being taken in and 10,000 lost from death and lapsation. During the four months since the end of that time Janu ary 1 to May 1, $13,457 more has been spent by the organizing department, as it is called. Contrasted with this the expenditure of $3S,6ST with a net gain of 5,482 mem bers during the two years, Isyi) and 1900, indicate that the Don Carlos' ad ministration has not received adequate returns for the money spent in getting new material into the association. The president is at the head of the organiz ing department. His duty is to build up the membership of the order and he has almost exclusive control over the field work. One of the claims against him is that the men jiaitl to do lield work were appointed simply to hustle voted for his reelection. TODAY'S SESSIONS.

Southern Pacific Declines to Con tribute to Entertainment Fund. San Francisco. May 12. The South ern Pacific company has declined to contribute to the fund for the reception and entertainment of President Roose velt during his three days' stay in this city. Mr. Kruttsehnitt. for the railroad, says that the presidential train is being hauled free of charge, mat the legisla tive "junketing train" is being hauled free, and that the company intends to bring several military companies to this city during the reception of the presi dent, also without charge. Mr. Wat kins of the finance committee said: "I toid him that this city had no part in the matter of the hauling of the pres ident to this city free of charge, but I suggested that, as the president is the representative of a client of the South ern Pacific which pays to that coroora tion between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 an nually for hauling troops, freight and mail, a free ride to such a customer was not an extraordinary courtesy." BRAKEMAN SHOT AT. Violence Is Developing Along the Mobile Koad. Mobile. O., May 12. The ultimatum issued by General Manager Clark to the effect that all striking employes must return to work or their places would be filled, failed of effect here as none of the men returned. A freight left this morning for Oka- jioma. Miss., and was manned by no.i- union men and guarded by officer: Eight nonunion men arrived last night from Meridian and West Point. Mis., and are awaiting orders of the com pany. J. J. Anderson of West Point, Miss., head brakeman of the freight train which arrived last night claims that he was shot at three times as the train passed through .Whistler, five miles north of Mobile. Anderson is a non union man. KILLED BYAH EDITOR. A Lawyer Starts a Row With the Sun Man at Dalhart. Dalhart, Tex., May 12. W. T. Keith, an attorney of this place, was shot anel killed by George F. Kornegay, editor of the Sun as the result of a quarrel over an article printed in the Sun concerning Keith. In the fight Keith fired at Korne gay without effect. Kornegay fled af ter the shooting. Both recently arrived here with their families. Clay Taylor, alias Prof. Plutte, Arrested at San Jose. Supposed to Hare Designs on the President's Life. WROTE TO ROOSEVELT Adrisiiig Him Not to Visit the Town. He Has Three Terms in Prison Kecorded Against Him. San Jose, Cal., May 12. Clay Taylor, alias Prof. Plutte, has been arrested by Detective Pickering for supposed de signs on the life of the president. He has served three terms in prison. It is alleged that he wrote to the president advising him not to come here. He is also accused of recent anarchistic ut terances. President Roosevelt gave the peopie of the county an object lesson on the evils of vandalism while at Santa Cruz. He was taken to the Big Tree grove. Almost the first sight that greeted hds eyes as he entered the park was one of the huge trees with thousands of busi ness and personal cards tacked on it. Tourists for years have been placing their cards upon this tree and it began to look more a receptacle for bits of pasteboard than it did one of the won ders of nature. The president instant ly expressed his disapproval of such a procedure and a little w hile later, when asked to make a speech, called attention to the defacement of the trees and said he hoped the people of California would see to it that such vandalism was stop ped. He also intimated that he would like to see the cards taken down. Later, when the president went for a walk through the park the members of his party, together with members of the re ception committee tore down the the cards. Later in the day the president again signified his disapproval of plac ing large placards or signs on the trees. He was informed the committee wished to name one of the trees after him. While desiring that some other name be given to the tree, the president said he did not want to act churlish in the matter and if the committee really de sired to name a tree after him he would not object. He stipulated however, that the card bearing his name, that was to be placed on the tre should not be more than three-quarters of an inch by an inch and a half in diameter. The president made speeches at Pa jaro, Watsonville, Santa Cruz and San Jose, addressing the largest audience of the day at this place. He was taken on a drive through the country here, stop ping for a few minutes at Campbell, where he participated in the planting of a tree. The president spent the ev ening on his car. Santa Cruz, Cal., May 12. President Roosevelt was given an ovation here. After a drive on Beach Hill, where he had a good view of the bay city, the. president was driven along pactnc avenue which w as covered w ith an ini -mense throng, hundreds having come from miles around. His carriage was driven through an avenue of thousands of school children, with waving flags who for a mile scattered flowers along his pathway. The cheers of the chiiei ren were taken up by the pioneers, the Grand Army. Avalon company E. K. K. of P. and citizens. In a carriage witn the president were Mayor Clark, and J. W. Linscott. chairman of the execu tive committee for the president's enter tainment. In carriages that followed were also Congressman Needham. State Controller Coigan. F. O. McCormick, Benj. Ide Wheeler, President Butler of Columbia and Col. Brady of New York Flags were lavishly displayed. The court house was a mass of natural color. The president's carriage was preceded by the naval reserves and a band. When the carriage stopped in front of the court house the cheering was vigor ous. On being introduced by Major Clark, the president, whose smiles tes tified to his appreciation of the recep tion said: "I thank you for this greeting. I thank you for your esteem. I wish to say a word, and especially to the men of the Grand Army and the representa tives of the pioneers, to the men who proved their loyalty in the supreme test of '61 to '63 and to the pioneers who showed their patriotism in winning th gnlden west for their country. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is a pleasure for me to see the men of the naval militia. If there is one thing this country is alive to, it is our navy. We must believe in a first class navy. We already have a good navy, but we must have a better one. Not only should we have good guns, good conning towers and turrets, but expert men with them. We cannot afford to neglect our navy. We must build it up; we must have the best of fighting ships and the best ot men to man them. I congratulate you on the progress made in California You have a wonderful state. I am glad to see that your big trees and mission are being preserved. They should be as they are the heritage of the age?. They should be left unmarred for our children and our children's children and so on down the ages. Good bye and good luck to you." Preceded by the naval reserve and hand the procession moved slowly up Locust street to a special train. The big trees were reached in fifteen min utes and the part st down to an al fresco luncheon. Twenty of Santa Cruz's prettiest young ladies waited on the tables. The naval reserves and offi cers acted as a guard. At the close of the repast the president said: "I want to thank you for your courtesy and to say how much I enjoy being here. ThN is my first glimpse of these big trees. I desire to pay trihute to the assoi ia tions. private owners and state for pre serving these trees, and also to the citi zens who acted in co-operation with the stare in preserving these wonderful trees. Let me preach to you a moment. All of us desire to see nature preserved. Above all the trees should not be mar red by idacing cards of names on them. Peopie who do that should be sternly discouraged. The cards give an air of ridicule to the solemn and majestic giants. They should be taken down. I ask you to keep all cards off of the trees or any kind of signs that will mar them. See to it that the trees are pre served; that the gift from nature Is kept unmarred. You can never replace a tree. Oh. I am pleased to be here among these wonderful redwoods. I thank you for giving me this enjoyment. Preserves, and keep what nature has done." The president requested he be unac companied in his walk among the trees, and President Butler was his only com panion. While he was away E- b. Mc Cormick, Secretary Loeb, President Wheeler and others acted on the presi dent's suggestion by tearing down the cards from the trees amid great ap plause. During the luncheon the presi dent was informed that the Spanish beans served at luncheon were made by Mrs. Gesetterez. who resides near Watsonville, the mother of thirty-tour children. He laughed heaitily, saying: "She should be made the president of some association: I don't know what." I. I. Hahn, for the pioneers, present ed the president with a, silver plate. A tree was dedicated in the president's honor. The president expressed his thanks, but he objected to a big sign with his name on it. He was also pre sented with pictures of the big trees. After a photograph was taken and many had shaken hands with him, the train starred for this city. The station at Big Trees was crowded with people from Boulder Creek and Felton. While the party was at Big Trees native daughters decorated the train with flowers. At 12:50, amid great cheering, from the large crowd, the train left for San Jose. The president was much pleased with his reception and apprec iative of everything done in his honor. REACHES FRISCO. President Roosevelt Arrives at the California Metropolis. San Francisco, Cal.. May 12. Presi dent Roosevelt left San Jose at S:G0 o'clock this morning on his way to this city. A half hour's ride through or chards and fields brought the train to Palo Alto, the site of the Leland Stan ford, Jr., university. Here the presi dent left his carriage and was driven up a palm lined avenue to the famous university quadangle. formed by the grouping of tile-covered buildings in the Mexican style of architecture. Here he was greeted by President David Starr Jordan, the faculty and assem bled students, to whom he delivered a brief address. After a leisurely in spection of the campus and buildings including the beautiful Stanford Me morial church, which he declared was one of the most artistic religious edi fices in the world, the president was escorted to his car by the entire college body. Hundreds of residents of Palo Alto and the adjacent country had as sembled at the depot and as the train Dulled out there arose a deafening roar of college yells, mingled with the cheers of the nonulace. Shortly betore l:w o'clock the presidential party reached Burlinganie, the picturesque nome or the Country club, where a stop was made for luncheon. For this event President Roosevelt was the guest o Flenry T. Scott and many prominent citizens of California were present at the informal repast. After a rest under the trees and a stroll about the grounds tire journey was resumed. Milbrae, San Bruno and South San Francisco in succession were passed and at 2:15 p. m.. prompt ly on time, the main depot of the coast division of the Southern Pacific at the corner of Third and Townscnd streets, in this city, was reached. The arrival was announced by a presidential salute fired bv the naval reserve. The party was met by the citizens' executive com mittee, whose president M. H. De Young, greeted President Roosevelt in the following words: "Mr President: In the name of the citizens of San Francisco. I extend you a hearty welcome. In the days of old, when our land w as owned by the Span iards who were noted for their hospi tality, when thev received a guest they generally saluted him with the remark: 'Our house and all that is in it is yours.' We sav to you today: 'Mr. President, our house and all that is in it is yours, and with it we give our hearts and you will have evidence as you pass through 'our decorated streets of the hearty sentiment for you that prevails in the I bosom of all of our citizens. We will tn- to make vour stay with us pleasant. and we hope that when you leave us you will do so carrying with you the memory of one of the most delightful visits of vour trip througout the west. Mr President, vou are welcome." To this cordial address of welcome. President Roosevelt made a brief re sponse, expressing his gratification at having reached the metropolis of the Pacific coast. The president and his party were then escorted to carriages and to their places in the military procession already form ed under command of Major General MacArthur. U. S. A., and Major General Dickinson of the national guard of Cali fornia. The line was a long one includ ing cavalry, infantry, blue jackets from war vessels in the harbor, detachments of the naval reserve and several semi military organizations. From Third street one of the least im posing thoroughfares of the city to Market street where modern sky scrapers abound, the president passed through a lane lined by thousands of cheering citizens. At Market street the elaborate decorations, the fluttering flags, the swinging wreaths of green and the maze of pendent electric globes at once attracted the president's attention and he expressed his appreciation in hearty terms of the general effect. The sky was clouded and probably 2O0.0OO people were on the streets through which the presidential party passed. On Van Nss avenue the presi dent's carriage halted while the parade passed in review. The people cheered constantly and innumerable flags were wa--ed. Immediately after the review the president will participate in the dedi catory exercises of the Y. M. C. A. building one of the finest structures of the kind in the United States. Then after a brief stop at the Press club, where he will inscribe his name on tha register, h will receive the consular service, military officers and others at the Palace hotel. In the evening he will be the guest of honor at a banquet tendered by the citizens of San Fran cisco for which elaborate preparations have been made. San Jose, Cel.. May 12. Presidert Roosevelt passed the night at Oamnhell in order to avoid the noise at the depot in this city. He arose refreshed and ate a hearty breakfast. The train arrived here at 8:20 this morning. There was a large crowd at the depot and as th trnin nulled out for Palo Alto the nresi- dent stood on the platform and waved his nanus. HE'S THERE TO FISH.

