DROWNED IN CARS Passengers Are Trapped by Self-locking Doors. BUT FEW WOMEN ESCAPE special to the Washington Herald. Atlantic City, 'N. J. Oct. 8.—Out of eighty passengers on a Pennsylvania Rail. road electric train running from Cam den to this city over fifty-five were killed to-day, when the three cars making up the train hurled through an open draw bridge over the Thoroughfare, and were submerged in twenty feet of water. Lighty persons were known to have been on the train. Of this number twen ty-three were rescued. Twenty identified dead bodies have been taken to the moigues,: and three other corpses lie alongside them. The majority of the victims were Phila deiphiang off for a holiday.

It was the most horrible accident that Atlantic’ City has ever known, and one of the worst wrecks in the history of rail roading. Although the accident hap vened before 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, the exsct number of killed and injured cannot bg given with certainty, even at this laic hour, for the reason that the submerged cars cannot be entered until ihe tide goes out, and the’ dead are still ving there in heaps. Eighteen Dead Taken Out. The third ‘car was not: entirely sub merged, and cighiteen bodies have Leen TECOV that, because of the fact that the corpses have fluated through the broken windows and risen to the surface. Twelve are identified and six are un identified.

Eighteen injured have been taken care of at the Atlantic City Hospital and by private persons. Five other survivors have been accounted for. The rest of the cighty aboard the electric express are in all probably in the tangled heaps taroughh which the waters of the Thor cughfare arc gurgling. ‘So the estimate of fifty-five for the dead is believed to be conservative, and the fatalities way run as high as sixty. Train Planged Twenty Feet, The draw of the electric road over the Thoroughtare had been opened about half can hour before the express arrived to per rait an ill-fated yacht called the Sinbad, {0 pass. The Sinbad had been abandoned 4! sea LY her crew and was washed up on Fenwick Island shoals. Her owner {ound ler and was bringing her back.

Only the crew of the irzin, who knew the combination. could operate the handles, and even they could Jo nothing once the cars were sprung or bent. [It was these patent doors which gave rise to the belief that the cars were locked and prevented many escaping who might otherwise have done so. Adcording to the conductor's statement, thre “were seventy-seven persons on board, exclusive of the crew, making eighty souls. all told. Scott was taking his train through on time. ‘He was an aint motorman and had been working on the new third rall clectrie line ever since it replaced the Pennsyl vania- Railroad's West Jersey branch a month ago.

A few minutes before the electric ex press”was due, it had been opened to allow a small vessel to pass, and the watchman had closed it again. In so far as he could see, everything was clear for the ex press, but the rails had falled to Wgk. There was an aperture about the width of a man's thumb, a space just large enough to permit of the flanges of the wheels striking the outside instead of the inside of the rail.

As the rules require, he reduced his speed some whet, but the train was going at a rate which could not have been nfuch l2ss than forty miles an hour.

Threwna Of Their Feet. Then came a wrench that threw every passenger off his feet, au crash, a brief ‘sound of ripping as the wheels tore over the ties of the trestle, and then the first coach whirled off the side of the draw bridge, turning over as it went. Even in this extremity, Scott stuck to his controller and threw on the air brakes. Survivors say that they felt the grip of the iron shoes on the wheels, and the see ond and third cars slowed up. [f the couplings had let go, it is probable that only the first coach would have fallen off the bridge, but the couplings did not break. They held the train tegether firmly, and where ene car went the others had to fol jow. More slowly than its predecessor, the ‘second car reeled over into the thorough fare. The third car actually stopped for a moment on the brink, and the watchman and longcshoremen could see its occu pants struggling to get cut at the doors and windows before it, too, toppled over and dropped into the swirling tide of the Thoroughfare. Tide at Its Height. At that moment the tide, which was coming in strong, had almost reached Its maximum height, and there was about twenty feet of water in the channel The first two cars were submerged come pletely. but the rear end of the third ear, being in the shallows along une ‘west side of the Thoroughfare was raised above the surface. i

It was all over 1 css than ten sec ends. A human fortn shot head first above tlic surface of the water, and a man in a Hght overcoat, who had been thrown through a window in the sub merged forward end of the last car, struck out for the pier. Then came two more men and a boy. all ef them could swim but the little fellow, and one of the men nearest him, swam to his side and alded him to get to the wooden piles,

Then came a woman; then another, and another. The three women thrashed about wildly with their arms, and two of them disappeared twice, but the spirit of heroism was alive, and men, who were not yet sure of their own safety, went daringly to the rescue.

Atlantic City, N. J.. Oct. 3.—-A dozen heroes who risked their lives in the Thor ocughfare wreck will probably remain un known to fame, but tales of heroism are mixed with the tales of almost miraculous escapes, One of the heroes of the accident is Harry C. Deemer, of 29570 Reese street, Phitadeiphia, who, encased In bandages, tonight told of his narrow escape and his rescue of his wife. Deemer was in the last car when the crash occurred, and says. that every window was closed. "When the first car left the track.” he Says, “we felt the jar and saw the for ward car sway as it went over into the water. The second car followed in a flush, but our cars appeared to almost stop, and the passengers believed we would be saved. “In a moment, however, we felt our ear begin to sink, and a moment later we were dropping into the water. felt the car strike on the abutment and was thrown (rom the seat where I was sitting with my wife. I {ell into the water, but managed to get out and immediately thought of the window. Finds His Wife, “My first blow with my fist failed to break the windew, and I made a hole with a stroke of my elbow. TI was badiy cut in getting through. but I got out, and was able to Breathe. My first thought was for my wife.* 1 crawled along the car, breaking windows as went, until T heard her cry ‘Save me, Harry.’ “When I graspsd her arm she screamed, ‘Don’t Harry, It's Wroken:” but I kept on. and. with the help of another man, saved her.” Mr. and Mis. Deemer were taken to the Hotel Mervine, where it was found that the woman had sustained a fracturs of the shoulder and an injured spine. The mah was not serlously injured. Stories of the survivors from the last Car agree that Deemer’s breaking of the windows was responsible for the saving of half a score of lives, most of the band men crawling through the car windows James Curtis, the conductor of the train. was sitting in the second seat from the forward end. When he felt the jar as the wheels left the rails he kicked the glass out of a window, and as the car went over jumped through, pulling with him, as he did so his seat mate, a negro. Picked Up by Boatmen. They landed in the water and were picked up by a couple of boatmen who chanced to be only a short distance away when the train jumped the trestle, The negro was so frightened that he took to his heels as soon. as he could climb the trestic work, and his name could not be learnc.. David S. Emlri, of Camden. and Helen Gilbert, of Camden, the latter ‘eight years old, escaped from the front of the last car. Emiri pushed the girl to the roof so that she might breathe through the ventilators while the car was filling with water. Then he struggled until he got a window up through which he made his way and pulled the girl ater him. i He swam to the surface and was picked up by a boat. The men in the boat told Emlri they had saved a young woman about nine teen Years old, wuo had also made her escape Ire {he car. Drowned Before Rescuers. Une of the most «wstiessing incigen's of the wreck was that of a man who got caught in a window of the third car and was drowned by the rising tide before his would-be rescuers could ge: Call and see what others say, Not what we say.

Little by Httle the water rose wath] it gurgled in the man’s mouth, and k#*drowned with his eyes abeve the sur face, while hundreds of men looked on sick at heart.

Diver Tells Terrible Story. John Cooney, the diver, who had been down in a defeetive diving suit, begide the submerged cars time after time, brought up naught but a heart-rending story of what he saw below. Rough and ‘hardened man as he is, tears were streaming down his cheeks, and his voice was broken with sobs, as he came up for the last time and removed the rubber ‘helmet from his head.

“My God, people” he said, “they are lying down there by dozens and dozens, al! jammed together dead. They did not have second’s chance for their lives. I could anly get a look at the first car, “Up in front of that there's about twenty or thirty peeople al’ In a bunch. The body of a man inuniform-he must have been the motorman—is sort of Lelf float ing and half resting on one of these brass hat rack things along the upper part of one of the sides of the car. Dead Mother Clutches Dead Baby. “There's one woman with her baby right up against her breast, tight as she could get it. The two bodies were lying across a seat. “And saw a baby with a big cut an its little cheek: its body came kind of bumping dnd bumping against the win dow as 1 was looking through as if it was asking me to take it out. Can De Nothing. “Uen, do not ask me ‘0 tell you any more about ft. I can't. It's too awful It's worse than hell down there. And could not do anything. All I've got is this leaky old rubber diving suit and a beer pump rigged up to give me air.” It is a marvel that Cooney did not lose his own life down in the cold ealt water, with the swift tide runniag him and only a slim, rickety tube to give him air. Other divers have been telegraphed for froin Philadelphia and New York, but they wili not be able to do much work until daylight, and there is no hope of raising the cars or recovering most of the dead unti] thelr arrival Incidents of the Rescue. Down the stream, a couple of hundred yerds, were two #kiffs filled with late fishermen, a motor boat or two were chugging along at a greater distance. while far away were a dozen or more lit tie yachts of the type which sail about these inland waters, As Soon as the oc cupants of these craft could believe their eyes, could realize that this was not some horrid daylight dream, this awful spec tacle which, without a =eund of warn ing, had come across thelr vision In a few seconds, they made for the rescue. Railroad men and resiGents of the few Louses near the Thyroughfare who also had seen that suddeie ‘nge and that big ghastly wove, jun 0 pe dixoridgs and sped across its periloie ledgth. They grabbed up ropes and poles as they ran. All these men got te work instantly. Some clamored over the edge of the third car and by sheer strength hauled up the half exhausted passengers from within. Others let down their ropes and poles, still others rowed ashbout and picked up an occasional form that wounid suddenly appear above the surface. In this man ner perhaps twenty-five or thirty were saved. Every one was from the last car. But dread invisibility of those two forward cars, the absence of a trace or sound from them—it was horrible, ghastly, and stupefying, Rescuers Are Overcome, But there were traces for just a few seconds, Little bubbles would rise to the surface of the salt arm of the sea and break. The rescuers knew what that meant and sickened at the gight. Every bubble was a bit of precious air from the lungs of some of those doomed men and women away down thére at the bot tom, penned in like rats in a trap dying, choking, smothering for a breath. In 2 short time every one still alive had been hauled out to safety, eovered wiih blankets aud overcoats, and rushed to hospitals and places of refuge.

i New York, Oct. 22. —As the last week cf the campaign draws near [t becomes pore and more apparent that Hearst is directing all his forces to eazpturing the entire so-calied labor vote—Democratic and Republican. It lcoks as if he is mak ing a great success of the movement, If he ‘had to depend upon straight Demo cratic votes exciusively there is not the slightest doubt that he wouid be buried re a mountain of votes, for the 8§o called old line Democrats are as bitter E ever against him, and the number of them who say publicly every day that they won't support kim on the ground that he is not a Democrat is very large. These statements of backsliders come from every county in the State, and the total is significant in view of the fact that party men, as a rule, who are going to bolt refuse to let it be ¥nown how ther stand. In this case, however, thou sands of Democrats, most of them in high standing in their communities, have not hesitated in denouncing Hearst publicly, declaring that they will support Hughes. Labor Move Succeeds, Meanwhile, the hope of the Hearst managers is (0 more than offset this de fection with votes of workingmen who supported both McKinley and Roosevelt, and there are signs everywhere that the movement is succeeding. A statement in these dispatches lasy week that a poll of a manufacturing plant up State, that employs ncarly 15,000 men, showed only 178 for Hughes was thought to be an error. It was thought that the number of men employed must be 1,500, instead of 15,00, on account of the smallness «of the Hughes vote indicated. But the fis ures were correct, and they were fur nished by one of the highest officials ef the corporation, whe did net want the name of the company published. This Is merely a straw—: pretty big one —that indicates the way the wind is blow ing in labor circles. Reports have come from many manufacturing towns of Hearst's great and growing strength among union volers. He has devoted more of his time to campaigning vo-Statle; and ie effects of 41s work are plainly vis ible in such cities as Watertown, Ogdens burg, Syracuse, Amsterdam, Schenectady, and Troy. where there are large manufac turing interests. And, strangest of all, Albany, where there is scarcely any man ufacturing, gave him the largest and most enthusiastic reception of the whole tour. Popular as Ever. Here in this city, too, his reception upon the platform during the past week would indicate that he has lost very little of his old-time popularity with the masses in Manhattan and the Bronx. Moreover, since the matter of local nominations has been settled by the courts in favor of Tam many, the Wigwam has cheered up won derfully, and is going to make the last week of the campaign a memorable one. Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tam many Hall; Norman E, Mack, the Demo cratic member from New York of the na tional committee, and Chalrman W. J. Connors, of the Democratic State com mittee, have all publicly declared their belief that Hearst will be elected, but give no figures. The high lights of the Republican party, including President Roosevelt, Chairman Woodruff. of the State committee, and Herbert Parsons, chairman of the county committee, are jus{i as confident that Hughes will win, but the figures of this side are being held back, too. It is known, however, that some reports that have been received from counties up-State are any thing Lut reassuring. Reports from other counties are more cheerful, especially in the rural regions, where the farmers show no signs of going over to Hearst.

Little Money Being Spent. In spite of all the stories to the con trary. very little money is being spent on either side, for the simple reason that they have not got it. The Democratic or ganization up-State has not had any pat ronage for a dozen years or more, and, as "most of Its wealthy members have bolted Hearst, the treasury of the party is empty. Mr. Hearst fs a rich man. of course. but those who Know declare he is not throw. ing any money away, and that those who fondly hoped to tap his barrel have been greatly disappointed.

Owing to the fact that the law in this State now prohibits corporations {rom contributing to campaign funds, the Re publican campaign chest is pretty low. too. the State committee having no such sums as they got before the law was passed last winter Thelr poverty may reduce the farmer vote, which has ai ways stood by them, for this year there will be no funds te speak of to expend vn bringing the farmers to the polls. Hughes Busy Up<State Also, Like Mr. Hearst, Mr. Hughes iz devot ing practically all his time to campaign ing up the State He makes many speeches every day. and he Is getting a warm reception everywhere. The greatest hit he has made is by showing up Mr. Hearst's political insincerity, and by pointing out the fact that, while- Mr. Hearst is posing as a foe of corporations, he is the boss of several big corporations himself, one of them a holding company, whieh, Mr. Hughes asserts, was organ ized by Mr. Hearst in New Jersey for the purpose of avoiding taxation and liability in damage suits. To the direct charges, which Mr. Hughes backed up by official records, Mr. Hearst has he no reply, except to say Mr. Hughes is a corpora tion lawyer, and that the trusts will run the government if he is elected.

Mr. Hearst seems to be sensitive to newspaper criticisms, although he has in dulged in them to a large extent in his own publications at the expease of the Democrats and Republicans who oppose ICIS pasa sur Ja POIs hers whe prays Murphy. the leader of Tam CONTINUED oN THIRD PAGE. a aa oe J.

"Of course I want to sec Hearst elee ted,” said Mr, Bryan, “but all I know about the prospects is what 1 have geen in the newspapers. 1 would feel that I might tell how things are going, even at this distance, if the ncwspapers Would only agree. At present they are about as far apart as the forecasts of the rival campaign committees the night before election.” “Do you think the election of Hearst would make him a Presidential candi date in 19987" the Nebraskan was asked. “Well,” besitated Mr. Bryan, "I believe in fighting onc battle at a time. The wiscs* enurse is to dispose of this contest first sad then go on and take up the othe: one later.

But I don't know how an indication eof public sentiment on the subject could be obtained at this time.” Mr. Bryan was then told of Senator Tillman's remark that he had found a good many Republicans in the West who confessed they would like to vote for the Nebraskan in 1%8, provided President Roosevelt! should not be a candidate. “Well, that shows the trend of thought in the last ten years,” commented Mr. Bryan. “In the campaigns of 13% and 190 1 did not discuss the government ownership of rallways. Now we find a Republican President actually wiscussing a subject which was not mentioned by the Democratic eandidate ten and six years ago.

Overgrown Fortunes, “Then there is the question of limit. ing the size of fortunes. The people are beginning te see that great fortunes could not have been acquired honestly— I mean honestly in the broad sense of that word. Why, look at this story about Capt.

But if he should work for that sal ary for fifty years. he would receive only $5,000.60. That is a high price for a man’s work, and yet it is only a drop in the bucket compared with the fortunes of $100,000.00 and more which many men acquire in a fraction of this period. There is only cne conclusion, and that 1 that the greater part of rich men's fortunes was untairly acquired.”

New York, Oct. 28.—Andrew Carnegie came home to-day on the White Star steamer Celtic, an enthusiastic supporter of the candidacy of Mr. Hughes and a firm believer that the spelling reform ‘would progress rapidly now that it had the unsought indorsement of the Presi” dent.

The first question Mr. Carnegie asked the reporters that met him at quaran tine was:

“What is the betting on the election?” When he was told that it was 3 to 1 against Hearst he said: “It is-a good thing that it is, This is not a usual contest. It is not a party contest; it is a contest of the best peo ple against the worst—a contest against a man who sceks the office and in faver of a man the office sought.” Not for President to Decide. Mr. Carnegie was asked if he thought Mr. Roosevelt might run for another term. In reply he said that he thought it a question on which the President would perhaps have nothing to say. There was one contingency which the Presi dent would be in duly «ound to respect. “Suppose,” said Mr. Carnegie, *that ‘the Republican convention resolves that there shall be no other standard bearer, nominates the President, and then ad journs. There would arise this contin gency. If the President failed to re spond, in the opinion of all who believe that the triumph of the Republican party is best for the land, he would be zd judged recreant to his country.” Defends Reformed Spelling. Here Mr. Carnegie ceased to discuss pol itics, and got on the question of spelling reform. “A strange feature of the reform,” said he, “is that every phiiologist and man who can be counted an authority is for re form. Of course there are always cranks who want to make big ripples iu the stream by oppesing. J have met the leading philologists of Great Britain ané they assure m= that it must be admitted that no language in the civilized work? je in such a deplorzble condition as our own. The 3% words selected bv the spelling board are but a beginning.” Mr. Carnegie expressed the opinion that the present boom in business would coun tinue. Young Clerk's Infatuantion for Older Woman Makes Tragedy. New York, Oct. 28.—Louis R. Brown, an excitable young clerk, spent the greater part of to-day pleading with Miss Laura Osten, a nursery governess, to marry him. She is somewhat older than he, and she told the young man on various occasions that he should not be silly, and that he should forget about her. After being told by the girl many times that she woull not marry him, young Brown shot her while riding in a coupe up Broadway shortly before 3 o'clock to night. The coupe was just at Fiftysee ond street at the time, The girl is in Roosevelt Hospital with a bullet in her head and her condition is critical. Brown, who is twenty-one years of ago and lived at 77 Mitchell place, East Orange, N. J., met the young woman ebout a year ago. The young man worked as a stock clerk at the brokerage firm of F. S. Moseley Co. at 68 Broadway. PLEASED WITH UP-STATE TRIP. Hughes Sgys Support of Gld Line Demoerats Is Significant, Dansville, N. Y., Oct. 2X. —Charles E. Hughes had a full day's rest at the Jack scn Health Resori, where there are al most as many "no talking here” signs as there are words in an ordinary campaign speech. Mr. Hughes during his stay here, is the guest of Job E. Hedges, who has been a member of the candidate's staff of speakers ever since the campaign be gan. Mr. Hughes is wcll pleased with his week's (rip up-State. He sald to-day: “We have had a week of excellent meetings. There have been evidences all along the line of greatly increasing inter est. The frank, cordial support we are receiving from old-line Democrats con tinues to be the most significant feature of the campaign. While there is every reason for encouragement, we must take nothing for granted and leave nothing un done to insure success.”

Thus far about 15 per cent of the ontire vete of each company has been cast in the form of official ballots sent Re oe oF the companies. This is entirely independent of the ballots that have been sent to the Hon.

“Policy holders must not allow them selves to be misled by the boastful state ments of paid employes canvassing for the administration tickets, If the entire vole cast at the home offices of the com panies in the first nine days of this elec tion is credited to the administration tickets, it would represent less than twoe thirds of one vote per day secured by each of the paid employes who are elec tioneering at the policy holders’ expense to defeat the policy holders’ candidates.

It is for the policy holders to say whether they shall assume control of their own property and take the two coms panies out of Wall street, or whether they shall be misled by the literature with which they are being deluged by the present management of the cumpanies. The money wo pay for this literature comes out of the policy holders’ puckeds.

We were afraid that they would not un derstand the complications of the voting laws. The only fear now is that the policy houders become inert and not vote, or that thousands of paid employes of the companies, who aré ying to take this eleciion away from the policy hold ors, will succeed in misleading them.”

People came running from everywhere, some because they feared they had friends or relatives in the train, others because of desire to help, and others merely be cause they were filled with the wild ter ror that held Atlantic City by the tlroat. There was sobbing and ringing of hands in the streets, dinner tables were deserted Servants rushed out with their masters. Island in Hysteries, A few early afternoon Sunday schools were dismissed, or, rather, they ceased to exist because every one present ran out of the churches and headed for the Thor oughfare. Hotels were deserted; private houses stood open to any thief who might care to enter. The whole island was in hysterics The Pennsylvania Railroad station at Tennessee avenue was like a madhouse. A man actually broke through the gates in the hope of getting some word from a relative or friend whom they believed to be in the wrecked train. “I want my wife and my daughter!” he shrieked when the guard tried to stop him. Scenes Are Hearirending. Women (f{ainted and lay where they fell. in many instances because there was no ons to look after them. The same scenes were enacted at the Read ing Station. in Arkansas avenue, and they were magnified at the station of the electric railroad in Tennessee avenue, where the crush at the gates was simply overwhelming. patched to the wreck. Ambulances flaw Delivery wagons and private carriages At police headquarters another throng gathered to witness the arrival of dead and injured, while hundreds of people crowded into the telegraph and railroad offices, trying to get messages through to Philadelphia and surrounding cities, from which visitors to ine seashore resort were expected on the early afternoon trains. Scenes at the hospital and at the dif ferent undertaking establishments were the most pitiful ever witnessed, the heartrending cries of men and women as they looked into the faces of their dead relatives bringing tears to the eyes of these men who are often brought face to face with danger and death. The cerriders at city hall were crowd ed by people who awaited the reading of the names of the dead and injured. From all parts of the e¢ity telephone calls advised the police that homes were being thrown open for the care of the injured, and everything possible was aone to alleviate their sufferings. i Dr. William Thompson, of the Atlantic City Hospital, summoned all his doctors and nugses, @nd teld them that the wo p 0 Atlantic City had ever seen had just happened, 2nd that they must be prepared for heroic work. Miss E. B, Beitel, the chief nurse, was as signed to go through the wards and in form the patients of what had taken piace, They seemed to forget their own aches ‘and pains and talked encouragingly to f the nurses while they were being removed to the private rooms in order that the main wards might be cleared for the wreck vietims. Meanwhile, 1,000 men were working at the scene of the wreck. Some swam out inte the Thoroughfare, not that they could be of any service, but simply be ‘cause they had to be doing something. i Spectators Are Bereft. Others ran up and down the banks shouting or crying like persons berefi ef reason. The appearance of a dripping body or a bedraggled surviver would con vulse the whole throng. Sr 3

Passengers in the first two cars had nc time to realize their danger. They were caught like rats and drowned. i About half a dozen were thrown against windows with force enough to smash the glass, and managed to get through. When the first rescuers arrived on the scene these were seen to be floating or hanging on to wreckage, Men in boats went to their rescue at once, but were unable to reach all, and two at least went down before help reach i ed them. The gasping, screaming survivors were hurried (0 the hospital as quickly as pos sible. Most of the rescued will live. One woman, who was bruised and cut, was i pulled out of the front car, but died before she reached the hospital. Musicians in Rear Car. Incent Bonivle, another survivor pick ed up by the first relay of rescuers, also died from his injuries later in the even ing.

In the light of acetylene automobile lamps, electric search-lights and locomotive headlights, there are 200 men in the small boats, grappling for bodies that may possibly be swept out of the cars with oyster tongs and heavy fish lines, Experts Not Surprised, The catastrophe, while it depressed and shocked everybody, was not a great sur prise to railroad men acquainted with the condition of affairs on the iine. It is a significant fact that Walter Scott, motorman of the wrecked train, had a quarrel with his father and mother this morning before he startea on the trip, the father. who is an ola fireman, ingisting that the {rains run over the electric railway were not safe, and that they were sure to come to grief sooner or later. Mrs. Scott hung on to her son's neck and begged him not to take the train out, but the young man brushed her aside and said: at's all forlishpess. The trains are safe enough to suit me. and I'm going to take this one to the shore.” Conductor James Curtis says he Yay 2 no idea what caused the accident. By some the blame for the accident is placed upon the shoulders of Daniel Steward, the old man who opens and closes the draw n the bridge. ‘The rails of the tracks are ar ranged in such a way that when the mech anism is attuned to open the draw, they raise about four inches, and then the bridge swings on 2a pivot.

Steward's Story Disputed, The draw had been opened some time before the train was due, Steward says about half an hour. He declared that when he closed the draw the rails settied back into tneir place, and he gave the on coming train the signal for a clear road. This is disputed by the railroad officials. An examination made of the ends of the rails showed that when they were Fepposes to have settled back into place they bent and twisted. Pleces are chipped j oft the ends, showing they must have been raised up to a distance of between two and four inches when the train hit them running at full speed. Railroad men are of the opinion that it was the rails not being in place that caused the forward car to be derailad and plunge over ihe side, pulling the othe: two cars after it TWENTY-THREE ARE ALIVE.

DUPLICATES HOUDINI'S TRICK Prof. Maurice Joyce Entertains Big Crowd at the Columbia. Escaped from Box and Faper Bag and Esplains How One 1llu sion Is Worked. Béfore an audience which completely filed the Columbia Theater Iast night, Prof, Maurice Joyce, a well-known teach er of physical culture, performed and ex posed a box and paper bag trick very similar in outside appearance to those ‘which lately created so much interest ‘when performed by Houdini In his preliminary remarks Prof. Joyee stated that the tricks which he displayed were very old, an. had been known to him for thirty years, and between the acts he discour on and gave a short exposition of physical culture, and this, he intimated, was his main object In appearing before the public in the role of box opener. The bag trick, as explained by Prof. Joyce, consists in having the bag made three fold: the performer tearing his way through one layer of paper and then trimming the fragments aw:'y with a pair of scissors, thus leaving tae bag intact to all appearances, the exposer claiming that escape from a soiled bag without resorting 19 this or some other trick, was beyond human capability. The “box trick, he claimed, is done by means of collusion, with the carpenter, and simply consig pt a siding panel skilfully arrangeddn the s'de of tne box. In the performance of the behind the curtain Prof. Joyce used the theatrical effects of remaining in the cabinet for thirty and twelve minutes, respectively, when in reality he was on the outside of eac! receptacle in a few seconds. Mr. Joyce was questioned bLy several persons in the audience, and he dis cliimed any intention of exposing Hou dini tricks in particular, but sald ne would perform ana expose some iliu sions that had been known for many Vears TWO DEAD; TWENTY INJURED Explosion Wrecks Business Block at Coffeyville, Kans.

It ie possibie, they say, that he may con tract blood poisoning through the wound. The bones of the nose were driven through his cheek,; he is suffering intense pain, and it is probable that he may be dis figured for life. It is improbable that of ficial action in the matter will be taken by the members of the Georgetown faculty. They stated that they haye received no news of the trouble other than that which was published in yesterday's papers.

Slattery, it is stated, will forfeit his col lateral of $10 which he deposited at the station house for his appearance in the Police Court this morning. The members of the class of 199 will hold a meeting to-night to discuss the ad visability of retaining counsel to prosecute the officer before the courts and the police ‘trial board. The students say that Slat tery is innocent of any wrongdoing, and that he was over six feet away from the officer at the time the latter claims he was struck by Slattery.

FARLEY Cablegram from Rome Says Such Action Is Not Contemplated. Message Comes to Washington from Prelate in Close Touch with the Vatican. The following cablegram reached a member of the faculty at the Ca bolic University yesierday, in 1esponse to a re quest fer information in regard to the probability of the Archbishop of New York being made a cardinal deacon. “Rome, Oct. 2I.—The rumor that the Archbishop of New York, Mgr. Farley, is to be made a cardinal at the next consis tory ie denied here by a prelate very near to the Holy Father and friend of Mgr. Farley.” “The rumors,” said the Washington man, “pain the Archbishop of New York, who is the m.st modest of men, “There will be no cardinal created for ihe Atlantic coast as long as Cardinal Gibbous lives, and it is most improbabie that another cardinai will be created in the West. “If the concensus of curial opinion could be made just at present, Archbishop O'Connell, of Boston, would be the re cipient of the red hat. He is in high favor with his Eminence Merry dei Val and the Holy Father, but no new car dinal will be made. Archbishop Farley made a deep impression on the Holy Father at hi: last visit, and knowledge of this act has set the cardinilate rumor afloat in Rome. “Another prelate who is in high favor is Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago, of whom Plus X speaks most kindly. Not long ago, in a conversation, Mgr. Merry del Val while praising the loyalty of the church in the United States, suggested that the claims of Canada to a Yed hat might be considered feeble.” ALASKA'S DELEGATE ARRIVES First Representative from Goid Land 1 a Modest Fellow. Frank H. Waskey, the first delegate of Alaska to the Nationai Congress, has arrived in Washington to learn the ropes before the House meets. Mr. Waskey is a husky, modest look ing young fellow, with an earnest way about him. His home is at Nome, up near the arctic circle, and if Congress hadn't fixed it otherwise he would re ceive the largest amount of mileage morniey ever paid a member of the House, more even than Prince Jonah, the Hawaiian delegate. But Congress put a clause into the Alaska delegate law, pro viding that the delegate from the Terri tory should be paid only his actual ex penses {rom Alaska to Seattle, and the regular mileage from Seattle to Wash ington.

Mr. Waskey was elected on. a non partisan ticket. The Republicans ang the Democrats nominated cand.dai-s for delegates, but the miners decided they didn’t want any stereotyped politics in theirs, and put a ticket of their own in the field. It was triumphantly elected. Mr. Waskey is to serve for the remainder of the Fifty-ninth or present Congress, and another miner, Thomas Cale, of Fair banks, for the Sixtieth Congress. There isn't anyining about Mr. Waskey to suggest the wild Western. He is just good-looking, straightforward, young American, and does not tuck his trousers down in his boots, or wear a red flanne! spirt. He isn't going to try to reform things in Congress, but wants to learn as much as he can in the few months that he wiil be un public life. He went to Alaska {rom Minnesota in 1508.

The Washington Saengerbund, whose guests the Vienna millioneires will be while in this city, has received a letter from the Vienna society accepting the invitation of the Washington society to be thelr guests. An elaborate programme for the entertainment of the distinguished vigitors is contemplated.