Clark called to order the twenty-ninth biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors of the United States. Cana da and Mexico. Little business was transacted at the opening session other than perfecting the organization, ad dresses of the officers and the reading; of the reports of the various standing committees. Grand Chief Conductor Clark in his address reviewed the work of the past two years and spoke encouragingly of the prospects of the future. This evening there will be a public re ception in Carnegie Music hall, when addresses of w elcome will be made by the city officials with responses by Grand Chief Conductor Clarke and Mrs. J. H.

Tim Humane Sizes Up the Eastern Teams. Figures Boston Will Lead the National League. GOOD FOR LONG RACE. Xew York Team Is Playing Ahead of Its Speed. Likes Philadelphia Best iu American League. Washington June Looks Well at First Glance. Cincinnati, May 12. In a special to the Enquirer from Boston, Tim Hum ane say si: I have seen the four eastern teams of the National League in several games, and can see nothing stronger than Bos ton. The team looks weak on pap?r, but when sized ip for a long race the boys look pretty good. Buckenberger is a first-class manager, and can keep his men in good form with the best of them. The team has four good pitchers, and a youngster to pitch the outside games. This same player, Stanley, is a clever outfielder, while Aubrey is a handy man for the infield. The team is not touted as a pennant possibility, and has all to gain by a good showing. I look for this team to be in the first division in September. New York is now p laying the dashy game characteristic of them in the springtime. They look good, but by a close study vou will find many different style of players in the makeup, and as a whole a combination that wdll go bad when the cards break against them, as they are sure to do, especially on the road. The team "is after the umpire, and whooping her up as if they had been given new life. If this spirit could be held it would mean much for the big city. Lauder lias regained his old form, which means third base will be well ta ken care of. First base is well played by McGann, and short and second are covered in a sort ot way. The outfield is only fair, while the catching is not of the best. In the box the Giants are strong. McGinntty and Mathewson must hold the club in the race. Should either go bad it would be all off, but the same might be said of other teams. Brooklyn has a light team, full of brains, and sure to grow strong with time under Hanlon. Schmidt is already one of the greatest pitchers in the business, and a winner for Brooklyn. Hanlon is trying to trade a catcher for a good hitting outfielder. The offer was made to Col lins, who has five outfielders and one catcher, and the Boston man failed to make a move. Before September Hanlon will have a very smooth team, but too late to get the money this season. Philadelphia will need at ieast three new players to place the team in the running, and they must be as strong as the best players now on that team. As a whole it looks as if the west had a shade the best of the east this season and would win out in the series. Cincinnati, with a poor start, will cer tainly be heard from. There is no de nying the fact that Joe Kelley has the material to land second place, and it looks as if Joe was taking more inter est in his work than ever. Chicago is making a fine showing, and no club bet ter deserves success, as Jim Hart has shown the proper spirit in going out for the best in the minor leagues and pay ing for them. Larry Lajoie is a sick man. and rf little use to the tlevela'ml-eiiib. which puts that club fait of the running from the start and affects its drawing powers, liig Ed Delehanty is hitting weakly for the Sen ators and of no more value than an ordi nary fielder, and George Davis is loafing while Chicago and New York are both winning. All going to show that it's not a few ball players that make the great game or the success, of any league. It will be some time yet before one can get a proper line on the different clubs of the American league. Of the teams 1 have seen work up to date I like the champion Athletics best. They are filled with confidence, and. while missing the fine, all-round work of Pave Fultz. have a much stronger pitching corps than last year, and after all it's the pitcher that actually makes a oali team. In Fender and Henley. Connie Mack picked up two rangy box men with a fine variety of balls, thus giving him two crai-kerjack left-handers in Waddell and Plank and three tine right-handers in the two above-named, with Coakley, the Holv Crops pitcher, who will join the team about June 1. 1 think this the strongest corps of pitchers connected with any one clufi, and. tinder the crafty handUng of Mack, likely to keep the euakers right in the hunt to the last. The Quaker infield is very fast Davis, Cross and Cross have nothing to ask of the best, while Dan Murphy has improved until there is no more valuable player in the country for the place, with perhaps three or four ex ceptions. He is a batsman and every-day player. Chicago has surprised the baseball fans down this way. But can the team keep up the same gait against the eastern cltibs? I have my doubts: in fact. It woiild be the surprise of the oasehall year. With the proper strength behind the stick Boston has a line ball team, but not a por.nant winner, as there is no disposition to keep on the lookout for talent, and Col lins is ever satisfied to make the best of what h has on hand to work with. The New York Americans can play bril liant ball, but are somewhat of an experi ment, with rather a light hitting record. They wiU have to depend on their fielding and" box work to pull them through, and this is the hardest kind of a long summer's job. The Washington club -will be a danger .-ww "y. -J ous proposition to monkey with, and with one more first-class infieider in form and a good pitcher would be a proper candidate tor first honors. Moran, tne college short stop, was making good with a vengeance, but strained a tendon in his right leg and wdll be of little use this season, while Gene Demontreville is about all in aa a ball player. AMERICAN LEAGUE AVERAGES. First Output of Figures Shows Some Fast Work. New Tork, May 12. The first install ment of the American League averages will give the followers of baseball aa opportunity to compare the work ot both National and American Leagues as the season progresses. According i the figures either the American has heavier batteries than the National or else their pitchers are easier than thosa in the rival organization. According to the first batch of dope tabulated 2'J players o! the American are already in the .200 class. Charles Farrell, of Boston, who started off like a whirlwind with the stick, and kept it up until an unfortun ate accident put him out of the game leads the league with the skyscraping figures of .563. Little James Barrett, of Detroit, an erstwhile Red, follows the big Boston catcher with .426. Williams, of New York, is keeping Barrett company with the same figures. Anderson, ot St. Louis, and Green, of Chicago, are also showing up as sremier sluggers with .4-1 and .413. Power, of Philadelphia; Sullivan, Chi cago; Kahoe and Sugden. of St. Louia, are bunched for catchers' honors. An derson, St. Louis, leads the first base men; Williams, N?w York, the second basemen; Collins, of Boston, is running away from all the third basemen, while Wallace, of St. Louis, is in a class by himself as shortstoa. Detroit leads in club batting and ranks second to Boston in club fielding. Boston also leads in the manner of long hits by clubs by three points from Philadelphia. MADDEN PURCHASES PULSUS. Eastern Turfman Buys the Promising Two Year Old from May Son. New York. May 12. W. H. May Son yesterday sold to John K. Madden the 2-year-old colt Pulsus, by Topgallant Glen Hop. The terms were private, but S20.000 is said to have been the price. It is believed the colt will carry the colors of E. R. Thomas. Bud May, who transacted the sale, says he believes the colt is the best pro duced in the last twenty years. Pulsus is of brown color and stands sixteen hands two inches high. He was given early training at Memphis, and was pro nounced the best colt there. Since his arrival at Morris