This most remarkable of all vocal or ganizations in the world last summer sang before King Edward of England and London audiences went en masse to be sung to by millionaire throats, whose owners’ aggregate wealth was something

ike $300,000,000. Waen in England, King Edward was a delighted listener to their music, and Queen Alexandra herself cali ed for several encores. Many Are Composers, Though it is strange that this woader ful choir should largely be composed of millionaires, it is stranger still that they really can sing. Every member is a per fectly trained musician; in fact, nearly every one is a composer. No one—no matter how much money he might command—can become a member of the Vieana choral society unless he be la genuine musician. Bach person, be fore being admitted to membership, must pass a rigid preliminary examination and pndergo the most difficult musical tests,

£ven when the late Herr Krupp, whose daughter got married two weeks ago, wished to join the choir—with which he was associated for many years—his vast wealth played little part in his accept. ance by the committee of selection. He always was onc of the most assiduous and hard-working members of this so ciety, and it was his splendid loyally and enthusiasm that placed the choir where it is to-day. They have for many Years devoted particular attention to the cultivation of church music. Every summer they give public concerts in the Vienna parks, and, besides these entertainments—stipulated for In the statutes of the organization— ‘they give many other recitals. They al ready have performed in grand concerts {775 times, to say nothing of the hundreds of other appearances of a minor charae iter. A position in the famous choral so ¢lety is considered a great honor on the continent, and several members of the Austrian Parliament are among its mem bers. Sings Before Kings, So much distinction has the choir won that the Emperor of Austria has often “commanded” it to sing before him, and on all state and municipzl cccasions its {services are requisitioned. At the invita tion of Prince Metternich some years age, the choir sang before the Duchess of kent, mother of the late Queen Victoria, land in 1867 they were invited to assist jat the musical festival on the occasion of [a visit from Napoleen III to Austria. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ichoir Emperor Francig Joseph presented it a magnificent banner, inscribed in letters of gold: “Franz Josef Zum Wiener Maennergesang Verein.” On the fiftieth {enniversary of the choir a wonderful musical pageant was held in honor of the company. This was attended by the Em peror of Austria, the King of Saxcny, and Feb roval notabilities, while delegates from musical societies from all parts of the world attended the ceremonies. A noteworthy feature of the organization is the fact that all the money they make in ali their various concerts is devoted tc i charitable purposes. They already have i contributed over $350.80¢ to hospitals, Founded in 1843. This organization was founded in 1543 the idea originating with Dr. Augus Schmidt, one of the best known musica editors and critics in Europe. Beginning with only thirty members, the choir soor attracted Lhe attention of musician: throughout Europe, and many f{amout composers joined its ranks. So high wa the standard of excelience that the choi soon won for itself recognition from the most distinguished composers of the day Schumann, Meyerbeer, Mendelssohr, Liszt Wagner, Bruckner, Johan Strauss, an other famous musiciang have actually 1 dedicated certain of their compositions the choir. Several of these composers were honorary members of the society of singing millionaires. One of the most important works under taken by the cheir has been the per petuation of the memory of famous cofn posers. In the “Stadtpark,” or principal park of Vienna, the choir erected ir 1872, a magnificent marble monument to Franz Schuosert; and the Schubert medal also was founded for the purpose cf en couraging male choral music. Worth £300.000,000. The following is a list of some of the most prominent members, who will enjoy the Saengerbund's hospitality, and the amounts of their fortunes: M. C. Kalafati, race horse owner, $16,000,000; Herr Moser, portrait painter, $10,000,000; Herr Antropp, financier, 8.500000; Herr Schneiderhokn, straw hat maker, $8,500,000; Herr Engel hardt, inventor, $6500,000; Herr Dusch nitz, ropemaker, $6,250,000; Count Mens dorff, $5,750,000; Herr Herreafeld, pape: manufacturer, 5.500.000; Herr von Leon: hardt, baker, $5,000,000; Prince Schvenberg. feudal lord, $5,000,000; Herr Ehrlich, $4,000 (LLIN Mr, John Waldman, the president of the Saengerbund, and its members, are highls elated over their success in securing the Maennerchor's acceptance of the invita. {tion of the Washington Saengerbund.

MRS. EDDY'S MALADY Said to Be a Sufferer from Shaking Palsy. CLAIMED NURSE TOOK DRIVES Feception, it Is Reported, Wax Made to Prevent Undue Alarm. Fortune of Woman Alleged to Have Been Greatly Overestimated. Is Invested in Governments Bonds. New York, Oct. 28.-The Christian Science publication committees were busy to-night sending out denials of the state ment published in the World on Sunday that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the leader of the church, is dying of cancer at Con cord, N. H., and that her place in her pub lic appearance in carriage drives is being taken by Mrs. Parmelia G. Leonard, of Brooklyn, as a substitute.

1 A

The statement also concerned itself with the probable disposition of her fortune, which was placed at $15,000,000. A i j i the It was declared Mrs. Eddy is not sick, as is set forth, and that she is not being kept in close seclusion. The charge was made that a substitute was being sent out, sO that if Mrs. Eddy really were sick, her failure to take her daily drive should not cause comment.

ig mat- 1

Said She Has Shaking Palsy. There has been some discussion as to whether it would be permitted to come out should Mrs. Eddy die, as it has been said that the news of her death would go a great way toward breaking the hold the Church of Christian Scientists has ob tained. i As far as the facts can be learned, Mrs. Eddy, who for three years has been in seclusion in her home in Concord, is not a sufferer from cancer. This is a disease that carried off six members of her fam ily, and tor that reason it was deemed likely that she might be suffering from it. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Eddy has been a sufferer from shaking palsy for a long while, and as she is about eighty five years of age is not considered to be in good health. One of the representa tives of the church in Pennsylvania said to-day he had visited Mrs. Eddy's home about three weeks ago, and that at that time she was “hale and hearty.” y

Say Fortune Is Overestimated.

Further than that this representative declared that Mrs. Leonard's son had made the positive statement that his mother never had ridden in Mrs. Eddy's carriage. It is known that on occasion Mrs. Eddy has had attacks which Kept her indoors, and that some person, pre sumably a nurse, had been sent out in her place to take a drive, with the idea of averting any cuspicion that might be aroused if Mrs. Eddy’s carriage did not go out at its regular hour. -_— j

The matter of Mrs. Eddy’s fortune and ithe disposal of it, a subject which has cused considerable discussion, is based on false estimates, as far as can be learned. About 35,000 copies of Mrs. Ed dy’'s book. “Science and Health,” have been published, and the proceeds from this are figured at about $150,000. The popular cstimate of the Eddy fortune has been abcut ten times that sum. The money is invested for the most part in government bonds. i

While Mrs. Eddy Was Driving. Boston, Oct. 23.—~In a statement issued by Calvin Frey, for twenty years Mrs. Ed dy’s secretary, the story in a New York paper to the effect that the leader of the Christian Scientists, Rev. Mary Baker ¥ddy, by reason of afflictions is unable to leave her home and is therefore being im personated by Mrs. Leonard, of New York, is emphatically denied. He says: dina

“Mss. Eddy, as she herself wrote to the Boston Herald on October 19,.196, is in her usudl good health.

SAYS MRS. EDDY IS WELL. Washington Wember of the Chureh Receives Telegram from Beeston. i

Christian Scientists in Washington—and they number many sincere and substan tial people—declare that the New® York World's story regarding Mrs. Eddy. the head of the church, is wholly deveid of tyuth. The World devoted several cl umns in its Sunday issue to the subject of Mrs. Eddy’s ill-health, her vast wealth, &c. Scientists here say that a careful reading of the stories shows that on their face they are obviously false and boon of sensationalism.

Wh knows Mrs. Eddy better, it will love her more, and find her to be one of the best, noble-minded persons on this planet.”

Mr. Norwood said that such stcries, as the New York paper now prints are put out at varying periods, and are all of the same tenor and presumably. from the same source. Mrs. Eddy occasionally, he said, grants a few minutes Inter view to a representative of the press in order to refute the stories that she is sick unto death or dying. It is because of her advanced vears, he added, and the value of time te her to complete the writings she is engaged upon that she is compelled to deny .erself to vis itors as a rule. She is past eighty years old. "Not long agp a dispatch from Chicago stated that Mrs, Eddy's daughter had been operated upon theré or in Cincin nati for cancer. Referring to this Mr. Norwood said:

Following is the letter sent out by Mr. Belmont: i “There was manifested at the last ses sion of Congress a prevailing opinion upon both sides of the House, as well as on both sides of the Senate chamber, in favor of the principle of publicity in regard to campaign funds, although the proposed publicity bill did not reach final action. Believing that you approved such a %aw, the executive committee of the National Publicity Law Organization. which in cludes in its membership governors of vemocratic and Republican States, presi dents of all our great universities, repre sentatives of organized labor, and mem hers of the Republican and Democratic National Committees, has authorized me to address you, and to suggest that at a reasenable date after the pending Con gressional election, you make public the receipts and expenditures of your com mittee.

“I am also requested to call your atten tion to the fact that there are publicity laws existing in a number of the States, and that your voluntary action, upon the suggestion of our organization, would be a most important aid in rendering such laws effective and in securing the publica tion of campaign contributions and expen ditures.”’ RESCUES FIVE FROM BLAZE Fireman Carries Woman and Two Children Down Ladder. Also Helps Two Men to Safety After Smashing Doors that Kept Them Prisoners in Burning House. New York, Oct. 28.—A thrilling rescue of three men, a woman, and two tiny children marked a fire that broke out in the cellar of 32 Rivington street to-night Policeman Friedlander rushed into the house and routed out the various familics, driving those on the lower floors into the street and the others to the roofs of adjoining tenements. All got out in safety with the exception of Frederick Narrcotte, his two male boarders, and his wife and their three children. They tried to get out, but the door of their house jammed, and when the firemen arnved they were screaming and threatening to jump from the windows. Foreman John L. Roth threw a ladder up against the window and to the flat ad joining, and after getting into this smash ed down the intervening doors, sand brought the party out.

He sent the men to the street abead of him, and carried Mrs. Narrcotte and the two children down the ladder. Another rescue was that of Mrs. Bessie Weintraub, who had given birth to a child early this morning. She was in the rear of the building on the ground floor und within a few feet of the fire. She was feeble and unable to move. Her screams were heard by Harry Berkeff, whese tailor shop is next door, and he rushed through the smcke to her assist ance. She and her baby were carried (0 safely without injury to either. in the tenement house on Rivington street, and the adjoining building at 165 Forsythe street, which also filled with smoke, there live fully forty families, Jewish and Italian.

3 SEATS IN CONGRESS Republican Majority Likely to Be Materially Reduced. DEMOCRATS AGAIN MIXED UP Their Prospects Looked Decidedly Promising Three Months Age, with Tariff Reform as the Slogan, but Strange Issues Have Been Injected Into Campaign—Party at Sea Again,

O. Stealey, in Louisville Courler-Journal. There is the usual speculation here as to the control of the next House of Rep resentatives. As the Republicans now have a majority of 114 in the House, it ‘seems hardly possible that they would lose control of that body. This large ma jority, however, was obtained by the great Roosevelt tidal wave that swept ‘over the country two years ago, and it overwhelmed the few resolute Democrats ‘who stood up and made a fight for their party. In‘this Waterloo for the Demo crats there were many reasons why they were swept down and out, which are un necessary to enumerate. It is sufficient to say that of the many causes leading to the slaughter of the innocents only a few now exist, and there are excel lent reasons to believe that the Demo cratic party, with the ald of organized labor, will show up better at the polls Tuesday a week than it did in 1504, and perhaps as well as it did in 1992. In order, therefore, to get a line on the coming elections, with a view of arriving at an intelligent opinion as to the outcome. it is proper to make comparison with the Congressional election of four years ago. It ie hardly probable though that the opposition to the Republican party is as strong this year as it was in 1302. This is owing largely to the great per sonal popularity of the President, and the inability of the Democrats to present a united front on great economic gqes tions. The masses of the Democratic party are all right, but the trouble for the past decade has been that the Demo cratic leaders, or would-be leaders, have failed to agree on questions affecting the best interests of the people.

f

i Demoralized by Strange Issues. Three months ago the signs in the $olitical sky were encouraging to the Democrats. They believed they could en ter the campaign this year on the great question of tariff refcrm, against the out rageous!y Dingley high tariff law. Mr. Roosevelt had robbed them of absolute iy everything else. He had stolen bodily all the important planks from the Demo cratic platforms of 188, 190, and 1804, re lating to trusts and injustices of railroad corporations against the people. He left the Democrats with nothing but tariff reform. and at a time was of a mind to steal that also, but the stand-pattier begged him out of the notion. Since Au gust, however, some of the leaders of the Democratic party have gone off after strange gods, having no claim or stand ing on the part of those who had Kept the Demeccratic faith from Jackson to Bryan and Parker. These things got the oid party all mixed up again, and the chances of carrying the next House went glimmering. However, things which can’t be cured must be endured, and while the old party is badly disfigured, it is SH the bis and may make a better than some of those guessing, gassy, Re publican managers think. They are not the whole bakery any more. Their cor poration contribution cake is not nearly so large and digestible as it was, As a matter of fact, it looks like dough, if it has not the taste, These Republican dis trict managers have always had an abundance of slush funds to supply cam paign workers, and those C. W.'s are the men who get the voters to the polls for the Republican Congressional candidates. Republicans Lack Money. Greenbacks and vellowhacks will be bad iy needed this time next week outside of New York, That is generally the money center of the country, but particularly =o at this time. For the past month the cry has come from the West and Middle West togthe Nagional Republican Cam paign Comimttee for money “to make the mare go,” but where the managers have formerly sent a check for $1,000, only $100 is now forwarded, It has come to that, for the committee is simply dealing out some of the left-over corporation monev of 194. It still has a pretty fair surplus on hand, but it is not being wasted for the Congressicnal campaign, for the rea son that the Republican managers be lieve they will carry the Hcease from forty to fifty, and they Know they will need all the money they have for 1908. In this belief they are doubtless justified by political conditions. They should surely do as well, if ndt better, than in 1902 In that year they carried the House by 20, Without going into details by Congressional districts and taking the vote of 12 as a basis, the Democrats should gain at least thirty-five districts, and then they will only regain districts that up to the 134 slump belcnged to them and had belonged to them for years. The recovery of these thirty-five districts by the Democrats would reduce the pres ent Republican majority in the House feventy, and give them only about forty majority. CORTELYOU RETURNS. Will Mot Discuss New York Situation inti] He Sees President. Postmaster General Cortelyou, who went to New York at the request of President Roosevelt to look into the po litical sitvation so as to give the Presi dent his views of the outlook, especially regarding the chances of the election of Charles E. Hughes as governor, returned last snight. Mr. Cortelyou did not go to the White House and give the President his views of the situation, but will do so to-day. The Postmaster General declined to discuss the subject of New York politics, at least until he has seen the President. Ié was in New York four days, and during that time held conferences with all the lead ing politicians and obtained information from other sources. Mr. Certelyou would not indicate whether or not he believes the Republican ticket will be suecessful. Wooten Heln Husk ares Topeka, Kans, Oct. 22 —Kansas can use 10,000 corn huskers.

H What appeared to be an effort to get that body on record in the matter of indorsing him came in the form of a letter from the Central Association of Trades Councils of Corning, N. Y., in which its secretary, BE. L. Crevo, wanted to know what action the C. F. U. had taken regarding the in dorsing of Mr. Hearst last Sunday. The writer said that he saw by the papers that matters were badly mixed up. He wanted to know what the Central Fed erated Union actually did, as it looked as if it had indorsed somebody, It was decided that the writer of the letter should be told that no action was taken toward indorsing Mr. Hearst or Mr. Hughes. The Hearst people were vigorously de nounced by delegates of the International Association of Machinists und Cigar Makers’ Union, Neo. 144, for having given cut statements that their unions were going to take part in the alleged Hearst labor demonstration on Sunday. Just be fore this delegates from various organi zations had moved for the indoisement of nominees belonging to the respective trades, Independence League, and Inde pendent Labdr Party tickets, Several attempts were made by Hearst men to get his name in for eulogics, but tke culogies were cut short. Finally a resolution was passed which was a very harmless one. It was that a vote of than. .s be given to Thomas Rock, a labor candidate who had ‘been turned down by Hearst for his efforts to get the eight-hour bill passed. TO LIVEN HUGHES CAMPAIGN. Reot Will Talk and Vigorous Meth. ods Will Be sed. Republicans in Washington who take a strong interest in the New York political situation have received information from inside sources in New York that, begin ning tomorrow, the Republican State com mittee will adopt a new and vigorous at titude in furthering the campaign of Mr. Hughes.

It was said yesterday that Mr. Root would make it pizin to the voters of New York that it is the sincere wish of President Roosevelt that Mr, Hughes shall be elected governor. Mr. Root is a splendid talker, a master of v gorous, expressive English, and his heart is in the cause.

Sizes Point te Election of Republi cans by Reduced Majorities. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 23.—As election day in Ohio draws near, the campaign managers of both parties are devoting every energy to geiting out the vote on November 6. The people of the State, with the ex ception of a few localities, are absolute ly apathetic, and it is feared that the vote will be the smallest in recent years. To get them out, all of the “big guns,” oratorically speaking. arc being discharg ed, as witness the tours of William J. Bryan and Secretary of War Taft. It seems to be having little effect, however, and the present outiook is for the elee tion of the Repubiican State ticket by a greatly reduced “off year” plurality. FUSION TICKET LEADS.

Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 28 Interest in the campaign in the State is now at fever heat, and the advocates of the Republi can and Fusion State tickets are doing everything in their power to convert the independent voter. Both sides are mak ing the most extravagant claims, but the present outlook is for the success of the Fusion ticket.

Boston, Oct. 8 —W “hile District Attorney Moran, of this city, the Democratic candi date for governor, is making a desperate effort to cvercome the usual Republican plurality in this State, the indications ot the present time are that he will succeed only in cutting down the big indicated plu rality, and that the mnedublican Staite ticket will be successful.

Commonwealth Attorney Samue¢} G. Brent, Police Jus tice Caton, Chief Goode, of the police force, and other officers held conferences to-day, when the new developments were discusged ut length. Should the clew prove well founded, it is believed that definite results will have been obtained by to-morrow evening. In comparing the several statements of eyewitnesses of the shooting, and of the prior attack which the negro made on Officer Nicholson, the police have found ‘that considerable discrepancy exists as to the description of the murderer. For in stance, some declare that the man is un der the medium in size and weight, while others assert that he is of stout build and about the average height. There ‘was also a difference in the statements as to whether he wore a mustache. The police, however, believe that the deserip tion which they sent out recently is suffi clently accurate for its purposes. Fire in South St. Asaph Street.

J, Oct. 8. —Miss Flor inda THario will be placed on trial in the Somerset coffrt here tomorrow for the murder of Alex Dipaie, on June 14, 196. Dipalo was a well-known hotel! man and contractor of Raritan. He was called the king of the Italian colony of Raritan. He was influential in politics, and boast ¢d that he had such a political pull that he could do anything that he pleased in Raritan. He wound up his career by de serting his wife and children, and elop ing with Miss Illario, his pretty cousin. Dipola deserted the Illario girl, after liv ing with her several weeks in Washing tor, D. C. He returned to his home in Raritan, and was received by his wife with open arms. The county prosecutor, however, caused Dipola’s arrest on the charge of desertion. 3 Miss Illario, after she had been de seried by Dipalo, also returned here, but her family would not receive her. The girl =aid that Dipola had exercised a strange influence over her, and had in duced her to take all her money from the bank and to flee with him, promising to support her in luxury. She stated Dipola .ibandoned her after he had got most of her money. Dipola’s tried was pend ing, and Miss Illario, it was said, was to be a witness against him. On Sunday afternoon. June 14, he went to Miss Illario’s boarding house, where he found her clone. Just what led up to the murder no one but Miss Iilario knows. She states that Dipola tried to make up with her, but she recited her wrongs and repudiated him. She asked him if she should kill hersell, and he said “yes,” and handed ber his revolver. She kept the weapon, and as he was about to leave the house by a rear en trance she shot at him through a screen deor. He died in the Somerset hospital an hour later.

Paris, Oct. 22.—On both sides the ques tion of what is to be done by the church and state regarding the separation law i= becoming more acute daily. Just now the priests, having indicated that they will do the natural thing in line with their religious duty and obey the Pope, ‘have aroused the government to the point of declaring what it will do in December. It has already been intimated that the government would, in the language of Prime Minister Clemenceau, treat the Pope as a foreign potentate, and there fore, without the right to give an order valid in France. This has been one of the causes that have roused French Cath olics to great energy of antagonism, but it is now declared that the government, supported by the Chamber, will amend the lnw so as to enable it to easily get rid of priests obeying the Pope without put ting them in jail. “Fhe Matin, which it in a position t know, will publish to-morrow confirmati of this revort.

Z8.~The three young men who were arrested Saturday night for preaching anarchy at a meeting of the Progressive Lyceum, at 166 Forsyth street, were held for the grand jury in bonds of $1,000 cach by Magistrate Stein ert, in the Tombs Police Jourt this morning. The prisoners are Abraham Edelson, Max Moscow, and Max Ruben stein. The affidavit charged them with vio lating section 48b of the pena: code, and it was sworn to by Central Office Detective Morris Schwartz. Half a dozen men from that o. ce and several pre cinct detectives were at the meeting and had stencgraphers to take down the speeches, both English and German. The affidavit charBed the three with “openly, wiilfully, and deliberately jus tifying the assassination of William Me Kinley, who was at the time o. his as sassination President of the United States.” Edelson was quoted as saying, “Did Czol gosz have any personal enmity against McKinley? I say no. After he had killed McKinley, he shed tears in his cell, for McKinley the man, but was well satisfied for killing McKinley the tyrant, who represented a class of peo ple who ought to be done away with. The capitalists say that Czolgosz was insane, vet their own doctors examined him and pronounced him sine. The capi. taiists fear the people would rise in revo lution if they believed Czolgosz sane. Czolgesz saw that conditions here were no better than in Russia, and that's why he did it.” After the case was disposed of, and the anarchists had left the court, policemen found they had pasted little “stickers” with brief quotations from writers on anarchy on the walls. French Woman Is Caught in Unique Restaurant Swindle. Paris, Oct. 2. The police have discov ered a trick—mew to them—which has been practiced in the restawrants fre quented after midnight by the better class of people. Last night in a resort on Montmarte, where city officials and opera stars are well known, and Washington people are sometimes seen, a lawyer drew a louis from his pocket to pay fer his refreshment, whereupon 2 goung woman of chgaging manners approached, and an nounc.ng herself as a fetishist, asked permission to bite the coin for good luck. ine lawyer was complaisant, but the girl, instead of biting the coin, swallowed i. Despite her alluring smiles the lawyer's complaisance changed t¢ resentment. He called a policeman, and the girl was ar rested. At the station house the commis sary ordered an emetic, when, to the cone sternation of those present, there came into view, not the louis, hut two if-franc pieves, The commissary urged a secowd ‘effort, and the patient rid herself, not of one, but two coins of the desired denoni nations. Then she was locked up. The police have lsarned that she has been practising her game with great suc. cess.

They were lying back to back, the woman's overskirts draped over the man for protection against the cold. The policeman leaned over and shook the woman vigorously. She did not stir. He then turned his attention to the man, who came to with a dazed air and blinked as he saw the policeman, and then at the woman alongside him on the ground. “The woman is dead,” said the police man. “Whe are you and what are you doing here?’ The man, who was only a young fel low and wore a sailor's uniform, looked puzzied. Apparently he did not know anything about it. When he got a look at the woman, he said: “I don’t remen: ber meeting her, and I don’t know how I got here.” The sailor was arrested, and the body of the woman was taken to the morgue. Later in the day the man, who said @ie was Clinton C. Clark, able seaman, of the U. 8. S. Indiana, was arraign ed in the West Side Police Court, and after a brief examinatiop was held without bail for further investigation. The police believe the woman was mur ‘dered.

No great battle was ever won by a di vided army. Napoleon massed his troops, and only lost when he essayed to meet the enemy without his fullest strength. Wash ington ought to profit by the lesson of Waterloo. There are in this city several commer cial organizations. They are all goed, in their way, and all are officered by men who have the development and progress of the National Capital close to their hearts. They have achieved some results, and yet, after all, their power and influ gence is lessened by the fact that they are working as separate organizations. In view of the fact that we are now all de termined to build up a Greater Washing ton, is not the time ripe for a consolida tion of these associations into one great instrument for advancing the city's wel fare? Other cities point the way. In In dianapolis, for instance, the Commercial Club is 2 vital, influential factor in the city’s growth. Its club-house is a mag nificent structure, carrying conviction te the mind of every visitor that the Indian apolis business men are progressive and prospernus. Why cannot Washington go and do likewise?

If the effort to stimulate the commercial side of Washington is to be succesful, it will be necessary to sink ail personal am bitions and forget all rivairies. The pres ent business organizations can well afford to merge all their individualities into one great association, headed by some broad minded, public-spirited man whose name will te an carnest of splendid achievement. An institution of this character, inbued with a lively sspirit of devetion to the city's weifare, could accomplish muche.. It could, for instance, build 2 home for itself which would be a credit to the city and an attraction to the would-be buver from abroad. It would impress Congress wiih its strength, because it would speak with the voice of authority. In addition te all this, and perhaps most important ot all, it would elevate our commercial life to a commanding plane and thus exert a bene ficial effect upon the whole community.

We do not like to believe that the Fed eration’s remarkable scheme springs vague and impotent from “the mad pride of intellectuality,”” for the reason that, if- practicable, it would at once open a short cut in the direction of human econ tentment, and within a period of two or three generations at most would land us free from the sordid siains of this sin ful world in the longed-for millennium

No; let us rather hope that the World's New Thought Federation can deliver the goods.

The minister of the Gospel will find a way to satisfy the spiritual cravings of every hungry soul. No longer will a hewilder ed and headstrong flock wander among dogmatic brambles and entangle their feet in worldly snares. The spellbinder likewise, at last untrammeled by hazy mental impressions for which he cannot acccunt, will mount the gleaming sky as biithe as any lark.

it cannot be denied, however, that the attitude of certain elements of the Cali fornia population toward the Japanese is apt to be prolific of trecuble in our reia tions with Japan. Not only the segrega tion of Japanese from white children in the schools is aimed at, but also the exclusion of Japanese laborers from come petition with white laborers. There may be room for difference of opinion as to whether segregation is in contravention of treaty rights, but there can be no doubt about the utter impracticability of excluding the Japanese, as such a policy would not only vielate treaty rights, but would wreck our long-time friendship with the Yankees of the Orient and deal a crushing blow to our ambitious trade projects in the far Eastt We have no idea that the exclusion agitation will re ceive a moment's countenance from the present administration, or from any American citizen anxious for the good name of his country among the awaken ing peoples of Eastern Asia. 1 i i That New York man who wants to es tablish magazines for the insane might save time by simply endowing a few of those already in circulation. We welcome 0 the circle of the elect, to the galaxy of the great, the Hon. Wil liam Lycurgus Slinkard, of Indiana. Full |pangpiied for mighty deeds of statecraft, Slinkard has been yanked from hig law of fice in Bloomfield by the militant Democ i racy of the senatorial district comprising |the counties of Greene, Owen, and Monroe, tand clothed with the authority of his party to make the race for State senator. Right masterfully is Slinkard going on his pe. In our esteemed contemporary the Worthington Times—"twice 3 week, Tues days and Fridays’—we learn something of Slinkard for the enlightenment of man kind. ————_ hes eb am a. The high emprise, the palpitating pa triotism, the ideals of statesmanship, the great achievements already recorded in the book of time opposite the name of William Lyecurgug Slinkard, are all-no, certainly not all—duly set forth by our hero himself in the expansive columns of the Worthington Times. It appears that Slinkard did not know he was to be nom inated. We like to think of Slinkard as realizing so completely the ideal of Hoosier statesmanship, which is that the office should and must seek the man. Slinkard has been sought and found. For example, we learn from his letter of ac ceptance: i i “I was not present at the joint senatorial conven tion, but learn that 1 was unanimously honored with the uomination, &e." We do not have to stop here to inquire how Slinkard learned of his nomination. The trump of fame blew it inte his startled ears. We hurry on to gleeful con templation of the immortal principles enunciated by Slinkard, which he classi fies under eleven heads. Thus:

i “First. The repeal of that part of the drainage law affecting the cleaning of ditches and a retwru to the old alioctment pian, where each man is given an op portunity to clean his ewn allotment. “‘Sceond. The modification of the present fish and gmc laws and the passage of laws on the subject which give greater privileges to the resident land owners and citizens and against licensing nonresi aents and foreigners with more rights. 1 want a fish law where 1 don't have to measure the fish before I catch it, nor keep my eye skinned all the time to look for hired detectives and game wardens, whose only object is to get the enormous fees provided by law. 1 believe in making it a penitentiary offense to dynamite fish. I want a game law that I may kill a quail or squirrel for the sick, and shoot rabhits cating my fruit trees without viclating the law. Open season for squirrels after October 1st. “Third. The repeal of that part of the pickling vat law which allows only twenty-four hours for rclatives or legal representatives only to claim the body of a dead person, and passage of a humane and merciful law, whereby all citizens of this great Com monweaith shall reccive decent burial by their rela tives, legal representatives. friends, or neighbors, if they choose, upon due and timely notice; or at the expense of the county of their residence, before they shall be confined to the vat.” i We hold that the principles above enu merated are immortal and cannot die. The other seven, as set forth by the Hon. William Lycurgus Slinkard, appeal with equal force to our sense of eternal right

and justice, but we shall leave them to S'inkard and his Republican foes, confi dent that Slinkard will triumph with (he right. We then hurry en to principle No. 11: “Eleventh. The maintenance of the honor of the Hoosier State, for the protection and perpetuation of her institutions upon an economic and moral ba sis, and the advancement of the Curnstian refigion.” We now turn to a consideration of Slinkard's autobiographical sketch. He was born February 19, 1864, in a little cabin made of ordinary logs, situate on the banks of First Creek. The first years of his childhood were spent in and about the old Slinkard wate. mil on First Creek. His father and mother are both living at Newberry, where they moved from the flouring mill and saw mili—an old upright saw mill. At the age of nineteen he taught one winter at the White school house in Cass township. The winter fol lowing he taught the #in-hook school, a distance of two miles from his home, walking night and morning and eating a cold dinner. During the same winter he

Prof. Lowell says that every inhabitant of Mars is suffering wita a frightful and unguenchible thirst. Mars must be a sort of Celestial Kentucky. The appeal of the firemen for a scheduls which will allow them a little more lb erty ought to be heeded by the authorities. These men deserve every consideration. All that they ask is that they shall be allowed twenty-four hours off in every four days and one night off in every twelve days. The Washington fire department is an efficient, well-managed institution, ad ministered by a veteran fireman who has experience, and who daily manifests *n telligence and fidelity. Under his direction the force has, thus far, been equal to all emergencies, and there is no reason to doubt a continuance of its splendid ser vice. In some unexplained manner, how ever, the force has been neglected. It is smail in number, and, with the exception of a few new structures, is badly housed. There was not even any movement for an increased pay for the men until after the effort to raise the salaries of the police men had taken definite shape. It may be that the freedom from disastrous fires which Washington has aiways enjoyed has dulied the Keenness of our depend ence upon these men, but surely even this docs not explain the negligence of the authorities. In the present case it is sald that the desired leave cannot be granted because of the inadequacy of the force. It seems to us that this excuse. now made for the first time, could have been obviated long ago by an appeal to Congress. We hope that the matter will be presented at the next session with proper emphasis, and that the result will be satisfactory. Japan would not make a mistake by giving serious consideration to the words of John Lawrence Sulilvan about the fate of the man who goes into the ring once too often. The Connellsville Courier boasts: “We have a $100,000 heiress. Things are coming our way.” What sort of things? Counts and dukes and things? The American Bankers’ Association ad journed without solving the problem of “how to get more money in emergencies.” We know other folks who have frequently adjourned without solving the same problem. An enthusiastic Chicago man threatens to “appeal to the juries of the country, rather than stand (or the proposed gigan tic packers’ combine.” It may yet become necessary for the combine to pack the juries aleng with its other products.

Exactly; but be careful about picking out the ones you expect to do. Mr. Bryan declares that Mr. Roosevelt has adopted all his policies, and now all that is necessary to complete the Presi dent's greatness is a Democratic House. Mr. Bryan evidently hopes to go down in history as a near-President, if not a President. “I desire to preserve the Democracy,” says Mr. Hearst. And yet many Demo crats contend that he is getting it into a pretty pickle. President Castro is said to be quite well again. The reported arrival of a man with a million dollars somewhere con cealed about his person was bound to bring the President ‘round. Another of George Washington's serve ants has passed away Judging from the number that have passed away, we infer that he found it necessary to change just as often as we latter-day folks.

In selecting fresh eggs in preference to the cold storage Kind, the microbe again demonstrates just how wise and foxy he can be when occasion demands.