park he has done phenomenal work. In one in stance he did the backstretch half, finishing -up the hill, in 48 seconds, which is two seconds faster than any other 2-year-old at the track has trav eled over the same ground. He is well engaged, but is not in the Futurity. COLT WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD Son of Cresceus, Owned by A. B. Spreckels, Highly Valued. San Francisco. May 12. A colt has been foaled on the Aptos ranch of A. B. Spreckels that cannot be bought for his weight in gold. This little piece of horseflesh is by Cresceus, the champion trotter, with a record of 2:02U. while his dam was Zaronia (2:1334). Zaronia is by Dexter Prince, who has a grand record for giving speed to his descendants. This colt is the first Cali fornia bred colt sired by the champion. Spreckels would not take J20.000 for the little colt less than a day old. Britt Is Determined. San Francisco. Mav 12. .Timmie Britt is determined to fight Joe Gans. "I I have made up my mind to fight Gans in order to quiet critics who charge me with cowardice in refusing him a match," said Britt, as he was crossing the bay to Pausalito on his last trip to Larkspur. "While I am in the fighting business I may as well ttry to get to the top, and if I fail then I can retire from the game and again go to work in a plumbing shop. "There is one thing, however, that I will say, and that is that I am not go ing to lose against the black fellow. I can whip him as readily as I beat Krne and Fitzgerald." Corbett Chary of Yanger. Denver, Col., May 12. In speaking of a match with Yanger, Corbett intimated that Yanger is not entitled to a match with him. "I will fight Yanger," he said, "but I must dictate the terms as chamoion. "Here is the proposition I make: McGovern, Yanger and Broad fight it out themselves and then I will meet the winner. I will bet that Yanger will not be the winner of such a match. True, he has defeated me, but in turn I de feated him at least three times in ten rounds when we met again. "Yanger's defeat of Broad, who has been defeated by Attel, McGovern, Mc. Fadden. Buddy Ryan and mvself. does not entitle him to a match with me." Jockey Injured at Chicago. Chicago, May 12. The feature race on the Worth card, a seven furlong handi cap for 3-year-olds and upwards, was marred by an accident in which Jockey Coburn narrowly escaped serious in jury. Coburn's mount, Abe Frank, fell and dragged the boy thirty feet. When the jockey was picked up he was un conscious, but he soon rallied, and it was found that a bruised back was the worst injury he had sustained. The race was won easily by Beau Ormonde, the favorite, George K., being second, two lengths back, and C. B. Campbell third. Tressilian, at 60 to 1, took the second race. Racing at New York. New York, May 12. Lux Casta, with Odom up. won the Grotona handicap at Morris park. She was favorite and after lying third to well into the stretch. Odom sent her to the front and won driving by a neck, with Royal second and Olympian, an add'ed starter, third. Mexican, who was making his first apearance of the rear, won the last race by a head from Zoroaster. with the favorite, River Pirate, third. Five favorites and one second choice divided the money. Corbett in Fine Condition. San Francisco. May 12. James J. Corbett visited the Olympic theater to day and after considerable vigorous exercise boxed a few rounds with Yank Kenny, his sparring partner. He ap peared in the best of condition and was not at all distressed by his vigorous fistic encounter. Vanderbilt'8 New Machine. Paris, May 12 Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt. jr.'s new automobile, which will elrive in the Paris-Madrid race, is a sixty-horse power Mors. There is a report that he paid $15,000 in order to have the best the factory could produce. M. Fournier has been trying it recently on roads, and says it will do. Racing at Louisville. Louisville, Ky May 12 J. W. Pugh's Silk COTd won the free handicap for 3-year-olds and upward at one mile, which was the feature event on the card. Harry New and John McGurk declined the issue, leaving nine to face Best Spring Remedy Ever Formulated Miss E. M. Swan Completely Cured of Terrible Blood Troubles That Doctors Could Not Relieve. In the month of May it is an absolute necessity that the body should be fur nished with a richer and purer supply of blood for the establishment of a health that can successfully cope with the en ervating effects of hot summer weather. Poor blood in May produces listless, ambitionless, sleepless, and sallow-faced men and women, who quickly become victims of some organic disease that ends life.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1903. onii nnnn !ici?FQ miLiiunu liLwui Great Northern Trainmen Vote to Sustain Their Committee. 1,199 Votes For to Onlj 15 Against. 30 DOUBLE HEADERS. That is the Meaning of the Trainmen's Vote. General Strike on the System Is Almost Inevitable. Ft. Paul. Minn.. May 1J. The situa tion on the (5. N. with regard to a strike is yr -carded, as extremely critical. An ultimatum has been sent by the Keneini committee declining the con cessions offered by 5eneral Manager Ward at The conference held between Jlr. Ward and The committeemen Mon day and insisting on the original de mands of the men with regard to ''dou ble headers." Neither fide will say much regarding the state of affairs, elthoug.i Mr. Ward expressed himself as hopeful that a strike might yd be averted. He has notified the committee that ie will send an answer to their latest communication. Following the conference yesterday Vetween JTi association men not mern lers of the committee and General Manager Ward at which the latter of fered to insert, in the agreement to be iimed an article jiDdging the road not to run more than ;1 per cent of double headers, a meeting of the general com ji.itf e was held to consid -r this pro Vsal. Later the men waited upon Mr. .'ard. and after they had announced file result of the vote taken on tne sys tem the general manager renewed the proposition he had made at yesterday's conterence. The vote, which was not anouneed until late Monday, showed that the men in their claims of almost a un animous vote in support of the posi Tiin of their committee has not exag-K"-ated. The poll a.s given out offi c ully shewed 1.1'i votes in favor of the committee demands, while but 15 votes re cast in favor of the company's pnposition. Of the 15 votes for the com pany, fourteen were cast by conductors aid 1 by a trainman. Somewhat to the surprise of 'he manage ment the eastern, or Minneapolis, divi plm, upon wliuh the double-head r is not :n issue, voted solidly in favor of the cotn rrltue. After Mr. Wnrd had been advised of the insult of the ballot, and had made his jrorosit inn of 3 per cent, double header, inn nun retired to their headquarters and tpent most of the afternoon in diseustdr.g he advisability of accepting or reieet iru? tiie ospr. Shortly after 5 o'clock it was announced that a reply had been j-'ent to the general manager reaffirming the original demail'ls.

He Authorized the Strict Enforce ment of Anti Saloon Rule. Speaking of the recent Dodge City af fair, the Chicago Record-Herald says: Six men employed in the train service of the Santa Fe on the Kansas division have been discharged for frequenting saloons. The employes were enginernen end t onduetors. The dismissal of th men, all of whom had been in the em- pi. W a of the Santa Fe for some' years, due to a determination by Third Vice President Kendriek to strictly en force the rule against frequenting sa loons and against the use of intoxicat ing liquors. It is not claimed any of the discharged men were drunk or that they wn-e to be classed as "boozers," but the officials of the company believe the standard of train service will be raised if the rule is enfori ed to t lie letter. Together with ether railroads the Santa Fe s rule hook, which every man in the train ser vice is supposed to know by heart, makes frequenting saloons, not to men tion drinking, a cause for instant dis missal. Some reiads are lax in enforc ing the rule, while others claim to rig idly observe it. It is generally i-i-og-razed by all railway managements that enginernen and trainmen who frequent After Mental Exer tion No Rest. Nervous, Irritable and Wretched. Dr. Miles Nervine Saved My Life.

President Rouse Has Made the Road a Paying Proposition. Officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas read report greatly improved conditions on their lines. In speaking of these improvements II. C. Rouse, president of the company, said: "The property is now in a position where the other fellow can name the rate." The entire main line of the system is now stone and gravel ballast with the exceotion of about 500 miles, and this is now being reballasted. All the lines are equipped with Fixty -six-pound steel rails, txce-it a stretch of seventy miles where the travel is extraordinarily heavy. where eighty-five-pound raiio have been laid. The entire system has been rebridged with stone and steel bridges, so that there is not a bridge or culvert on the entire line that is not ready for the heaviest equipment. This work has been largely charged to operating expenses The equipment has been well maintain ed and increased to meet the demands of the business; fifty-six new iocorno- j fives have been ordered and 2.000 addi tional freight cars. President If. C. Rouse took charge of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas proper ty fifteen years ago. and at that timet one could sot travel on the "Katv" system at a rate faster than fifteen miles an hour. At the time of the last annua! meetine- a oartv- nf direeTnr.3 traveled over the road at the rate of sixty miles an hour. It is declared that I the company has now largely completed i its extraordinary improvements and is in a position wnere it can begin the pay ment of dividends upon its $1:3,000.000 of preferred stock. The Missouri. Kansas and Texas railroad is now in as strong a position as any railroad in the southwest. It Is now a system of 2.600 miles, but by the close of this year it will have a mileage of 3.000 miles, largely an extension into Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The money for these extensions has all been provided and is in the treasury if the company. Bonds were sold about two years ago to meet these expendi tures. These extensions are all buiit from the proceeds of the sale of bonds, and the stock representing the new mileage all goes into the treasury of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas. Officials are enthusiastic about the prospect in Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory. These two territories are to be combined into one state, which it is be lieved will make a greater freight-producing section than the state of Texas. The "Katy" has a right of way 200 feet wide through the Indian reser vation, and is in a position to get the full benefits from the growth of this new agricultural section. It is declared that the outlook for crops in the South west was never better than at present. 1,600 MEN AT WORK. Cold Weather and Privation on the Santa Ee Cut-off. Las Vegas, N. M.. May 12. A man just from the Santa Fe cutoff camps east of Belen says that 1,600 men are working in the rock cuts in the Abo Pass region. The weather has been very colli in that part of the country, ice forming almost every night. The Amer icans are nearly all leaving the camps. The water is bad and the privat'.ons.are considerable. Work is being pushed tor ward with fair rapidity. The big cut, i:;o feet deep, is getting well along toward completion. Some wonder has been expressed that the company did not tunnel here instead of making such a prodigiously deep cut. The reason is that the material is so loose and shaly that the digering of a tunnel is practically an impossibility. It is an interesting fact that out in Abo canyon there are within a distance of three miles seven big steel bridges of varying length. The number of bridges necessary and the immensity of the ex cavations makes it evident that the building of the cutoff is going to cost all I kinds of money and is an engineering i feat well worthy of note.

The railroad men say that all this money wouldn't be spent on the Central P.ranch unless there was an object in view. They think it is the extension of the Central Branch to Denver. Atchison Globe.

He feels taller while he's on the stilts, and when he's off them he feels shorter than he erer felt. Stimulants re the stilts of the stom ach. Tbey make a man feel better for the time being, but he feels a great deal worse for them afterward. The need of the man whose stomach is weak is not stimu lation but strength. Ih Pierce's Golden Medical Discorery perfectly answers that need. It cures the dis eases of the digestive and cntritive system which make the stom ach "weak." It en ables the digestion and assimilation of food, so that the body receives the nutrition on which depends its strength.

When Grover Cleveland declared h! reposition to a second term, it is now recalled that he said nothing about ,i third term. Having waited till the late freezes were over the Grover Cleveland bootit stands a cood chance lo survive the summer, unless that great enemy of everything Democratic, drouth, shou'eel ovtiutia it. Newspapers in the biff cities through out the country have begun to knock on st I.nuis in connection with the Wot Id's fair, giving emphasis to her al leged inability to care for the crowd. If Ft. Louis succeed in inducing the crowd to come probably she won't worry much about nnythlp else. In a discussion of the Kan Salvador lni ident wherein that country refuses to pay a debt of $500. '00 due citizens ot the L'niied states and awarded by at. arbitration tribunal the Washington I'ost says: "Aside from the savagery of the custom of destroying and killing for the collection of private dhts, it i:t a gross injustice to the people to us -their money for such a purpose. There is not an iota of moral right in using the navy, which is the property of ail the people and the cost of which is not light, in collecting debts of A, B and C. And if the people are not satisfied that their navy will not be used for any but the most honorable purposes fot public, not private en. is they will cerse to take pride in it and will object to heavy taxation for its maintenance." There are those who believe that the same theory is applicable lo the collec tion of n-ivato debts due from one citi zen to another, wherein the entire ma chinery of the courts is set in motion to enforce a contract in which the taxpay ers are in no way concerned. During April the circulation of tht country was enlarged to the extent ot S'.-.-'iOeTT, largely through issues of new gold coin and coin certificates, though iliere was also a marked increase ii: the amount of bank notes. The total volume of money now in circulation in the I'nited States, as computed by the treasury department, is $2, r,T4. 72'"', compared with $2.260,7Fn.242 a year ago and ?l.r.t0.007,OS-'. two years ago. In seven years the total increase has been JI'-l.'MH 6:',7. There was a time when such an increase in the currency would havi t been termed "inflation" and probably! would have been considered dangerous j to business, but people have eome to roe- j ognize the fact that increasing trade j demands an expanding currency am! one cannot exist any great hrngth of time without the other. It is this thai has caused the clamor for an automatic currency system which will adjust itse't to tha needs f f commerce. The Grand Kapids Press thinks everybody ought to be satisfied, since "wo have the gold standard for which the malorlty de cided. and we have also the inllaticr: which the irinorki thought necessary." THE WORLD AND ITS COLONIES The area, population, commerce and methods of government of the colonies of the world a re discussed in detail by a monograph just issued by the treas ury bureau of statistics entitled "Col onial Administration. 100-1 itoo."

All of the governing coun tries are located in the temperate zone and practically all of the territory gov erned as colonies is, with the exception of Canada, southern Australia and New Zealand, tropical or sub-tropical.

Prof. George p. Penny will probably accept the position of dean of the Washburn School of Fine Arts, but he denies the report printed in the Law rence Gazette that the question has been settled. "It all rests where it has rested for tiie past two weeks," said Mr. Penny to day. "If the city will purchase a pipe organ for the Auditorium, I will come to Topeka. Some of the pipe organ men arrived today from New York. At a conference with the college authorities this morning, some of the minor details of the matter were satisfactorily settled, and the whole matter now hinges on the pipe organ question." The Question of the location of the school has been discussed at some length, and has been one of the matter;; upon which Prof. Penny's acceptance has depended. Prof. Penny will have rooms provided for his department down town, as well p.s at the college, and will thvs be able to k"ep in el ;s-: touch with the musical people of To peka. When the proposed tine arts building is constructed, it will havj to be eietermined whether it would D better to locate it on the college campus or down in the city. Both plans are under consideration. Topeka, of course will now give its assurance of the great pipe organ and secure Penny to the city and Washburn and make this a great musical center. It is understood that with Prof. Penny at the head of the school of fine arts, there will be associated with him in addition tojthe present faculty at Wash burn, Mr. and Mrs. Klingenberg, in strumental and vocal; George M. Stone, painting; AJbert Iteid, drawing and possibly II. M. Hartley, architecture. The repop-t published in the Lawrence Gazette is as follows: "Prof. Gc;c. B. Penny, who had been at the head of the school of fine arts of the Staue university for the past ten years, has decided to accept the offer of Washburn college and the Topeka Choral society to become dtan of the school of music of Washburn college. The salary will be $S.0"0 a year. Wash burn giving Prof. Penny the same as Kansas university and the extra $500 being made up by the Choral society. It is Prof. Penny's intention to estab lish a school of line arts at Washburn patterned after the State university. His decision to go to Topeka rested on the purchase of a fine- pipe organ for the auditorium and as he has secured promises of this purchase bis accept ance is assured. His resignariejn will take effect at the close of the school year in June." DOOR IS WIDE OPEN. Passports Are No Longer lie quired in .Manchuria. Fekin, May 12. The Kussian charge M.

LYONS IN TROUBLE. He Refused to Tell Thing in Alum Investigation. St. Louis, May 12. Former Senator W. F. Lyons of Kansas City, author of the anti-alum law, was a witness be fore the St. Louis grand jury for more than an hour and after being excused as a witness was taken to a private room, where he was held for the grand jury. It is believed that Lyons is standing on his "constitutional rights" in refus ing to give testimony that might in criminate himself and the grand jury wishes him to tell some facts that he has failed to tell. According to Lyons he introduced the bill which the haking pow'der trust fa vored at the 1S99 session simply because he considered alum a harmful ingre dient. MUNICIPAL PAVILIONS Planned in Connection With St Louis Model City. St. Louis. May 12. Tt is likely that a considerable number of American cities wilt maintain a municipal pavilion as a part of the "model city," or install a mu nicipal exhibit as a part of the general exhibition of the Louisiana Purchase ex position. The committee on legislation, has begun a movement to induce the mu nicipal lawmaking bodies to make appro priations to this- end. New York city has already macle an appropriation of $10.0ei0. Boston is at work on a similar appropria tion, and preliminary steps have1 been taken in Washington, 1. C. Secretary Phailefi E. Reeves of the committee on legislation has csddressed to the mayors of the twenty-five largest cities of the United States a letter urging that each city make a representative exhibit as a part of the general municipal exhibition. It is the purpose of the exposition to in stall the most comprehensive municipal exhibits possible, iiluatrntive of the civic development and progress of a selected number of the largest cities In the United States. These city exhibits will- be ar rangedlnccording to their proper classifica tion in Vthe departments of social economy or liberal arts, or in the case of a city which is a great industrial center, its exhibit may be placed wdth that depart ment of 'the exposition to which it ia. most closely related.