One development of the exciting cam paign in Massachusetts which has caused general surprise and comment is that Sen ator Lodge does not keep a telephone in his residence, and, moreover, thal he is de cidedly averse to using the telephone un der any circumstances. The Massachu setts statesman is one of the few mem bers of Cengress who do not have tele phones in their Washington residences or apartments. In his committee room at the Capitol, Senator Lodge has a tele phone, but it has been noticed that he personally uses this very seldom. It is only to talk with the President on im portant pressing matters of legislation that Mr. Lodge has ever been known to converse over the ‘phone. Just what his objection is to the telephone is net known, though that his aversion is strong is a well-established fact. Senator Hale, by the way, is another statesman who em ploys the telephone rarely, and his com mittee room Is the only one at the Cap itol that is not supplied with one.

hr 'What Haz Become of Fille? Only a few years ago the most conspicu ous figure in the Republican politics of Missouri, was the Hon. Chauncey Ives Filley. For many years he was the Mis sourl member of the Republican National Committee, and was the one man above all others consulted by his party's man agers on affairs in bis State. He partici pated quite as prominently as any of the old-line Republican leaders in all the campalgns down to that of 19%, but since then little or nothing has been heard of him. A mighty power he was in his day, and his dropping out has been so com plete that many politicians in Washington are wondering if he is dead. Mr. Filley is still living, and although well up toward the fourscore mark in vears, he is in good health and vigor. Mr. Filley's present plight of inconspicuousness illustraies better than any other modern example what is lable to happen to the public man who is ignored by the newspapers, When Joseph B, McCullagh was editor of the St. Louls Giobe-Democrat he kept Mr. Filley constantly before the public by severely criticising his every public act. Since MeCullagh's death the great party organ he buiit up has systematically ignored Mr. Fillevy. Bad Luck Pursues Him. If any officer of the United States army has cause to think that the fates are against him, surely that officer is Maj. Gen. A. W. Greely. Years 4go. when promotion in the ariny was go slow as to discourage the most loyal and faith ful officers, Gen. Greely wae lifted from the line and transferred to the staff under the old system. Promotion in rank came with this transfer, but the old sta system wag charged with such little work that its members were seldom given an opportunity to distinguish themselves. Gen. Greely was chief of the Signal Corps, when that branch of the service had almost nothing to do. Thus, for yeirs he had no chance to perform active cor vice. Not long ago he was promoted to the grade of major general, and assigned to command on the Pacific Coast. When the terrible earthquake devastated Sin Francisco, Gen. Greely was in Washing ton on leave of absence to attend the marriage of his daughter. It thus fell to the lot of the lucky Funston, second in command of that department, to do the first and most spectacular work perform ed by the army in that catastrophe. Gen, Greely hurried back ito his post with all possible speed, and rendered most valu able service, but Funston had previously become identified in the public mind with the army's notable performance. Gen. Greely is now commanding the depart ment in which the Ute Indians are on the warpath, but it seems that his ill-luck is still pursuing him, for in the arrange ments mide in Washington for the prose cution of the campaign against the Utes Gen. Greely appears to have been com pletely left out. It is said, furthermore, ‘that just before the Utes left their reser vation and took to the warpath, Gen, Greely was stricken with illness and was forbidden by his physician to perform any artive wari Owen Trying It Again. The Hon. Wager Sherley is having a red hot fight for re-election to Congress from the Louisville district. His Re publi can opponent is the Hon. William C. Owen, who sprang into national promi nence first as temporary chairman of the last convention that nominated Grover Cleveland for President, which was in 1892, and who then defeated The late Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge for the Demo cratic nomination for Congress in the old Ashland district after the most ex citing campaign in the history of Ken tucky, or perhaps, the whole country. Mr. Owen was at that time, of eourse, a ‘Democrat. He wandered from the fold on the Goebel issue in Kentucky. Twenty years or so ago Mr. Owen was one of the most promising political lights in the Bluegrass State, but a singul fatal ity seems to have attended his career. After defeating Colonel Breckenridge for the Democratic nomination in tae famius ‘Madeline Pollard campaign, Mr. Owen wis able to hold the seal for only one term. Having been bowled out of th: game in the Ashland district, Lexing ton being its center, Mr. Owen removed to Louisville to practice law. Sca-cely before he was cid encugh to hcld the office, he was speaker of the Kentucky legislature, and attained unusual dis tinction in that position, having been re elected to it several times. Kentuckians who remember the great John C. Breck enridge declare that Owen is almost an exact replign. of him in physique and physiognomy, and that in eloquence he is almost the equal of that famous ora tor. Fish and Spencer. The sensational troubles Stuyvesant Fish recently had with E. H. Harriman over control of the Illincis Central Rail road is a reminder to well-informed Wash ingtonians of the quiet but effective work ‘done in the interests of the railroads by Mr. Fish and another able railroad man, ‘when rate legislation was the exciiing sub ject before Congress and the country last winter, The other gentleman referred to is Samuel Spencer, president of the South ern Railroad Company, who is accounted by those who know him as probably the most intellectual man connected with American railroad administration. Messrs. Spencer and Fish were the real! repre sentatives of the combined railroad in terests at tne capital all through the fierce campaign for effective regulation ‘which so suddenly was sprung on these in terests by President Roosevelt. Mr. Spen cer's residence is in Washington, so that his presence here during that great fight occasioned no special comment. Mr. Fish rented a handsome residence in the most fashionable part of the city, and occupied it constantly from the opening to the close of the campaign. The residences of Messrs. Snencer and Fish were not far apart, and they held daily conferences on rate legiglation. It was their finely trained minds that marked the course of the opposition to the President's pro gramme, although their work was done so quietly and with such consummate ckill ‘that comparatively few members of either branch of Congress were aware that these ‘two master railroad managers were mix ing in the game.

Frém the Angusta Chronicle. In Alabama, last week, an aged negress died—"Aunt” Clarissa. Following her re mains to the grave were, among other vehicles, six carriages occupied by the leading white women of the community. On her grave there were piled myriads of floral tributes, the finest display of offerings of the kind ever seen in that section of the country. Twenty-five wives of farmers and business men heard the sermon over the grave, by “Aunt” Cilarirsa’s negro pastor. The pastor, ‘among other things, said: yan some interesting things regarding

i his section of the South. “I live,” sald he, “in Bullock County, which is in the heart of the black belt of our State. There are about five negroes in the county to every white, but what we lack in numbers I am proud to say we make up in quality of citizenship. “Much is said of the race problem, of the present and future relations of the black men and the white men. I am willing to say that if all negroes lived the life this dead sister has lived, the race problem would be solved.” “Aunt” Clarigsa was eighty years of age at the time of her death. For fifty years she had lived in one white man’s service. She had cared for his wife and children and grandchildren. She was the person in the household who handied the money. She bought the household sup plies, She rendered accounting to no one. She paid herself her own salary. She saved all she made. She was more than housekeeper. She was friend.” It ‘is said that at the burial to the =obg and tears of relatives were added the manifestations of sorrow of the white women, and that the lady in whose home Clarissa had lived wag deep in anguish. This is a suggestive picture in contrast with the ery of negro orators and poli ticians that is heard these diys—the ery of the negro who claims that his race is down trodden by the white man, “Aunt” Clari-sa lived a life of integrity, of use fulness, and of uprightness.

The flat has another thing to answer for. It fills the insane asylum. Such at least is the statement of Willlam' C. Graves, secretary of the Illinois state board of charities. “The city women who go to the insane asylums go from flats,” was the statement oi Mr. Graves. “For years it has been sald that the farms were the great fred: ers to the women's ward in the asylum. Now the flat buildings are running the farme a good second. “At first thought the farm and the flat may seem to be far remeved from each other, but they aren't except by mere dis tance in miles. The monotony and the lonesomeness which characterize the one are features of the other. Isolation is the thing which drives women crazy. And the woman in a flat is isolated even as the wonfin on a farm is, “When the monotony and the loneliness grow unbearable, melancholia sets in, and that is one of the hardest forms of insan ity to overcome; much more stubborn and unresponsive to treatment than the more violent forms of dementia.” Insurance Companies on Defensive. Fromm the Boston Transeript. The officials of these companies have been put on the defensive, not merely with respect to their administrative policy but alse on account of the arbitrary methods employed to compe! their gen eral agents to sink their own independ ence and work as these officials’ personal representatives.

It has put every obstacle in the way of reaching them. Its lists have been imperfect, and from the number of letters returned the addresses in thousands of cases must have been false.

The management has resorted to every possible device to prevent a fair expression ef opinion on the part of those who are most concerned ‘in it. Tne Internationa!

Rhcial differences are ineradicable, and there are abundant reasons why they must be $0. The Oriental human product is so totally d'fferent from the Occidental that any attempt at amalgamation is bound to result in failure. This is not to say that one is necessarily better than the o'her, but the differences have to be recognized, and it is the failure to do =o that constitutes the great cause of the racial conflicts of our own time. When Japan recognizes that political and international comity can exist without the social intermingling of her people with those of the white races, she will lose the supersensitive agitation over California's exclusion of some Japanese pupils from the public schools.

4 A A Ter A oS THE WASHINGTON HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 19086, 5 COMMITTEE NOT ORGANIZED. Eugenics Socieiy May Not Repert to Stock Breeders. Dr. Willet M. Hays, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, is authority for the state ment that the committee from the asso elation on eugencies, which it is expected will appear before the American Breeders’ Association at Columbus next January, to tell something of the work which has been done by this association in its study of the laws of heredity, has not yet been formally organized, and that it does not expect to make a formal report at the Columbus meeting. “The members of the so-called ‘com mitiee on cugenics’ have heen selected,” said Dr. Hays last night, “but no meeting has been held and no organization ef fected. No chairman has been chosen, and, in short. nothing has been done further than to propose that we give to the Breeders’ Association some of the information our society has gained through years of quiet study. ““This is not a matter of sensationalism, and we hope that the newspapers wiil not treat it as such. It is not at all likely that our committee will make a report at Columbus.

i “It is hard to say just when the com mittee will get together and organize. Its members are widely scattered just now, and I cannot predict when they are likely to meet.”

The committee to which Dr. Hays re fers will in all probability be composed of himself, Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, and the Rev, J. E. Gilbert, of this city; Maj. Charles Woodruff, M. D., of the United States army; President David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford Uni versity; Dr. Charles E. Henderson, of the University of Chicago, and Prof. C. W, Ward, of Peekskill, N. Y.

The Eugenie Association, as its name implies, is a society of scientists who have for some time quietly pursued the study of the improvement of human race culture.

ARMY MEN LEARN TO COOK Three Schools in Operation Interest Officers as Well as Privates. Gen. Sharpe Says Result is Already Apparent in Better Cooked Food and Less Waste—The Purpose, Cominissary General Sharpe and his assistants in the Subsistence Depart ment are greatly pleased with the re sults of the experiment they have been making for over a year in conducting a school for bakers and cooks of the army. The main school at Fort Riley and its branches at the Presidio and the Wash ington Barracks have proved to be of immense benefit in the work of feeding Unele Sam's troops, and have grown steadily in favor, not only with the men assigned to that work, but also with the officers themselves, When the project was first put under way, it was greeted with rather con temptuouws tolerance, if not absolute de rision. In the few months the work has been carried on, however, its utility has become so evident that now it is re garded as a necessity, And the officers are anxious to take the course slong with the cooks and bakers. i

The officers in the Commissary Depart ment have been regularly detailed to take the course of instruction, and at the same time the officers at the posts having seen the advantages to ie de rived from a scientific Knowledge of the work of preparing the food for the sol j ders have become eager to take the lessons along with the others. The Commissary Department has been greatly hampered in the work through [lack of special funds for maintaining the schools. It has been necessary to confine the instruction to the prepara tion of the regular rations of the three posts where the schools are establishéd and to do this without wasting the sup plies. For this reason the lessons are given while the dally meals aré being prepared, and care has to be taken that none of the food is spoiled. In spite of this handicap, however, a great improve ment has been made in the cooking, and this progress has become all the more marked as the graduate cooks are sent out to other posts,

One of the chief advantages resulting from the special training is that the cooks are taught how to make the most of tha supplies issued to them. By careful man agement a certain per cent can be saved and exchanged for various delicacies to make the meals more attractive. The training all the way through is practical, not theoretical. That is, instead of show ing the cooks merely how to make the dishes, they are shown just how much is needed in preparing a meal for sixty five men, the present complement of a company. The methods by which the ma terials can pe utilized in making different dishes are also demonstrated at the same time,

The practical effectiveness of the schools was shown to Gen. Sharpe's greatest sat isfaction last summer, when during the encampment at Mount Gretna the bak ers frem the Washington Barracks pro vided the entire army with bread. Train ed cooks were also detailed among the militia regiments and instructions given to the cooks of those organizations. i

-_ “One of the most pleasing results of the experiment,” said Gen. Sharpe, “is the interest that has been groused among the officers in the work. At the three posts where we have schools the officers sta tioned there from time to time have all taken the course. There was a good deal of joking when we first started, but the officers soon came to realize how much it would be to their advantage to know just how the food should be prepared and when the cooking was being done prop erly. They are in a better position to look after the needs of their men, and at the same time, it has a good effect upon the rank and file when they see their officers are looking after their in terests in the proper manner. We hope in time to be able to establish more schools, but in the meantime we are ac complishing even more than we hoped for with the three we have in operation now. It isn’t hard to see where the benefits arise from having the cooks and bakers properly trained, for every one Knows now important a part good food plays in making good soldiers. The food is bet ter cooked, the meals show a greater va ‘riety, and there is less waste.”

To such a pitch of perfection have the manufacturers brought this same once-despised velveteen that it often takes more than a passing glance to distinguish it from its much more expensive cousin, the chiffon silk velvet. All the bloom and softness of coloring are there, and when contrasted with a fine broadcloth, a soft silk, or a filmy lace, all of the pretty offect of the more expensive fabric is gained. and without undue cost either.

115 MILLER THE CHAMPION. T Little Jockey Hass Won 305 Races sfhee January 1.

When Walter Miiler landed Onatas the winner of the second race at the Jamaica track Saturday, he established a rdcord of 305 winning mounts since January 1—a mark far in excess of that made by any other jockey in the world. As Miller continues riding in form, and the season stil has several weeks more to run, his year's achievement may be set down as remarkable,

Eugene Hildebrand formerly held the record. In 1904 he rode 297 first horses. Miller equaled this performance on Tues day with Rye. On Wednesday he made the record an even $08, when he placed Hot Toddy in front by a nese. Since then he has ridden five winners.

AMERICANS IN LEAD Won More InterleagneGames Than the Nationals. A

BASEBALL SCORES COMPARED

in 19505 There Was a Difference of

Only One Game, and the Year Previous Ban Johnson's Teams Won Two More Than Nationals—Big Difference in Other Yeears. When McGraw's Giants made short work of the Athletics in the world's series a year ago the partisans of the National League arose in their might and declared that organization the only major league in existence. Since the playing of the championship games in Chicago the American Leaguers have come forward with the argument that they have a stronger organization than the Nationals. There must be something in it if figures indicate anything. In a recapitulation of the scores in all the interleague games played by the major organizations in the last four seasons, the American League "is shown 10 be stronger than. the National. Here are the comnarative totals:

Year. Won. Year. 193— Americans. 2 1%03~Nationals. ....e.... 1904 Americans....,.... 13 199¢—Nationals.......... 1995— Americans. 3% 1905 Nationals... Wor 2 1§ 2

Last season the National League had only three clubs worth speaking about. These were Chicago, New York, and Pittsburg. Chicago was so much su perior to the others that they made a runaway race for the pennant. Pittsburg was not nearly as strong as when they carried the flag to the Smoky City, and the Giants played a slower game this vear than last. The entire team, with the exception of Arthur Devlin, showeca deterioration. Had Patsy Donovan a pitching staff equal to that of the Giants his Superbag would have made it un pleasant for the best of them. Cincin nati again failed te come up (0 expec tations, and the Phillies were so erratic and inconsistent that the enu of the seasen brought a wholesale change in the team. The Cardinals were almost ‘as big a joke as the Beostons, and 1 would be difficult to perpetrate anything worse than these clubs on the public. Grand total......ceesn #0 Grand total i The American League had only two clubs that, after the season was we.l on its way, did not have a chance to win the pentiant. Boston was a failure largely through the unwise policy of standing pat on a team that had won two championships and was showing the wear of time, The other club was the Nationals, whe were shy on class as a whole, but whe piayed magnificently at times, And vet either of these teams could take care of the tallenders in the National League, while those clubs higher in the American race would win a majority of the games with their National rivals. All Around Players. Among a few hundred baseball play ers that by virtue of their ability to play a strong article ol ball are drawing cala ries in the big leagues thiere ure seven that have acquired considerable fame by thelr ability to make good in nearly any position to which they arc assigned. In ther words, there are but seven cracking good utility players in the two major circuits, the American League having four on its rolls, while the National has three. The seven are Napoleon Lajoie and Georges Stovall, of the Clevelands; Frank Isbell, of the White Sox, and “Wid” Conroy, of the Yankées, of the American League; Hans Wagner, of the Pittsburgs; Roger Bresnahan, of the Glants, and Artie Hof man, of the Cubs, of the National League. Of the above Lajoie and Wagner have aiways been conceded to be the greatest all around players in the country, bul when it comes to sterling ability to play other positions Stovall, Isbell, and Bres rahan have a right to be ranked with this famous pair. In their nateral positions and at bat Lajoie and Wagner, however outclass the other utility players, and for that reason they must be given first rank. Larry broke into the game as a catch ér, but was soon shifted to the outfield. On jeining the Phillies ten years ago he ‘starred at first base. Later he went ‘second, and has s'nce been regarded as thc greatest second baseman the game ever knew, playing difficuit chances with such grace as- to make them look easy cnough for a child to make. Since join ing Cleveland Larry has played a star game at first and short in addition to filling in ereditably at third. Hans Wagner has, since drawing his pay as a Pirate, starred at short, nrgt base, and in the outfield. That he cz do equally as well at third or second is not doubted. He can also catch in a diach, and if asked to twirl would not refuse. Bresnahan and Isbell. Roger Brespahan and Frank Isbell are the only two, however, outside of Chariey Hickman, who are big league players that have played in every position on the diamond. Bresnahan was a pitcher in the old Tri-State League, prior to coming to Washington a good mi§ny years ago. Later, he was released Balti more, and while an Oriole was forced to go behind the bat, all the regular catchers being crippled. Since that time he has played all the outfields and bascs and short fields as well, and what's mare played them so well that the fans were glad the regular occupants of the positions were crippled. Even yet, he can pitch almost as good as ever. Isbell was a pitcher for the old Chi cago Nationals before the American League had been born. Comiskey als) had him on his twirling staff at St. Paul, but upon invading Chicago placca him on first base. During the last seison ‘he ‘played second base with an oecasional fling at the outfleld, while a year ago he was called upon to cover shor. ana third and the outfield gardens. That he could also catch was demonstrated on ge of the White Sox's visits te Phila