The weekly crop report of the weather bureau is as follows: The Ohio valley, middle Atlantic and southern states have experienced an other cool week and while the tempera ture has been above the seasonable average in the more northerly districts the reports generally indicate the need of warmth. In the lower Missouri, cen tral Mississippi and Ohio valleys and Atlantic coast districts, including the northern portion of the east gulf states,, rains would be of much benefit. Rain would also be beneficial in the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast districts. Much needed and abundant rains have fallen in the west gulf states and Flor ida. In Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wis consin the conditions have been general ly favorable. Corn planting continues very late but is now in general progress throughout the central valleys and has begun In the extreme northern districts. This work has been carried on under much difficulty in the lower Missouri, central Mississippi and fBiio valleys and por tions of the middle Atlantic states, owing to hard and! cloddy ground. Ger mination and growth have been very slow in all district's. In the west gulf states, however, the crop has recovered rapidly from the effects of the? cold ot the previous week. An improvement in the condition of winker wheat is report ed from Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Ohio, but the crop has suffer ed deterioration in Indiana. Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri, much in the southern portion of the last mentioned utstA tiavin? been e-iveatlv damaeed bv I rust and insects. Wheat is now heading as far north as Kentucky and southern Missouri. On the Faciric coast winter wheat continues thrifty in Oregon, but In Washington and California it is in need of rains, the late sown in Califor nia being very unpromising. Spring wheat seeding is now prac tically finished, and fche early sown is cominz up to good stands, and in healthy condition. No edamage seems to have resulted? from the severe weather of the previous week. In the northern Rocky mountain districts and in Wash ington the resorts are less favorable, rain beins needled. The seeding" of oats is nearly finished in tlte more northerly districts, where good stands are prom ised and from Texas northward to ths upper Missouri valiey the crop has im proved much since last v.-ek, but from the lower Missouri valley eastward over Illinois, Indiana and Ohio the stands are uneven and the crop much in need of rain. Although much too ernol. nearly the whole of the cotton region has reoeiveri abundant rain fall, which was of the greatest benefit. Planting is very nearly completed in the northern portion of the belt but the crop is generally much later than usual. The reports concerning apples are more encouraging than in the pre vious week, but the oetloofc for most ot the other fruit continues very poor. BISCHOFF TO EUROPE. Will Encourage Emigration of Jieet Sugar Farmers. Oscar Bischoff ileaves next Sunday for an extended European trip, during which he will encourage immigration from the thrifty farming classes ot some of the old countries to the beet sugar region of Kansas and Coloradee. He will sail on the Campania, of the Cuaiard line, on May 30. He expects to spend a month in England, some time in Ireland, and four months or more in Germany, visiting Switzerland before he returns. Mr. Bischoff visited the state board of agriculture today and loaded up on literature concerning Kansas agricul ture, which he will use in portraying the advantages of: farming in Kansas. "The emigration laws of Germajy are very strict," he said today, "but 1 hope to be able to tell some of my friends abrtiit Kansas and Colorado and interest them in coming over here. Those thrifty German farmers can become independ ently rich raising alfalfa and sugar beets in western Kansas, with the same effort that it takes for a bare living over there. The land in the old country is not near as good as Kansas land and it costs a great deal more. Lua.l over there requires a great amount of fertil izer and stall it will not produce as Kansas lance will. "Th C.erjnan farmers are as a rule well jersed in sugar beet culture, so that it will be nothing new to them. I believe that the beet sugar industry is just in its infancy in this country and that a great many mills will be built in the not distant future, if there arc beets enough raised to supply them. It I is my intention to interest some of I those thrifty German farmers in this business and fee if I cannot get them started over here to settle in the beet i sucar districts or Kansas and Colorado. I believe file.- i-1 be a greater immi- i gration to the United States during the next year or two than ever before, on account of the high taxes over there, tjie prospect for war and other rea sons." liOLLED UNDER THE TENT.

B' DOBBS WAS AT HOME His Children Make Affidavit in Pardon Case. John H. Stowell of Seneca, attorney1, for George II. Dobbs and Mrs. KmilU j New in their application for a pardon from the penitentiary, is arguing the application before Governor Bailey this afternoon. He has filed with the. gov ernor a bound volume of letters per taining to the case and other informa tion, most of which have been used be fore other governors in asking for a pardon. The only new documents are recent affidavits made by the children of Dobbs, Lulu Dobbs, now 15 years olci, and Charles 1 obbs, three years old er. Since their father has been in prison they have been living with an uncle at Redlaneis, Cal. They were re spectively S anel 11 years old at the tim J of the murder. Both make affidavit that they remember distinctly the night before the news of the murder was brought to the home near Eureka, and both swear that their father spent th" night in the house. The girl, who wse a little girl then, says she slept with her lather. The Dobbs-New case has been threshed through the courts for years. Only a few months ago the Unite! States supreme court got through with it. refusing a writ which would have secured a new trial. Applications we re made to both Governors Lerdy and Sta.tley for pardons for Dobbs and Mrs. New. and Leedy finally commuted Mrs. New 's sentence from life imprisonment to 40 years imprisonment, which was prat tie ally the same thing. Governor Bailey said today that ne would ueit retry any cases in hearing 'in plieations fo- paidons: that he siil if t pass on the e-idenee which has 1-ee n nefore a court and oj which a jury Has feu. id the defendants guilty. The only grounds that le will e onsieier for a pardon are m w t i 'U nce which shews that the fendants are not guilty, or the statements of juror-: who say that they were influenced bv popular 'semimt-nt to had the de-let, dam.' guilty and would now vote otherwise if 'givi'ii the opportunity.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, 31 AT 12, 1903. POLICE JOJTIiJGS. 21 r. and Mrs. Joe Johnson Treated to a Surprise. They Are Entertained by Judge Hamilton This Morning. HE LETS THEM GO. Finds That It Was Not I'rored They Sold Liquor. Events of a Day With Topeka Peace Guardians. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Johnson were en tertainer! at a. little gettir.g-out party this rriornirg by Judge Hamilton and everal members of the police force at thi ir club room, corner of Fifth and Jackson. The party resulted in a pleasant Sur prise for the guests, who expected to be presented with a conviction for "sell ing and," valued at $100 per and SO days on the side. The intentions of the police were all right, but their case was not sufficiently strong to warrant the court in making the presentation speech. Attorney W. W. Harvey had a largo etack of blue chips in the game, and cquitted himself, as well as the de fendants, in a charming manner. Sev eral of the police officers were called upon to entertain the guests by telling runny stories. Most of the stories were fn Air. and Mrs. Johnson. Sergeant Jenkins told how. upon calling at the Johnson home recently, he found fifteen bottles of beer in a tub of ice water re posing behind the divan in the front parlor, a jug of Indian whisky under the foot of the bed. et cetera, et cetera. That was quite funny, but Officer Sum mers went him one bettor by tilling how Mrs. Johnson had said. "There are others beside us sellin' beer around fcere." W. AV.

He railed the .-mention of the court to a section of the rules of eti qi.n it known as "An ordinance to pro Mblt, ftc," which says that the finding of little things like jugs and bottles in a house "other than a dwelling house" may be considered prima facie evidence, etc. Non of the witnesses "cad seen anyone drink of the strong waters, and they might have been kept for ornaments. Then the court made a humorous response in which he said that while the defendants would be dis charged, they mustn't do it again. As both gnosis are finite colored, it is hoped that the charming manner in which they wore entertained by Judge Hamilton am) staff will have much to do in solving the race problem. Col.

AVhereupon lie "opened up," dropping Hease at the first shot, and then shoot ing "Smoke" in the wrist and shoulder. Then "Smoke" annexed himself to a rock and chased Mr. Howry off the scene. He says that Howry had prom ised on a former occasion to kill him on sight, and that it is his opinion that Pease got a bullet intended for himself. AViiliams sustained only slight wounds, both of them being in the ileshy part of his arm. Mr. P. A. Xavin called on his land lady Sunday. There was nothing un usual about that.

A Methodist Preacher Talks Intem perately at a Meeting. New- A'ork, May 12. At the Methodist preachers meeting the Rev.

"Through length of residence, through steadfast service to the country in both peace and war, and through the wisdom he has shown in the use of his vote the negro has a clear right to the ballot," declared Mr. Morris. "If the United States do not protect the negro in his right to the ballot they deserve to be damned," cried a voice in i the audience. "If they do not they will be damned," i the speaker replied. j Irving (J.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 12. The su preme camp of Koyal Neighbors of America, an organization of women, convened in this city today in annual convention. One of the important mat ters to come up is a radical change in the by-laws.

No men are eligible except those who are members of "the Modern Woodmen. The change proposed would allow any woman more lhan IT years of age", of good moral character, to become a liHinb'r.

CURES CATARRH. "Hyomei the Alost Wonderful Cure for Catarrh Ever Discovered," Says Mayor Yard. Do not try to cure catarrh by taking drugs into the stomach; it cannot be cured in that manner. The only way in which this too common disease can be cured is through a direct application that will kill the bacilli of catarrh and prevent their growth. Hyomi is the only known method of treatment that accomplishes this. It is the simplest, most pleasant. and the only absolute cure for catarrh that has even been discovered. Thousands of unsolicited testimonials have been received from the most prom inent men and women in the country who have been cured by this remark able remedy. Ministers, bankers, law yers, even eminent physicians have sent strong testimonials as to the remark able powers of Hycmei to cure catarrh. Former Mayor Emory M. Yard, of Trenton, N. J., writes: "You have my permission to say that I believe 'Hyo mei' to be one of the most wonderful cures for catarrh and throat trouble that has ever been discovered. In my case the effect has been marvelous. I enclose you money order for two outfits for friends of mine to whom I have recommended 'Hyomei' and who I am anxious shall have the benefit cf this remarkable panacea." The complete Hyomei outfit costs but consisting of an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last some weeks. This will effect a cure in ordin ary cases, but for chronic and deep seated cases of catarrh, longer use is j necessary, and then extra bottles of Hy cmei tan be ,ht 'inert for Sflc. It it not alone the best lit mb'ht be called the I only method of i urirrr catarrh, hut it I is also the most economical. Geo. AV. Stansfield. druggist. 632 Kan. i ave. hf.s so much conndeice in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh, that he will for a limited time, sell this medicine under his personal guarantee to refund the money if the purchasers can say that it did not help them.

The week began with very cold weather and a severe frost but moderat ed rapidly and was quite seasonable at close of the week. Ciood rains have fallen in all portions of the state, ex cept in the northeastern counties and in Morris, with heavy rains from Norton and Phillips across the state to Barber and Harper. EASTERN DIA'ISION. AVheat, with few exceptions, has im proved and. is growing but it needs sun shine in most of the counties; it has not improved in Doniphan, and some has turned yellow in Montgomery; soms has begun to head in Montgomery. Corn planting is nearing completion in many counties, while in others the we! weather has delayed it; corn is coming up in all parts of the division but growth is slow. Oats are doing wed generally with good growth and color. Potatoes that were frozen to the ground are growing again. Alfalfa is making a very gixid growth: Late apples promise a fair crop. Rye is headed in Anderson Grass is growing fairly well. MIDDLE DIVISION. Wheat is growing well, though some has been damaged by the Hessian fly in Cowley. Corn planting has progressed where possible and most of it is done; it is coming up but growth is slow ow ing to cool v.cather. Oats are growing well except in the northern part of Jewell where the (rop is backward. Barley is in good condition. Rye is do ing very well and in Edwards is head ing. Alfalfa is growing rapidly; the prospect for a fair apple crop has im proved. Grass is improving, and in the south is growing rapidly. Gardens were not hurt as badly as many be lieved and are now improving. AVESTERN DIVISION.

Russell, a Chicago crop expert who comes to Kansas every spring to examine the condition of the wheat fields for the information of the opera tors on the Chicago board of trade who employ him. reached Topeka Monday afternoon and went right on to Harvey county to begin his investigations. Russell is one of the few crop experts who are really expert. The majority of them ride from Kansas City to Topeka on a train, viewing the Douglas county wheat fields from a car window, they read a few crop reports and then go back to Chicago and report on the con dition of the Kansas wheat belt. Rus sell, on the other hand, gathers all his crop reports and rumors of local dam age bttore hand and then goes direct to the wheat belt and makes his exam ination. He hunts for Hessian fly, digs down into the subsoil, examines the wheat riots, measures the depth of the moisture in the ground and secures other data. As a result he has come very close to estimating the Kansas wheat crop the last two years several weeks ahead of the harvest! The trouble with Mr. Russell is that it is difficult to get this information out of him. He saves it for the people who send r :m after it. AVhioh, of course, is all richt from his point of view, but which does not satisfy other people who would like to know what he thinks about it. AVhen Mr. Russell reached Topeka Monday he was armed with a number of newspaper clippings telling of seri ous damarre caused by fiy around Hal stead in Harvey county. He took lite first train for that place. THEY A HE IN EARNEST. Fifth Street People Insist on Street Railway Service.

Emporia people seemed inclined to re sent the fact that T. Ii. Gerow, direc tor of the state free employment bu reau, sent word there that 200 men are needed in Kearney county to work on the beet sugar farms, and that they are paid $20 a month and board. It is getting so that every Kansas community is guarding Its farm hands and other laborers with a jealous eye. Reports of hifc'h wages in other quar ters are not received with favor. Labor is too scarce. Of course Mr. Gerow simply notified the city clerk at Emporia, the same as he did all other city clerks in the statet who are ex-ofncio agents of the stata free employment bureau, that hands are needed in the sugar beet region. That is what the state free employment bu reau is for. In commenting on the fact the Emporia Republican says: Doesn't that Topeka man know that Eyon county is going to raise enough sugar beets this year to keep all of its farm hands busy, and perhaps cause a few to be imported? Doesn't he know that even if we didn't have sugar beets here we have enough wheat and corn to give employment to all the peopie here who want to work? And yet, In spite of all this, he writes here for la borers. Well, he won't get them, for the reason that the men who will work have all they can do." Fourth Day of Rain. Unroln. Neb.. May 12.

GOOD FOR KAW INDIANS. Each, Tribesman Will Ee Allotted 405 Acres of Good Land. Arkansas City, Kas., May 12. The deeds for the first allotments to the Kaw Indians have been filled out and sent to Washington for the approval of the secretary of the interior. This allotment of the Kaw lands is the fastest on record. It was only a little more than a year ago that the Kaws concluded to divide their land, and each Indian was allowed to select 160 acres. A short time after a law was passed enabling the Indians to divide the lands. The Kaw agent O. A. Mit scher, subagent of the Kaw reservation, and three members of the Kaw tribe, were chosen as the commission to com plete the allotment, and the work was finished within the thirty days allowed the commission, although the actual work of allot ing the land did not occupy more than-two days. There are 247 members of the tribe. Each will receive 405 acres of as good land as is to be found in the tetrritory. This division of the land will not dis solve the tribal relations. Any Indian, if he is deemed capable, may withdraw from the tribe and dispose of his land j as he chooses. The other Indians will tie anoweu to oispose ot tneir latia at the end of ten years, and at the end of twenty-five years may sell their allot ments. The land that was allotted to In dians who have died since the allotment began, will be sold to the highest bidder. Besides this land each Indian will re ceive about $1,000 in cash, and in addi tion will be allowed to lease his land for a term of years. It is believed that this plan will induce many whites to locate on the reservation. FOR A KANSAS FOREST. Secretary Hitchcock to Withdraw Land in Four Southwest Counties. Washington, May 12. Secretary Hitch cock will soon issue an order withdraw ing 73,000 acres of land in Finney, Grant, Kearney and Haskel counties, Kansas from homestead entry. The or der will be made in compliance with a request from Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture. The bureau of forestry has completed its plans for the establishment of a forest reserve of 94,000 acres in southwestern Kansas and immediately upon the order from the secretary of the interior, will begin its work. The boundaries of the reserve are ir regular. The tract will include 73,000 acres of government land, 4.500 acres of school land and 16,000 acres of private land. The northeastern boundary of the tract will run to within one mile of Gar den City. The nursery will be nerr Garden City in the irrigated district. The present plans contemplate th? planting cf seed from the jack nines of Northern Michigan. These experiments already have -been made on a small scale in northern Nebraska. The effort will also be made to cultivate the red cedar, which is now found in the vicin ity of McFarland, Kan. Two forest reserves w-ere established last year in Nebraska aggregating 2bj. 000 acres. One is in Thomas countv in the central part of the state and to other in Cherry county, in northern Ne braska. Former experiments on a small scale had positively demonstrated the success of tree culture in these sections of the state. LAST RACE SAT CRDA V. Two Shamrocks Soon to Quit Their Preparatory Spins. Gourock. May 12. Sir Thomas Lip ton and Designer Fife have decided that it is not necessary to devote fur ther time to trials between the Sham rocks on this side of the Atlantic. Con sequently, Saturday's race will be the last. The two yachts will be sent to the Greenock yard Monday in order to be fitted with their ocean rigs. Racing, however, has been arranged for every day this week. The boats started at 10:30 this morn ing over a course from Gourock to Rothesay and Balloch bay and return, 40 miles. A light, steady wind was blowing and fine weather canvas was set on both yachts. The Shamrock I had the advantage in being 200 yards dead to windward when the yachts started. After a- cou ple of miles of short tacking the Sham rocks came together, and the challen ger had done so well that she was able to cross the bows of her opponent and take the had. On turning the Rothesay mark at the finish of a 10 mile beat the times were: Shamrock III 1:03:15; Shamrock I j 1:11:40. The best me?;ls for 15c at Ladies' Ex change, 119 West Sixth street. E. E.