Billy work ed in numerous double-headers, which ac counts for the fact that he umpired in eight more games than the season calls for. In addition, he is the first youngster that Ban Johnson has broken in that has lasted an entire season. That this was true was largely due to the excellent care Evans took of himself and the training he took upon himself last winter. Like a fighter training for a bout in the ring, Evans trained himself for the work upon the diamond, starting in at read and gymnasium routine aieng about Christmas and keeping it up until ready to report to President Johnson. While he, no doub*, made numerous mistakes, he gave the decisions as he saw them and his work as a whole deserved re-engagement. That he had backbone was demonstrated on more than one occasion when some of the older players tried te take advantage of his youth and inexperience to browbeat and bulldoze him. 3 1 p hd

Team work is needed not only by play ers, but by officials also this year. Take the forward pass, for instance. The ref erce has a preity tough job of it in watch ing the ball from the moment it is put in play to note simultaneously the spot from where it was thrown, the direction it takes, and whether it is caught or strikes the ground. He rceds eyes in the side of his head to see all of these things at once, and really needs the help of. the umpire or linesman in noting Recurately the spot from which the. bail wag lung. In such a play is where the two umpires, provided for by the rules, would come in handy. Officials are having their trials in mastering the details of their work, and some of them have not mastered them. In a certain school game the other day a punt was blocked near the punting side’s goal I'me, and cne of the latter team fell on the ball for safety. The ref. erec ruled that a touchback had been made. Play was resumed, and about fif Teen minutes later the captain of the team which blocked the punt awoke to the fact that it was a safety not a touchback. He put in a claim of two points, and the referee reversed bls decision and allowed the safety. It was a safety without doubt, but the right of a referee to reverse a decision after play had gone on was ques tioned.

ball has arrived at its most strenu period of the season, and covating the Harvard-Yale game on November 4 as the close of the year, although Penn sylvania plays Cornell on Thanksgiving Day, and the Army meets the Navy on the following Saturday, the season has just four weeks ionger to run. There have been few football campaigns that moved so rapidly, and none that was as interesting. The season ls well at ite height when the Wednesday games are wiped off the boards, and such teams as Princeton and Dartmouth, Yale and West Point, and Harvard and Brown come together. This is the time of year that every coach has to do close figuring, not so mueh on his own team as on the strength of his opponents. The elevens are expected at this stage of the season to be pretty close to the smoothness that they carry gradually to the highest per feetion throughout the harder games of November. e— The finest comparison obtainable be tween Yale and Harvard before they meet on November 17 is the West Point contest. They do not seem to get much thrown off form by hard tussles from week to week, because there seems to be something peculiarly adaptable in their training system, or in the mpd. Against Yale, the soldiers will battle next Sat urday. Jale's Attack Not Strong. Up to date Yale has not shown a par ticularly consistent attack, especially where the attack on the old lines of foot ball is strongly needed. That was shown in the games with Pennsylvania State pretty thoroughly. The coaches apparent ly have had to take up sue¢h a deal of time instructing in the new game and grounding the players in that style that they have not been able to drill in as much of the old football as is necessary. The players do not seem to be able to make ground by plunging. At the same time the capacity of the Yale defense has been thoroughly tested, and the alert ness of the Yale players has been tried, and nothing has been found lacking there. If the cadet team scores on Yale, it will be only as the result of the eter nal vigilanee in following the ball that ir developed nowhere as highly as at West Point. Of course the old baseball propesition is that good fielding is a fine asset, but that good hitting wins more games. In foot. bali it is the same principle. It takes a good attack to score touchdowns, while a fine defense simply plays a negatively good game. What Yale will do in the line of making an attack in the gext two weeks is the Important thing. That is one reason why scores never tell the tale, The game against Springfield Training School, in which Yale had trouble to make two touchdowns, and against which team Har vard ran up #4 points, apparently would show that Harvard ig so far ghead of Yale that the distance hardly can be counted. But that isn’t 86. The Harvard team is merely lopsided on the side of attack. The Yale team slips ever to the other side ond is almost all defense.

But it is safe to say that Yale has the more sensible plan. It is hard to pick up defense in the latter half of the sesson, and Harvard, whose goal line has been crossed several times, will find that out. Time and again smaller teams have heen able to tally against the Cambridge eleven. The only thing that makes Yale leok really bad in the Springfield game is the fact that the Y. M. C. A. lads 4™® not -seore on Harvard. On the other hand, it must be remembered that Spring field had played Yale and then another hard game before meeting. the Crimson All this helped Harvard in such a con test. But, coming down to cases, the pa score is no method of judg 1 Ea a Ea a a A a a i i a a a es a ing, and it must be let go at that. Princeton's Next Game, Princeton meets Dartmouth next Satur day with a clear-cut remembrance of a defeat that the Hanover lads adminis tered last year to Capt. Cooney’s eleven. The Dartmouth tcam is good this year, albelt not quite so good as it was last year. The coach at Hanover, Fred G. Folsom, has been quoted as strong in pro test against the new rules, which he de clares are not worth while. If that is true, there is trouble at the start for Dartmouth. Any coach who is bucking against the double problem of developing an eleven and developing a liking for the rules is apt to find that he will come out at the small end of the horn, somewhat disheveled, too. Dartmouth has some vet erans, and in fact the team does net fall so far short of last vear's eleven. In John Glaze the Dartmouth men have a good player in every way. He is likely to be able to score for the wearers of the green by a drop kick or long run, and that is a thing that only one team be fore Cornell has been able to do with Princeton this season. Pennsy Bad Off for Linemen, Pennsylvania meets another tough op ponent in Lafayette. The defeat of the Red and Blue at the hands of the: In dians on Saturday was a severe blow to the Philadelphians. Lafayette is one of the strongest of the so-called minor elevens, with an attack that ought to do things to the somewhat porous line of the Red and Blue. Tt is strange that the

In Lavery, Ziegler, and Draper the Quakers have three good line men. Scarlett is an in-and-outer at left end, and Levine does not always play his game on the other ‘wing. Pennsylvania's center, Hollenbach, is coming fast, but has some distance to go. The guard on the left side, Gallagher, is a rather uncertain proposition, and his play in the Brown game gave Draper ali the work that he could find te do. In fact, it was a fine scheme to let Draper out and give Gaston a chance in the lat ter part of the game, because Draper will be needed ater in the season.

The fact that the fresh men of almost ail the colleges out West, as im Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsyl vaniz, Cornell, and Brown in the East, are ineligible for play made it easy for most of the Western coaches lo figure up possibilities before the season started. One thing, though, that worried them out ‘West was the abolition of the training table. At the Unlversity of Chicago the players tried to get around this by get ting up a bearding club where the play ers ate at their own expense. This, how. ver; was not permitied to go on at any great length because it was decided that it was against the spirit of the rules, 1 Chiengo and Michigan. Stagg has great hopes that this year he wiil be able 10 turn out an eleven capable of showing that it is as good as that of ‘Michigan. The Wolverines, on the other hand, have their thoughts on the mateh with Pennsylvania, and they are doing a little worrying. The trip into the enemy’s country to do battle against one of the hest Eastern teams has Yost thinking hard. Michigan never has won a game from Pennsyivania here in the East, and ‘the Quakers, while not as well fitted out as in former years, are determined to up hold the prestige of the East, it will be a game well worth watching for many reasons. In the first place the argument between the East and the West has been going ou for many years. The match between Chicago and West Point several years ago which was won by West Point was far from satisfactory. The Car jisle Indians have played games against the big teams of the Middle West with inconclusive resuits. But this will be a struggle between first-class teams of both sections. Searcity of Good Ends. It is noticeable that this year the ccl jeges have fallen off a great deal in the guality of the ends. Yale has nothing like Shevlin and Rafferty; Princeton no more players like Howard Herfry and Ralph Davis, Of course these men were about the best of the modern crop of ends. Wister at Princeton seems likely to be as goed an end as is playing, and Pennsyl vania has Levene, who was such a start ling success against Harvard last year. At Yale there are mighty few men who lock as if they were going to be good for much but Yale has a habit of picking them out. Howard Jones might well improve over Lis last year's form when he was an un derstudy to Jack Cates. The injury to Burch puts out one man of whom the coaches thought a lot. Cornell since the days of Taussig always has been re markably inefficient on the of the line, although in the Penns a game last year they were stronger there than Cornell men had dared to hope.fBurnham at Harvard is pleasing, and a: Harvard generally has a large collection of that Kind of material to draw from, the Cams bridgites have «hopes. rm Local Football Schedules.

W. R. Gibbs, of Union Park, N. Y., was probably fatally in jured by J. M. Daggett, of 130 Lexington avenue, Gibbs is in the Harlem Hospi tal, and to Assistant District Attorney Cardoza, who took his ante mortem statement, he accused Daggett, who is but seventegn years old, of the crime. According to Givbs, he was celebrating vesterday's football game, when Daggett called him names, and when he resented it, the boy drew a revolver and shot him through the groin. Daggett was arrested and held without bail to awalt results, PRIZE FIGHT NOTES. Billy Mellody has declined a return match with Joe Walcott and says he ‘never will meet Joe again. But “Honey” would like to get on a match with Mike Sullivan, the smaller of the twins. Jack Welsh seems to be grabbing off all the nlums in the reference line on the Pacific Coast. He has taken Graney's place for the time being or until a real good fight comes along, when Graney will try to grab the plum, just as he did at Coldfield. Welsh has been named for the O'Brien-Burns fight. A reason is advanced for Al Kauf mann's sudden departure from Philadel phia to San Francisco on the eve of sign ing articles for a six-round contest with Jack Johnson, the big colored heavy weight. The latest exeuse is that Kauf mann's {ather objected to him meeting a colored man and, as Al is still under age, his word goes, Sam Fitzpatrick, at one time known as the “Australian Comet,” and who has handied some of the Dest fighters in the country, thinks he can forée some of the heavies to give Jack Johnson a chance. Sam ir now wrestling with the problem in behalf of Johnson, but with indifferent success, None of the big feliows can see the clever black when it comes to match. making. Harry Lewis will certainly have to be reckoned with before the light-weight honors are distributed. Naturally, Lewis would be very injudicious were he to set sail for Joseph Gans just at present, for Joseph i€ a man wno has cut short the career of many a budding champion. Lewis’ recent performance in knoeking out Willie Fitzgerald in two rounds and then decisivély beating Jack Dougherty, the Milwaukee weiter, in ten rounds, stamps the New Yorker as a man of class. He has made but one mistake, and that was when he hooked .up with Joe Thomas, who is the best 14-pounder in the game, ‘Lewis should devote his atiention to Herman, Neary, Britt, Corbett, MecGov ern, and men of that class, and some day when Gans is much older he might take a chance at the negro, but not now.

Lord Carlisle bas much artistic taste, and is a painter of considerable skiil, and, Jike Lady Carlisle, he is thoroughly demociatic in tendencles. Among the best friends of his youth was Dante Gabrinol Rossetti, who was the son of a butcher, hut was the chum of the head of the house of Howard. Soon after her marriage Lady Carlisie developed a great !mierest in sociological questions, especially temperance and wo man suffrage. In the former she has ihe enthusiastic support of Lerd Carlisle. On al! of their great estates not a single public house with a liquor license exists. Lady Carlisle many years ago gave up fashionable society, in the usual sense, and ceased going to occurt. None of her daughters have ever been presented at court. There are six living children of the marr age. The eldest son, Lord Mor peth, is married, and so are twe of the dayghters Lady Sybil, who is married to r. Roberts, a Liberal member of Parliament, and Lady Mary, who is mar. ried to Gilbert Murray, who was. at the time of his marriage, professor of Greek at Glasgow University. Two Sons Distinguished. Lord Morpeth is net in sympathy with Lady Carlisi politically, and is a devoted pdherent cf Joseph Chamberlain, who is the particular object of Lady Carlisle's version, and that of all the rest of the family. Among Mr. Chamberlain's most fietermined political enemies are Geoffrey Howard and his brother-in-law, Mr. Rob ETT. Lady Carlisle's second son, the Hon. Geoffrey Howard, was elected to the pres ent Parliament as a Liberal. He visited Washington, and was a guest at the Brit ish Embassy in the winter of 1302-3. A Liiird son, the Hon. Herbert Howard was a journalist, and lost bis life while gallantly [cllewing his profession in the Omdurman rampiign a few years ago. There are two unmarried daughters, both mow grown, Lady Dorothy Howard, who accomoanied Lord Carlisle on his re- sent visit to America to attend the great meeting of the Woman's Christian Tem perance Upion, at which Lady -Carlisie 28 elected president, and Lady Aurea Howard. Lady Carlisle's daughters are deeply interested in sociological ques lions, and are accusiomed from their parliest girlhood .t1o addressing public meetings. Opposed to Vielent Methods. Lady Carlisle by no means approves the riolent methods which are being pursued n Ergland now by the woman suffragists. a mobbing varioug public men and storm 5g the houses of Parliament in order to 3c a hearing. She is devoted to the in crest of her sex, and employs only women servants in the various splendid ‘¢sidences which Lord Carlisle inherited. Fhese include Castle Howard, which, how iver, is rarely occupied by the family. Morpeth Castle is Naworth Castle, in! Cumberland, which was the northern stronghold of the Howards five hundred years ago, and dates from the eleventh sentury. It is one of the finest specimens a medieval castle in existence, and is he favorite residence of Lady Carlisle, The Carlisles alse have a fine London ouse in Palace Green, with a beautif} utlogk upon Kensington Gardens, and tlose by the house which Thackeray built, ind in which he died. The dining-rcom in Lady Carlisle’s Lon on housé is remarkably artistic, having en decorated by Burne-Jones and Wal jer Crane. Carlisies Are Not Rich. The Carlisles, however, are not rich yeople for their class. The up-keep and axes of so many residences, all of which re entailed property, and their large amily, make them really poor people, nd they spend very litile upon personal leasure. Lord Carlisle's health is not strong, and je eannot stand the English winters and fay spends the winter in Italy er gYpt. It is not uncommon on the English tage to find prominent women char ictered thus; the Duchess of Devonshire ind the Countess of Aberdeen have both een carricatured in various plavs. Last feason 3 very successful play, “Major parbara,” was done in Tondon, and it vas generally understood that Major Bar jara herself was a take-off on Lady Carlisle. In sppearance Lady Carlisle is hort and stout. She attaches liitle im jortance to dress, and seems satisfied if ter clothes are whole and clean. ‘Her health is not geod, although she jccomplishes a vast amount ¢f work, be g always engaged in political corre pandence, speaking, and the philan hropic duties which she has undertaken ind has very ably fulfilled. Why She Accented Him. from the Chicags Chronicle. Sir Mortimer Durand, at a dinner at «nox, said of a certain unkind action: “It was a logical action. There was ‘eason behind it. But to be simply bgical and reasonable In our treatment of thers is not enough A certain amount if kindness, of unselfishness, must be hrown in or otherwise we are cruel “I heard of a reasonable but cruel 'oung lady the other day.

They claim to hold the American rights.

i In view of the number of admitted failures on, the New York stage so fer this season and the frequent reporis of read companies closing and starting wear ily back toward the Great White Way, it is just possible the season's grand total of box office receipts will fall a few aellars shy of the fifty millions which the New York Herald says is about the nor mal for the United States in these days of prodigal! theatrical expenditure,

i The theatrical bill cf fare arranged by the Washington mdnagers for their pa trons this week is judiciously varied. There's vaudeville, farce, spectacular inugical comedy, and soclety drama, so that all tastes ought to be sulted with the exception of the taste for “tragedy, which seems to grow weaker every sea son. The simple, heavy dishes of the last century cuisine have gone out and so to a large extent have the e¢lemental plays of the same era Richard Mansfield's press bureau sends out assurances that the greatest theatrical event of many seasons will be pulled of fu Chicago to-night, Then and there the orly Richard will be seen in his epoch marking production of Ibsen's “Peer GynL” The title roles ought to be com- fortably within the range of Mansfield's ability and give full scope tc the pecu- liarities that have won for him =o large and loyal a clientele, Scenically It is promised the production will be sumptu cue. Owing to the locale of the nlay, i will hardly be possible to furbish up old scenery that has done duty in other pro. duetiens and werk it off as specially pre pared for “Peer Gynt.” But then the con scientious Richard weuldn't be gullty of this trick of the trade, any how. Clyde Fitch has discovered that society. especially really “smart” society. can't be portrayed on the stage. He made the dis covery as a result of the restrained en thusiasm of the New York public ever his dramatization of Mrs, Wharton's “House of Mirth.” He says that any way. society as represented on any stage any time is not as interesting to society péople as society per se. He instances that when Mrs. Langtry went inte the atricaiz. she was the mest graceful and charming “smart” woman in London. but on the stage she was one of the mos awkward and gauche, until years of the- atrical experience enabled her to play convincingly Rer own gracious self—which really doesn’t seem to have much to do with the case. When George Bernard Shaw isn't differ ent he's indifferent. When he isn't con tradietory and inconsistent, he doesn’t seem natural, and probably doesn't fee! happpy¥.

i WOMEN'S CONFERENCE ENDED.

Missionary Society's Convention Ad. journs Its Last Session.

An address by Mrs. Mary H. Thirkield, wife of the president of Howard Uni: versity, was the feature of yesterday afiernoon’s session of the Women's Home Missionary Society in Asbury M. E. Church. At the morning session Rev. M. W. Clair, pastor of the church, delivered the annual sermen to a large audience. The Pentecostal meeting, conducted by Mrs. E. J. Cummings, of Baltimore, preceded the sermcn, and it was followed by the annual collection.

Mrs. Clair opened the afternoon ses sion with a platform meeting, and after Mrs. Thirkield’s address Miss F. E. Cum mings, of Baltimcre, rendered a solo. Ex pressions on the meeting in three.minute speeches followed, and fully half cf those present participated. Rev. Clair then pro nounced benediction, and the conference was finally adjourned.

The yourg woman who offered herself at public sale was disappointed because her offer was misunderstood. I wonder Just what she expected from that rather bold, distinctly flippant, and vain inventory of her attainments, her charms, and wants? She certainly was unfortunate in her use of the term “white glave,” which kas come to a wholly disreputable meaning, and was unwise in bringing her per sonality into the thing at all, unless she was seeking just what she has secured— notoriety. She may bave secured an advantageous business offer through her unusual advertisement, but it is where her notoriety will count mere than her talents. 1 heard a hard-headed man of business cast suspicien upon the attainments of wiich she ooasts so loudly by declaring that probably she was getting all she was worth in a ten-dellar-a-week salary, and his opinion may be that of other man of his class. At all events, thy suspicion has been voiced, and that is sig nificant. Can you imagine a womanly woman coolly enumerating her charms to a crit ical world? How can one be sure that mirrors are truthful er that one's owg judgment is correct? My ideas of beauty often elash with those expressed by somebody e¢lse, and personal charm dogs not exist for everybody. The law of at traction works in a singular fashion, and fascination is often lost upon both men and women. I am afraid that the average person would be a bit skeptical of a flattering personal description sent out by any person. 3 kd nu I am certain that there are more delicate methods of improving ouc¢'s financial condition. Real ability ought not to 50 begging for a very long time—it rarely does, as 2 matter of fact. But in cases where opportunities do not come they can be made by a steady exercise of will and judgment. Failure comes, in nine cases out of ten, through lack of push, self-depreciation, or sensitiveness, as men and women confess, when they are perfectly just with themselves. g y I was once taken to task by a young women who did not agree with these sentiments. She offered good examples of misplaced workers, but there were no means of knowing the obstacles in their path. 1 can cite scores of cases where merit has won its reward, but I know little of the methods which these fortunate Gnes empleyved. 1 do not believe, however, that they were overbold, for such an altitude carries the risk of offense.

THE COUNTERSTROKE AMBROSE PRATT, AUTHOR OF “VIGOROUS DAUNT, BILLIONAIRE." CHAPTER XV. The Doom of a Mouarch. Lerd Francis ‘had come upon the earth. He lighted the lamp, and finding himself stiff and chill in spite of Desire's rugs, sprang every drop of Ul dark, but some er consciousness smartly paged the floor, He breakfasted on the remains of his last night's supper, and then sat down to await the advent of Desire with whatever patience he could gather. His watch had stopped, therefore time had lost mean ng for him, and hours as mo ments passed with indifferent dulness. He discovered soon an anxiety to explore the place, to search and pry into those dark holes that opened on the chamber in which he was and whose segrets his lan tern failed to penetrate for more than a paltry distance. But he simply dared not risk such an undertaking yet, fearing to get lost, and he determined to ask the lad on his next visit to obtain for him a ball of twine so that he might make some record of his journeyings and be ‘able to return to his siarting point at will. 1 i

It seemed to him that many hours had passed when Desire at last arrived, but he experienced no surprise on being made aware that another whole day had un rolled its score upon the book of time. The boy's news was sad. Miss Elliott was very ill; indeed so ill that the count's physicion was 'n éonstant at'endance upon her, She had become delirious and was constantly raving, calling wildly on some one to save her father and “Frank.” She no longer recognized anyone, and was in the midst of a sharp attack of brain fever, Cressingham listened with misery un speakable, but Desire soon wandered off to other themes. His father had arrived at the chateau, and now two yachts lav at anchor in the bay, Mme. Viyelia had further ingcensed her husband by paying open court to her old lover, and it seemed that the Count d’Atiala took a savage pleasure in assisting events and stirring up the passicps of his guests. The boy later on suggested that Cress ingham should return with him to the boatshed, for an hour or two, there be ing no fear of any interruption, as a con ference had been arranged between the three nikiliet chiefs in the count's rooms, which of necessity required the count's presence, Cressingham very gladiy agreed, and it was with feelings of real satisfaction that he left the dreary cavern and found him. self once again in the boathouse, Desire ne longer worked upon his metai plates; he was now engaged in preparing fresh ajioy, and as that required only the pay ing of intermittent attention to two small bronze furnaces, he was at liberty to] converse with his protege almost at his| ease. Crestingham wandered about for a while peering into things and asking questions to which the boy returned shert and guarded answers; but there was a method in his quest. He presently found a large twisted roll of twins, and this, during one of Desire’'s moments of ocou- pation, he concealed beneath his walist =oat, for he did not want to ask Desire to Yelp him too much, as he feared the lad night prove to have seruples if he learned for what purpose he required the cord. Cressingham took a seat at last and surveyed his eompanion criticaily. “So vou are a nihilist, Desire?” he gaid abruptly. The lad colored a little and laughed con. strainedly. “I wouldn't be if I could help i it,” he replied. “Why not?” “I don’t like them or their ways,” “You don't like the idea of being cruel to people, of murdering creatures you have never seen and who have done you ne wrong?" “That is it.” Desire looked up with bright and fearless eyes. “Do you know, my lord, when I get to England I Intend to give it all up, to escape it if I can? Do you think T could? England is a big place, Isn't it; not lime i's little island? Do you think T could hide so that they would not find me?” “Y think so,” said Cressingham with a fleeting smile; “you must come and live with me, I shall protect you, I am a rich man, Desire.” “So am IL" said the lad. “Ah, you need not laugh. JT showed the abbe; he laugh ed, too, at first, but after he had seen, that is what he said.” “What did you show him?” “My jewels. 1 took them from grand father's chest. He had so many he could never miss them; indeed, he has never missed them, but I did not know they were valuable at the time. I took them Just te amuse myself with, they are so beautiful.” “Show them to me, will you?” The boy looked at him keenly. “I won't rob you,” laughed the man. Desire fiushed hotly. “I was not think. ing that,” he cried, “I was thinking that perhaps I should return them. They are really grandfather's, you know.” Cressingham shook his head. “Your ee rs i A grandfather is not worthy such considera tion, lad; he is one of the wickedest men on earth.” in the afternoon, and only some women possebs the skill as well as the inspira “Is it not wrong to take—to steal from the wicked, then?" The boy's words were without an afterthought; he asked the question simply from the depths of an incomparable innocence. Cressingham met his pure inquirng eyes and felt quite a thrill as he looked. Answer he could find none for a moment, but then he said; “It is wrong to steal from anyone, De sire.” n the dark that night. to divest himself i fashionable drink, cousing, thin bread and butter, or freshly {iments to tea that is treated to cream cavern and that he When he awoke, ft] toasted muffins, are the correct accompan and sugar, and the only brand of tea that cream perfectly agrees with is English Breakfast. “Then I shall put the jewels back to morrow.

With possibly a dash of rum. “1 always try,” said Desire. Cressingham felt in his heart a sudden giow of eager hope. “Listen, boy,” he said; “listen attentively, for I am going to try to show you, make you understand, a great enance that has come into your life to dv a great good to the world.” “Yes, my lord.” “You know the objects which this ter. rible society to which you belong has in view?" “Pardon me,” interrupted the boy; “I know what you would say, I think, but the abbe taught me all that He wanted me to help him to kill my grandfather, and afterward escape with him. He told me that by doing so 1 shoulé rid the word of a monster and carn the gratitude of nations and of kings.” “Ah! “l thought that he was right. I felt te was right In here'’—(he pointed to his heart)—"and I tried to bring myself to do what he advised, but I could not, my lord; I had not the power. I do net love grandfather, but somehow, even when he beats me, I could not even try to harm hm.” Cressingham was silent. and the lad cortinued, gpeaking almost apelogetical ly: "You see, my lord, I have alwayz lfved with him, and sometimes he has been kind 10 me. Besides, I have never heen able to harm any one or any thing. When grandfather has any of the negroes flogged, it hurts me almost as much, I am sure, as it does them, and their cries ring in my ears for days. I always have to run away,” In spiie of his keen disappointment, Cressingham could not help feeling 2 sincere respect rise in his heart for this sSirange, sweel-nitured boy, who had grown up pure and good amidst a fester ing mass gf evil and of crime. “I should not have asked you to kill your grand father, Desire,” he said quietly. “Only to help Miss Eillott and me to escape and to yeurse!f accompany us. Then we should be able with your help to frus trate the count's diabeile purposes, and perhaps, nay surely, save the lives of great and good men whom he hates be. cause of their goodness and his own wick. edness.” The boy shook his head. “Y would love 10 escape,” he said, “but that is not pos gible.” Cressingham pointed to the silver boat: “Not with the help of that? Even with out engines, with oars and a sail we coud manage,” Desire blushed at this, and muttered in a low voice, his eyes on the floor: “I scarcely like to tell you, sir. Speak, Desire.” “You may think me foolich and wicked.” “No, I promise uot to. “Well, ever since you spoke to me last night, I've heen thinking of what vou said. I know yeu are right and kind and good, and I am wrong ana wicked, al thought IT want terribly te do what you say, but can't, because" “Well “Because he trusis me” "Trusts you, does he? Didn't he take the plates from you, then?” Desire gasped: “Yes, but I have the key of the portcullis; if he had really ceased to trust me, hed have taken that first.” Cressingham almogt groaned. “Have you given him your word?” “No: 1 wouldn't mind se much if he had asked me for that. He just trusted me because ae felt he could. I couldn't disappoint him, ceuid 1, sir?” “You ought to, Desire, if you really desired to do right. If, say, you had promised to kill a man, would you keep your word?" “No; but that is net trust not silent trust.” “If by keeping that trust my life is sacrificed, what then? The boy got slowly to his feet and answered gravely: ‘I should be sorry, my lord—" Ah!" “But if mv own life were to be sacri ficed as well as yours, I would still de the same, because I could not de any thing ¢lse.” “You are hard, my boy; hard and ob stinate.” Desire drew himself suddenly erect and! walked immediately to the tunnel doer. which he threw wide. “You had better return, sir, to the cavern,” he said coldly; you cannet mss it if you take the first turning to the right. Your lamp and food are there. 1 shall visit you to-; morrow." “Why this sudden change, Desire?” The boy's lips trembled, but he stared! Cressingham straight in the eyes. “Look vou, my loved,” he said; “I have spoken! to you just as I used to speak to the abbe, and told you all about myself Just as I am, because you asked me. I can-| not help myself; I am as I was made and cannot alter. But because J cannot bring myself to do what vou want, you! insulted me and called me names.” At this he gave a great sob, and to Cres singham's utter amaze broke down and wept like a veritable girl The man was entirely nonplussed, and for a time could only stare silently nd the boy's shaking fizure. He watched his chest heave up and down with big choking sobs; he saw the tears trickle through his fingers and fail to the ground in a perfect stream. Quite un nerved by the sight, he tried to soothe him with muttered apologies, but Desire seemed heart-broken and wept on unre. sesvedly. Cressingham patted him on the shoulder with one hand and passed his free arm round the boy's slender body, marveling to find how elight he was and lithe. Then with a sudden gasp of sheer astorishinent he star ed back, in a lash of light a dozen mysteries having heen explained to him. Desire was a 1!

During the week one snatches a cup wherever on happens to be~in a friend's house, in a downtown cafe, or an uptown tearoom.

Sone one accused her of munopelizing the men one day, and she replied with uneonscious truth: “Why, it is not I it is the tea” Only the crudish taste will select a sweet morsel to eat with a cup of iea, “Cater to the masculine taste when you set oul your tea-table, and you will not faii to please the women,” advises one authority. There is a goed deal in this advice, for women are not what they once were in thelr greedy love for soggy eclairs, and rum cakes and pasty wafers.

This diplomat was so universally liked, and his marks of favor, in the way of gifts, were so liberally distributed, that society flocked to the Chinese Legation, Once there, they drank tea, and the most celestial tea imaginable, that tasted like the “heated breath of lotus flowers” and was fragfant as a poppy garden. Min ister Wu was an indefatigable visitor, and, although he liked Washington punch, he never refused a cup of tea from the hard of a hostess, Aaliernoon tea has long been served at! the British Embassy, and gradually most of the other embassies and legatious fell in line with thig charming custom. What is fashionable in the home of a society woman speedily becomes a pub lic demand. The best hotels, recogniz ing a new fad, were soon drawing patrons for afternoon tea. A palm room, a dimly lighted corridor, and a little table tucked away in the corner of a softly lighted dining-room are all cozy invi-| tations to women to enjoy a half hour over the teacups. On Connecticut avenue there are two charming retreats from which a sight of the promenade throng on a bright after. noon can be enjoyed te the aceompani ment of fragrant tea. In the neighbor hood of Lafayette Square are several tea. rocms dear te feminine hearts, and quite the most attractive one in town was opened Saturday in the second story of a well-established inn on H street, It goes by the name of the “Lounge,” and s a very artistically appeinted resort, with subdued lights, mahogany furniture, rare china, Turkish rues, palms, and cozy corners. This will be the winter Mecca for boarding-school girls who are allowed to visit such a tearoom unchaperoned on Saturday afternoons.

Why, it has even crosced the ocean and returned home without shipwreck. It represents $40 worth of stamps to me, not to mention nine gallons of ‘midnight of’ and $8 worth of typewriting. But its journey isn't ended yet—mot vet! I'm taking it to a tailor now, te have it cleaned and pressed, and the ragged edges trimmed, and then I'll give it another whirl!”

T. Goro Nosse, Consul General to Canada, Is Net Alarmed. 1 Ottawa, Oct. 25—The Hon. T. Goro Nosse, consul general for Japan to Can ada, with headquarters at Ottawa, said to-day no official communication con cerning the education difficulty which had arisen between Japan and the United States had passed through his hands. All the information he has comes from the papers’ dispatches. Therefore, he was unable to give any official view of the question,

Mr. Nosse, however, said it seemed to Lim from what he had read, that the idea of strained relations between the two countries had been much exaggerated. He had heard it stated that the affair of the refusal of educational facilities to Japanese children 4n California, would lead to an open breech between Japan and the United States, This Mr. Nosse scout ed as simply alarmist talk. There could be no question of war over a question such as this, in which the United States government itself was showing deep con cern and regret.