Mr. Thomas is nearly 70 years of age and he does not wish, nor will the management of the orchestra, allow him to undergo the. hardships of travel. Mr. Thomas remains in Chicago and on tour Frederick A. Stock is the lead er of the orchestra. Mr. Stock comes from a musical German family. His home is on the Rhine. He came to this country eight years ago. For four years he has been assistant conductor of the Thomas orchestra. Mr. Stock is a dar ing conductor. Since the orchestra has been on tour it was to play at Lincoln, Neb., with a chorus in "Faust." The chorus had been drilled by a woman who did not have the nerve to conduct the orchestra and the singers. Mr. Stock, who had not heard the singers, was called on to act as conductor. He ran over the score once, very briefly, and then at the concert led the chorus and the orchestra without a flaw. Mr. Stock is known as a reader of an orchestral score. He is a composer of ability. Last summer a concert was given in Chicago by the orchestra and soloists. All the numbers, including vocal, string quartettes, quintettes and piano accompaniments w-ere composed bv him. 'Theodore Thomas instituted his first orchestral concerts in Central Park, New York, in 1864. There is not a member of the orchestra as it is today who played with Thomas in Central Park. One member named Lora, who played the kettle drums in the Thomas orchestra in 1S67, was with the orches tra for 34 years. He died about two years ago. Lora went through the civil war and then joined Thomas. Theo McNiohol, the librarian of the orchestra, has been with Mr. Thomas for 21 years consecutively. Louis Friederick has been with Thomas the greater part of the time since 188. Leo pold Kramer, the concert master of the orchestra, has -been with the Thomas orchestra for six years. He was con cert master of famous orchestras in Cologne, Amsterdam and Berlin before coining to this country. Kramer is one of the best violinists in the country. Every member of the Thomas orches tra is under contract to play with that organization alone. All the players live in Chicago. Nearly all of them are teachers of music: The orchestra re hearses everv Monday, Tuesday, Wed nesday and "Thursday afternoon and gives a concert every Friday afternoon and Saturday night. Mr. Thomas con duces all the rehearsals and Chicago concerts. Before the orchestra began its tour March 30, 150 rehearsals had been held. The tour will end May 30. The Chicago season lasts 24 weeks. HE IS FROM TOPEKA. Mr. Weasels, of Thomas Orchestra, Formerly Lived Here. Frederick J. Wessels. manager of the Theodore Thomas orchestra, is a for merly of Topeka man. Mr. Wessels was In the shoe business in Topeka with his father. Thev were located at 624 Kan sas avenue." Mr. Wessels went to Chi cago in 1RR1. He was a singer of no mean ability and he at once became an active member of the Apollo club. He was secretary of that organization and was so successful that the organization in charge of the Thomas orchestra se lected him as manager of that organiza tion. "The chorus which sang 'The Crea tion" last night is an excellent organiza tion," said Mr. Wessels. "The chorus was well drilled. The tone finality wa3 excellent. The attack, one of the most necessary qualifications for gooti chorus singing, was fine. Mr. Penny, the con ductor, did well indeed. He had the chorus and the orchestra well in hand "Great changes have taken place fti Topeka since I left here," said Mr Wes sels as he sat in a window of the Na tional hotel and looked across Kansas avenue. Mr. Wessels was in a reminis cent mood. "Our store was over there he said pointing to a brick buiidii across the street. "Sly Fox occupied half the building with a music store It ail comes back to me now that I look the ground over. This was the old Teft house. In those days, more than 20 years ago. we had some musical events but nothing to compare with this fes tival. We had the Emma Abbott Opera company here once. J. G.

There were some famous or ganizations here in those da vs. There was the Flambeau club, the Governor's guards. "Is Charley Hollidav here vet? Yes"? Booming a gold mine in Trego countv?

He is stout, I believe. Plutocrate ly robust. "One of the soloists tonight will be Miss Mabelle Crawford, a Topeka young woman," said Mr. Wessels. "She has made a great success and is undoubted ly the very best contralto in Chicago." TREMENDOUS WHEAT CROP Lincoln County With 100,000 Acres to Raise 2,225,000 Bushels. Lincoln, Kan., May 12. The Outlook for crops throughout Lincoln county is the best possible. Wheat could not be more, promising. The acreage is over 100,000, and if favorable prospects con tinue the yield has been set by careful growers in round number of about two and a quarter million bushels, by far the largest yield the county has ever known. A poor field of wheat in Lin coln county is unknown at the present time. Lincoln is keeping pace with other towns in building activity. There are a number of new business buildings go ing up. The new Farmers' National bank building would be a credit to any town, and with its fixtures will cost close to $3,000. Business is expected to open in the new bank about the 20th. W. D. Morgan is completing his new two story stone block. The iower fiooe is to be occupied with a general stock, while the second floor will be fitted out for lodge purposes. King Berry have also let the con tract for a double stone and brick stora building. Paul Kohler is erecting a handsoma residence.

General pros perity appears to have hit Lincoln, as it has all the towns in the eastern part of the Sixth district. A. L. Shire, who has been one of tha permanent fixtures of Lincoln since 1SS1, is going to St. Louis to engage in th-3 wholesale business. He has made his business, that of a general merchant, a complete success financially. Push was always his motto. He is at the head of the new Farmers' National bank of Lincoln, as president. Besides, he is one of the principal stockholders of the new bank to be operated in Beverly, Lincoln county. The society loving people of Lincoln are always pushixg forward. Now they have organized a ladies' quartet, com posed of the Misses Hazel Nimmons, Lulu Watson and Ethel Hoover, and named it the Aeolian quartet. They have given several successful entertain ments, not only in Lincoln but in neigh boring towns. The quartet is in big demand at every important entertain ment, and a good deal of local pride is manifested in the success of the ladies' quartet. They are now practicing for the musical jubilee at Hutchinson, and they expect to enter the contest and win laurels. Prof. Claude A. Rossignol of Saiina, is the leader and instructor, who is also doing fine work for the Philharmonic chorus of this place. Over 00 persons belong to the chorus.

Statistics com piled bv the board of health show that the population of the city of New l'ork is increasing at a remarkably rapid rate. The births reported in Manhattan borough alone during the first four months of the present year were 2,000 m excess of those reported in the same period last year. It is pointed out that the cosmopolitan population and the large proportion of foreigners in the city may account for the high birth rate. E. J. Leederle, president of the board of health, says one reason for an in crease in the number of births reported over former vears may be due to the fact that the health department now holds any physician accountable who neglects to report a birth. At the same time that an increase in th birth rate is show n there has been a falling off in the percentage of deaths. In IihO the total number of births in th- city was 81.721, and the birth rate in "each thousand of population was I ast year the births were 85.643 and" 'the'rate 23.58. During the first four months of this year there were report ed an excess over the same months last year of 100 births in Brooklyn and of 500 in the Bronx. The citv has also gained enormously by foreign immigration. Taking all things into consideration, the board of health has estimated that the popula tion of the city has grown from 3,427.20 at the time of the last federal census in 1300 to 3,732.930 at present.

ALTERNATE PAGE FOLLOWS TQPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1003. i 1 M fJUK difference bf-twern French j; and American women is less marked than it was formerly in dress and in manners, that there is still one point of is but ma rked mtrast. The Frenchwoman will not wear bright colors on the street; the American not onlv will, but do-s. In Pnris dressmakers have certain toilets which they term carriage toilets, certain hats which they call carriage hats, and these comprise every thing whi h at tracts attention by its odd form or color. Of course French women have this a d v a n t a g e they are able to hire carriages at reasonable rates, while we are forced to pay what cabby demands. Bui still there are ways of beiri suitably dres-Mi for the street even if one has no carria.ee Tile lcn coat of un lined silk. Take the Ions coats made of unlined ilk. ft' her black, gray or drab. They m e just i he thing for the woman who lias a rather say costume to cover, and then, too. how much neater it is to pre serve the dress from the dust of the Ftreet and the s.-ats in public convey ances! The Ki enchwcm.an neariy al ways has some wrap of a si:bdued de mure shade from which chrysalis she emerges a radiar.t bntteriiy. There is snmethir.if subtle in that, too, which ap peals to the French mind. Secret of ooit Dresninjj. A friend of mine said to rne the other day: "J wonder what is the secret of being well dressed? 1 send enough money on my clothes, and yet I never can seem t,o get half the effect that my friend Mrs. So-and-so does by spending a t hird o' the sum." I looked at her. She wore a brown suit with a black In It and a diamond or. rather, brilliant, buckle. The open jacket showed a waist of white silk with a ribbon a round her net-k of pale I'lue with little pink roses on it. Her Jiat was of black chiffon with deep red roses set under the brim. "If you had a brown ribbon belt or a while one," I remarked, "and touches f ecru, tojeeth'-r with a collar of white end ecru on the waist, and if your hat tCasi ef.'i'.V riSv; uroivn "or some pal I think you would be surprised at I your own appearance." And that is a fact. The main idea is' 1 1 ivt ar gradations of the same shad" cr at any rate not to wear more than three colors at the same time. The plainest woman will look attractive if dressed ail in one color, and the great est beauty will caricature herself if she wears all the colors of the rainbow.