-_ i i i i “Perhaps,” said Nosse, naively, and with a certain icuch of pride, “the world has not heard much of us for two years and the newspavners would like to hear of us again.” 1 i

Mr. Nosse is looked on as the most im portant Japanese official in Canada and had much to do with the recent favorable preferential measures aliowed by Japan to Canada in matters of trade. He has done a great deal to increase the de miinion’s exports of {lour, butter, &ec., to Japan. He evidently does not anticipate war.

RECORD SALES OF TOBACCO.

Loose Product Disposed of at Lynch. hurg Amounts te 900,000 Pounds.

Special to Tue Washington Herald.

Lynchburg, Va,, Oct. 28.—~The sales of loose tobacco on the local market during the past week broke all records in Lynch burg for any week in the month of Octo ber, aggregating nearly 900,600 pounds. The heavy breaks were caused by the firing of the tobacco and the desire of many of the planters to unload rather than run the risk of losing their crop, or being put to the expense of caring for it during the damp weather. i should expect to see rising prices for se

The receipis for the week were $79,000 pounds, an increase over last week of $45,800 pounds. The total sales since the opening of the season on Sepiember 1 are 1,477,299, an increase over the same period last year of T3400 pounds. it can be called such, Is, in Sher words, ionly of temporary character, and is a sort of penalty that we have to pay for our ta movemen stantial pros; The present The prices that prevailed last week ruled about the same as for several weeks,

The most encouraging development of the week, according to technical standards,

‘was the fact that before the market opened on Monday orders were received by stock exchange houses in larger volume than has been witnessed in Wall street for ‘a long thine to buy stocks at or g little below the average range of prices quoted ‘on the Saturday before. The fall In the market, instead of inducing further lqui ‘dation seemed to provoke buying on the ‘part of the public. On the other hand, It appeared clear that the public for the time being was not willing to “follow the advance” in the market when prices prime vieorously and that as soon as the short interest had been eliminated prices were inclined to recede. There was pothing of a partienlarly adé verse nature during the week in the iin folding of the meney situation. Six per eent has been bid for all grades of time money since the advance in the Bank of England's discount rate, and for time meney for ninety days, that is to say, for

“over the end of the year,” 6 per cent and a commission amounting to about i per cent extra are generaily paid. “Call money rates were distinctly weaker eg one end of the week to the other, ‘bank renewals being made on stock ex change loans each day usually a little lower than on the day preceding. Secre tary Shaw's action in allowing the na tional banks to substitute other security than that of government bonds for $i8, 000, 0) of public money now held by them, upon the condition that they will increase their note circulation in like amount by means of the government bonds thus re leased, will no doubt be heipful te the money market. Shaw's Plan Praised.

It was the consensus among bankers here that Secretary Shaw acted wisely in not putting money in the banks directly and in keeping the Treasury hoard intaee for use in a possible later emergency. By means of this action $18,000,000 wiil be add ed to the amount of money available for the country’s uze: and the step taken is a very creditable one on the part of Seore ‘tary Shaw, There is no denying that the sagging tendency which in the main governed the stock market last week was due to some extent to real liquidation, although in general it was fo be accounted for in the conviction that spread among the trading element that financial interests of the first rank were willing to encourage any movement for the rise in values until] cur rent monetary and political uncertaintics had been cleared away. There was, there fore, a good deal of hammering of the market, with the view of catching stop loss orders and to stimulate selling by un easy holders of stocks of small financial resources. On one or two days during the week there scemed to be a definite effort to create an election =care that was not. however, highly successful. As has been stated, the money situation during the week suffered no appreciable changs. Financial affairs, not only in our country, but throughout the world, are passing through that period of strain which is almost invariably felt in the fall of each year, and goes in England, France, and Germany, as well as in our own land, as the resait of necessities incident to the gathering of the harvests and the season's trade.

Underestimate the Demand. It is perhaps conceded that financial in terests, both here and abroad, underesti maled this year the amount of money that would have to be withdrawn from the leading financial centers for the pur pose described, This is the time of the year when, more than any other, actual money is needed in circulation, and busi ness throughout the world is now more active than ever before known. It is clear that the last straw on the camel's back, so far as 1he directors of the Bank of England were concerned, was not only overlending to this country, but with drawals of gold from the bank for ship ment to Egypt {hat were very much larger than any one had anticipated.

The movement of money from our East ern cities to the West and South for the crop moving exceeds all previous records, despite the fact that the bank coffers in the agricultural aistricts, or at least in the West, gre more abundantly filled than they ever were; and the idea seems to ob i 3 i

tain that this movement of money wési ward and southward will go on through cut the greater portion of the re of the year. After that time, of course, domestic exchanges will once more turn heavily in favor of the Eastern cities, and there will be a plethora of money here ‘during the winter and early spring; and I ra I FR IN Re I Eee Tl RT we rity ol upon the THE WASHINGTON HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1908. prices, there is no one who has the slight est familiarity with Wall street affairs who is not aware of the fact that they are steadily buying securities whenever these are offered at conceesiong, For these men appreciate far more keenly than do the great majority of investors and specula tors how firm and deep the foundations of prosperity are in this country. and how brilliant is the promise of the business fu ture of the twelvemonth to come. Neither, It may be said. is there the slightest ex pectation in these quarters of anything like a serious decline in prices during the present vear

Pennsylvania Road Makes Fores casting Dividends 'mpossible, Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. B.—In view of the discussing of a possible increased divi dend by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the road makes public its method of declaring ail its dividends, This policy derives rather special interest from the fact that the company has never failed to pay an annual cash dividend to its stockholders. For many years it kas been the fixed policy of the road for the direciors to re fuse to discuss the question of dividena until all the reports were completed and submitted to the board.

When these figures have been made up, meetings of the finance committee and of the board are called. The former meets at 11 o'clock, goes carefully over the state ments and determines upon {ts recom mendation to the board as to the rate of the dividend to be paid, based upon the earnings of the previous six months. This committee continues in session until 12 o'clock, when, without leaving the room, the members appear before the hoard of directors, which meets at that hour. The report is then considered, and the necessary action is taken by the board in declaring the dividend. Thus there is no chance for any leak of information or for any one or more of the directors to know what the dividend will be, and the announcement is given to the public im mediately alter the adjournment of the board. Any atiempt, therefore, to fore cast the dividend rate for any given six months is merely guesswork. COTTON COMMISSION REPORTS. English Experts Say Farmers Can Garin hy Rotating Crops, The report of the Lancashire Private Cotton Commission, which came to the United States last ‘spring to investigate the cotton Industry of the country with a view to making recommendations as to whether English cotton men should buy land and raise thei own cotton, has been received in Washington. Officials of the Department of Agri culture are much interested in the re port, the summary of which concludes with the statement that, in the opinion of the commissioners, it would not be bazardeus for the English to buy land in the cotton belt and raise their own cotton, it The report pays much attention to the manner in which the cotton growers, farmers, and planters carry on their work, and Secretary Wilson Is particu larly well pleased with the commission's announcement that much better cotton crops could be raised if the farmers were content to rotate their crops and not at tempt to raise cotton on the same land all the time. The Secretary declares his department has long tried to teach the farmers this, and Dr. Knapp. an ex pert, is kept in the field all the time to instruct the farmers. Ginning, baling, transport, and market ing are discussed at considerable length by the report. TRACTION COMPANIES SCORED. Many Accidents in Chicage Charged to “Criminal Economy.” Chicago, Oct.

OPPOSING JAP LABOR

Fight Begun by California Unions Years Ago. ORIENTALS IN GREAT DEMAND Law Providing for Scgregation of School Children Passed at the Ine stance vf the Laber Men—Attempin to Drive the Japanese Out of the Various Sections of the Stute, From the New York Sun, The fight waged by organized labor against the Japanese on the Pacific Coast, in Hawaill and Alaska, which has now developed into an international matter, has been of about ten years duration and of a scope much broader than the pres ent difficulty over the exclusion of Jap ancse children from San Francisen's schools Indicates, The Japanese govern ment doubtless has been advised before this time of the character of the labor campaign against its citizens, but has awaited this last manifestation before taking action, A law passed by the legislature of Cali fornia five years ago providing for the segregation of all Orientals into separate schools is the only legislative acy that the organized labor party has been able to invoke In its fight, The rest of the cam paign has been carried on unaided, Before the entrance of the Japanese into the labor field of California and the northern Coast States began to be serious ly felt, their presence in the cane fle.us of Hawail and the fish-packing plants of Alaska was taken by white laborers as a menace. In Hawall the labor situation became acute last year, when in one in stance the Japanese field hands on a plan tation on Oahu became £0 incensed at the effort of organized labor to oust them from their work that a week of rioting followed and the militia from Honolulu had to be hurried to the scene. Most of the sugar plantations in Hawali are worked on the subcontract system. The contractors, hired directly by the owners to cultivate and cut the cane, par cel out their acres to Japanese subcon tractors, each of whom is the head of a gang, very much after the order of the padrone sysiem in the Southern States. This system, begun about ten years ago, has proved so profitable that now all the great plantations in the islan.s are worked by Japanese, to the exclusion of other laborers, and the immigration of Japanese coolies has been yeariy greater, save during the period of the Russo Japanese war, Padrone System in Use, In the fish canneries of Alaska and the Columbia River region of Washington the Japanese padrone system of Hawail has been of late years successfully duplicated. Several thousands of Japanese are now employed in manual labor of the lowest order involved in cleaning, cutting, ana packing the salmon. Their wages are paic by the subcontractor and are lower than the wages formerly demanded by white labor. The number of white labor-. ers empioyed in the fish-packing plants has steadily decreased. In California the Japanese labor first sought the [fruit fields, and it is in w.e work of cutting, drying, and packing fruit that the unorganized, ununionized Jap has the most strongly intrenched himself. In this fled tue padrone sys tem is not in use; the manager of the fruit ranches deals directly with the in dividual Jap laborer at a lower wage than that demanded by white laborers. In the raisin-picking district througn out the San Joaquin valley region, in the citrus belt of Southern California and in tbe apple country along the footniils, the Japanese have been growing more numerous each year. Yet the labor field has not been monopolized by the Nip ponese, as is demonstrated each year when the ranch owners are hard put to it to get laborers of any color to pick their fruit. The cther fields of unskilled labor in vaded by the Japanese are those of sec tion work on the railroads, clam and abolone digging along the coast. and house service. In the latter occupation the Japanese have beef engaging in greater numbers yearly. Most of the Japanese house servants are young men who attend school between meal times ard sit up over their books every night. As a class they have been found more efficient than the average Swedish or German girl from the employment office. The Japanese house servants usually ask smaller pay than that given other serv. ants, out of consideration for the faet that they are absent from their duties certain hours of each day. The average pal" of a Jap boy is from $15 to $5 a month; the girl from the employment agency gets $30 and more. Invasion of the Cities. In the cities the men from the Orient OWN nonunion restaurents, they run non union barber shops and even de nonunion carpentry work and jobbing, In Sun Francisco from time to time the unions have boycotted the Jap restaurants, put sandwich men in front to ward off cus. tom, and even resorted in some instances «0 violence. The Japs are not recognized as eligible to join the unions, nor would they do so if they could, each individual being, as a matter of fact, the member of some far cider and far more powerful trade union in his own land. The organized labor protest against the brown men in California began first in the fruit “industry, and there it is still the strongest. No attempt to reason the Japanese out of work at a nonunion wage has ever been made, und (he only recourse has been intimidation. In Fres no, one of the greatest fruit conters of California, there have been frequem armed clashes between the whites and tie Japs, resulting from an attempt on the part of the white laborers to drive the little fellows out of town, One Japanese was beaten to death there last fali, and no arrests were made, As San Francisco grew to be the strong est union town in the United States there followed a unionizing of the legislature of California. The Union Labor party ap peared In San Francisco politics eight vears ago, with the election of Schmitz as mayor, and has remained in the field. sending delegates to the legislature ond setting the lead for other touns through out the State in making organizeg labor a factor in politics, Efforts to Secure Exclusion. The legisiature of Califernia at present is very near a union labor party, though Herrin, the Southern Pacific boss, stil} is able to swing things his way by a narrow majority. Schmitz, the Union Labor mayor of San Francisco, is a strong gubernatorial possibility tour years hence. The whole municipal government of San Francisco is union labor, and has bash for eight years. The president of the San Francisco board of education, which Las decided to enforce the dead law of five years ago for the segregation of Orientals in the schools, was once president of the Musicians’ Union, as was Schmitz, This organized and intrenched union party in politics, acting through an or ganization known as the Japanese and Corean Exclusion League, recently sent a query to the California Senators in Washington asking them how they stooa

The government has cared for them in a manner different than in the cases of other Indian tribes.

MRS. TERRELL'S VIEW Colored Woman's People Di vided Over Her Course. IS DEFENDED BY MINISTER Comments Called Forth Because of Her Statement that Cardeozo’s Dis missal Should Not Canse Sd Much Agitation—Race Feeling Cngen dered by Her Interview, as published in The Herald of I'riday, in which che defends herself in her attitude regarding the dismissing of Supervising Principal F. L. Cardozo by the school board, has attracted much attention, and the colored people are greatly divided on the question. Mrs. Terrell says that the fact that Cardozo is a colored man does not mitigate thie fact that he was disloyal to his superior officers, and that as a member of the board she Is in duty bound to support Superintendent Chan cellor. Rav, S. G. Lampkin, colored, pastor of the West Baptist Church, and editor of the Washington Banner department of the Christian Banner, defends Mrs, Ter ‘rell, while a communication from Alrs. A. 'F. Freeman ecores Mra, Tarrell for her pos. sition.

SAYS MRS. TERRELL IS UNFAIR fommunication trom One of ler Race Attacks Her Motive, Editor Washington Herald: LaLer WM aGsaag lon aciang, The recently published statements of Mrs. Mary CC, Terrell relative to the dis missal of Supervising Principal Cardozo and her attemdt to justify the treatment of the “poor man,” together with her eon denmation and aspersions of the "negro agitators,” leads me to believe that she, in her own cstimation, at least, iz so far removed from the race which she is sup posed to represent as to totally misunder stand them asd to be oul of touch with then. Perhaps if Mrs. Terrell were more in touch- with the niasses of the mee to which LI ‘negro agitators” belong. she would not he quite so fearful of their be ing misled in school matters by the so calied “agitators.” She would Know that a- large number of them read the papers for themselves, form their own opinions, and presume even 80 far 2s to form opinions of her acts as a member of the school board, and to criticise them. In addition to being able to form opinions of their own, strange as it may seem to Mrs. Terrell, they have memories also. They remember when the elder Cardozo was removed from the principalship of the M Street High School; Mrs. Terrell’s appoint ment to that position, and Mrs. Terrell's subsequent retirement from the school board. In the cases of Prof. Clarke and Mrs, Cooper, wag it ber loyalty to Dr. Chancellor that caused her to vete for their dismissals as her loyalty to him cansaed her to overlook the fact that the charges against Prof, Cardoze were not substantiated, EET pe—— FIRE PROOF STORAGE. ON ESL It has been generally understood that Dr. €hanceijor was in favor of ihe reten tion of both Mrs. Cooper and Prof. Clarke. We are not questioning the fairness and Justice of Dr. Chancellor, but believe that hie has been ill gdvised. eT While I am in no sense onc of the "agi tators,” still T think if she will specify how and by whom the money taken from the “poor and needy’ at the public meet ings have been squandered, she will be do. ing a public service and some good to the race which she thinks so easily led. 1 think #f Mrs. Terrell once understands that it is not the question of race with us, but matter of justice and principle as to the causes of those dismissals, and the

wthods by which they were made effec tive, and that the people are thoroughly in earnest in opposition to such methods, the will fn future save herself such fu tile apd pitlable outbreaks as appeared in her Interview of the 5th inst. i

Some quaint systems of theology were present. ed. Certain tribes of Luzon have two sets of supreme deities, each pair of the divine families being supposed to work half the time. Others have a god for each point of the compass. Mr. Kirk also spoke of human sacrifice, and the in fluence of the Moslems and Confucius on the early religions of the Philippines. “The influence of the Catholic Church, he said, hos been for the prozress of civilization in the Philippines, in that t taught the fear of God, and in the fear of God,” says Mr Kirk, “Is the be. ginning of wisdom.’ After Mr. Kirk's address the members of the league entered into philosophi cal discussion of religion from its ecarii est manifestations to its forms and ex vrescions in the present dav.