She is really well dressed, although she has not one-half the pret ty thing's that her richer friends have. Oh. these pretty things the useless, frivolous neckwear which can only be worn once or twice, the drawers full of crushed ribbons, artificial flowers, etc.! There is where the money goes. The Folly or "Scrim pins." Question is, to change the subject, does it aiways pay to be saving? There is a kind of saving which. It strikes me, is no economy at ail. I refer to that painstaking "soi imping" which pre vents one from enjoying the good things of life, good clothes, good food, an oc casional visit to the theater, an outing now and ihen. I know some women who save for a problematic old age and who in consequence are enjoying all the misery of life at the present stage of the game. Undoubtedly to save a iittle is a good thing, but how many of us never reach the old age for which we deny ourselves so much. I am reminded of the story of the old woman with tli" potatoes. Every day when she went down cellar she picked out carefully those that were growing old and cook--d them first. The result was that she ate moldy potatoes down to the end of the heap, for the fresh ones kept growing, old while she was sav ins' them and picking out the other ones. I think sometimes that, as in the case of the old woman, it is not a short sighted policy to use the best first. Artists ate beginning to live there is not a doubt about that. In the old days any old building was good enough for an artist; dirt didn't count, modern conveniences were not for him, and Mrs. Artist concealed the hous-hold im pedimenta as best she might behind convenient screens. Now all is changed. New buildings for artists are springing up on aii sides, and they are models of fine architecture and artistic interior decoration. A Pretty Stadia Bnijciincr. I visited one such the other day. The apartments range from small ones with one large and one small room to housekeeping apartments oc cupied by the wealthier art ists, men who receive from a thousand up for a painting.

The upper story contained the sleeping apartments, the lower the dining room and kitchen. A stairway with a balcony ran up from the studio, and the steps were decorated with palms. There is going to be a building exclu sively for musicians next year built UC-0-1-..tI- scrV:ie plan, with' paiecr walls and ail sort3 of convenient I shelves for scores, musical works, etc. This will be a boon not only to the mu- I sician and to the violinist, who hereto- j fore has had to practice in his garret, but it will be an inestimable benefit to j the community. Would we could corral j all the musicians in this fashion! They j might play the flute and sing the scales I as much as they wished. Ah. that flute! It is not so bad on a j warm spring day, but how it sets your i teeth on edge when the skies are cold and windy! The Point of View. Speaking of music. I shall never for get the experience of a friend of mine, a very proper old maid, at the opera. She was seated in the music lovers' gal-ie-y which means nea- the top of the house. Mme. s-chumann-l-Ieink was singing with her wonderful voice, and an oid man at my friend's left was sim ply in ecstasy. At the close he turned to her abruptly and said in accents of rapture. "A wonderful woman, a won derful woman!" My friend assented. "A wonderful woman!" he repeated in even more enthusiastic accepts. "And she has eight children!" The wp.v "And she. Jinx cioht children." r he put it left no doubt in his hearer's mind which he thought the more ad mirable achievement. She was so taken aback that she for got even to blush, but the old man nev er in the world noticed. His face was again turned toward the stage, his op era glass glued to his eyes, his whole being wra pped in admiration. After all, it is the point of view that caunts. SI lie.

SHOULD LOVERS TELL EACH OTHER'S SECRETS' It is a very delicate and important question to decide jujst what secrets of their previous lives an engaged man and woman are morally bound to tei; one another. How much easier it is foi the engaged man or woman who own! a"moi"e or jess 6:5&yreeoie" se'cre'Ctl simply keep silence on the matter than run the risk of a fatal interruption ti the course of true love by what may be perhaps, after all, a quite unnecessary revelation. Kven those who would fhemselve; make a complete disclosure of all theii own past and insist upon a similar con fession from their future partners even the most scrupulous in this re spect would probably be actuated hv motives of prudence rather than a lo of candor. However well a secret may be kep'. there is always a chance of its leakin out, and love is seldom blind enough t fail to see the advantage of not leaving the relation of even the most innocer.l episodes in one's past career to the ma lignant tongue of idle gossip. There are girls who exact a very gen erous measure of confidence from theii lovers on a variety of matters not al ways personal, and yet many have not discretion enough to keep safely the se crets with which they are unfortunate ly intrusted. Great consternation was recently caused among the relatives and friendi of a young business man who startler them all by suddenly breaking off h'-i engagement within a few weeks of th' date lixed for his wedding. A valuablt trade secret, to the inviolate preserva tion of which he owed nearly half his income, had in some mysterious way got to the knowledge and possession oi a rival in the same town. After many fruitless endeavors to fine oui- how his private affairs had beer betrnyed to the competitor in questior the unfortunate trader got on the righl track at last, and was no less painer. than astonished to trace the disclosun to his own fiancee. The fair culprit on being taxed witi her foolish indiscretion admitted hav ing mentioned what she then "though of no consequence" to a girl friend, bu of the importance of which she is now fully cognizant, having lost a lover anc gained a local reputation for a peculiai and extraordinary lack of commor sense. IN FAVOR OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE The following statement has beei signed by nearly all the United State senators and representatives in con gross from the four equal suffras-i states: We the undersigned senators and rep resentatives in congress from the fom states in which woman's enfranchise ni"nt has been tested declare, each foi his own state, that the experiment hai proved entirely satisfactory. Woman suffrage has resulted in nothing objec tionable and in much that is advan tageous to both the individual and the state. A WIFE'S QUESTION.

At 10 o'clock last niffht Ed Garvey took a position in front of the doors of Rowley Snow's drug store. Five min utes later Harley Reisman fejl into po sition behind him. When Fred Snow locked up at 11 o'clock four or five oth ers were there and Snow spread out the awning to protect them as much as pos sible from the rain in their all night vigil. They were forerunners of the band who were determined to get good seats for "The Crisis." in which James K. Hackett will appear at the New Craw ford Thursday night. Fifteen were on hand at midnight. Harry Steinberg showed up at 4 a. m. and got No. 30 when the draw came. When the chart was opened at 8 o'clock ISO numbers had been handed out, the Ttt rnirrir, for ary sale ths year for the theaters. Those who watched through the night took chairs from in front of the New Oxford hotel and passed the time by smoking, singing, telling stories an 1 making the best of their uncomfortable plight in the rain and cold. This morn ing there were many red eyes and flushed cheeks. Some of those who were hired by oth ers to stay in the line all night got J.2 for doing it. Others who got low Hum eri and did not have their full list of ten tickets made up charged 50 cents for each ticket they bought for late arriv als. One man paid ?5 for two seats in the front row of the balcony, the origi nal purchaser clearing $3 on the trans action. The desire to get the best seats caused the man to pay $3 premium, as he could have secured less desirable seats later. The rush was over at 10:30 o'clock and probably a third of the seats were left unsold. Prince of Sports a Bankrupt. Chicago, May 12. George V.

Adams, who returned thre weeks ago from Corea, where he has been for the past eight years, has been selected by the Alumni association of Washburn college to deliver the annual address before the Alumni association on Tuesday evening, June 9. Mr. Adams is a graduate of Wash burn in the class of 'SS, and he also served as an instructor at the college ia the department of mathematics. Mr. Adams' address will be of especial interest in view of the information which the speaker possesses concerning the Manchurian difficulty, now the cen ter of the world's attention. In conver sation with a reporter for the State Journal, Mr. Adams said today: "T have been located in the southern part of Corea, while Manchuria is in the extreme northern end of the peninsula, extending over on the mainland. Rus sia has been fishing for control in Corea for years, and it is well known that it wants to take possession of Manchuria if opportunity offers. Japan will cer tainly reist this effort, even at the cost of a war. "I believe that there will be a war over there before long. Some of the powers will almost certainly become in volved in strife and Japan is ready to fight at the drop of the hat. It is a question of vital importance to Jnpan that Russia should keep out of Man churia. It involves the very existence of Japan. "Japan could make a very hard fight while she lasted, but the trouble is that the Japanese nation is not a rich na tion. It is rather poor, as nations go, and its resources would soon be ex hausted. It has a formidable navy and army, and would probably-sweep things for a while. Rut in case of a prolonged war, it would be in a precaions siiua- -'.;.r; ujiil oL..t ii.-r.,.,' help it. "This is where England would come in. England anct Japan are openly al lied, and England would probably stand back of Japan with funds, if in no other way. "Diplomatic affairs receive much closer attention over there than they do here. There it is a part of our daily existence, and we are intensely interest ed in the conflict between the powers. Here people read the press dispatches, but understand fully that there is noth ing of personal interest at stake." Catholic Knights Convene. St. Louis, May 12.
