| ~ rrosuents Laugnior. When President Grant's only daugh ter, Nellie, afterward Mr rtoris, was a miss of twelve years, she at- tended a private school in Washington. One afternoon, ys the author of “The Olivin Letter Nellie's lessons were not learned. The carringe came for her, but the teacher dismissed it with the request that it should return at the end of a half hour. The half hour came and glided away with the lesson still unlearned. The carriage came again and was dismissed. At the end of the second half hour the lesson was committed, and Mlss Nellie was per- mitted to go. The next day at the usual bour the young lady arrived, ac- companied by ber mother.

This course will have my sincere approbation.” Reached the Limit. A Providence girl, who has been married about six months, had wed- ding s a short time ago from ai old school friend who had given her a wedding present, which, of course, de- manded one iu return. Among her wedding presents the Providence girl had duplicates in the shape of two sil- and in a spirit of econ- ded to give one of these It was marked with her . but It would be only a matter of a few minutes to have them removed and the proper monogram cut. She took it to the jeweler and explain- ed what was to be done. He picked up the tray, looked at it closely and smiled. “Madam,” said he, possible. I have already initials on this same tray five times, and it has worn so thin that I cannot do it again without cutting through the bottom.”—Providence Journal. “it will be im- changed the Fears Realized. For years the old country couple had looked forward to spending a holiday in London, and one day they found themselves in the very busiest part of the city. Together they stood watch- ing the traffic, to which there seemed no end. They did not know how to cross the street. “Whatever you do, Liza, don't git separated from me,” said the old man to his wife, “and, whatever you do, don’t cross the road without me.” Then a’kindly constable came along and, seelng the old woman hesitating, took her by the arm and commenced to pilot her to the opposite side. “Dang my buttons,” cried out the old man in alarm, “I allus told 'er that some one wud take a fancy to ’er, but I didn't think any one ’'ud ’ave the im- perance to take ’er afore my very eyes!"—London Tit-Bits. Had a Slow but Sure Gait. There have been numerous disap- pointments in the outcome of some of the boys. We remember one boy in particular who was the butt of all ridi- cule from the boys of his age, and he took it good naturedly. He seemed to have no particular friends and herded by himself. His clothes always looked funny, and he had that awkward swag- ger over which the rest of us had much sport. No one ever thought that that plug would ever get anywhere or have anything. But today that plug is drawing a better salary than any two of the old gang. He has more money, more influence and more friends than any of the rest of us. The plug had a galt that was slow, but it was sure. He didn't appear to be a bit bright then, but he had a surface that took on a polish.—Westphalia (Mo.) Times. Yet He Didn't Need Them. He had been calling on a young lady for many moons; but, being backward, his suit progressed slowly. Finally she decided it was up to her to start some- thing, so the next time he called she pointed to the rose in his buttonhole and said: “I'll give you a kiss for that rose.”” A large, open face blush meandered over his countenance, but the exchange was made. Then he grabbed his hat and started to leave the room. “Why, where are you going?” she asked In surprise. “To the—er—florist for more roses,” he exclaimed. Dangerous Ignorance. If his son came to him and said, “I want you to show me on a piece of pa- per how this house is drained and why such traps are used,” could the average cltizen satisfy that son? Of course he could not. A few might be able to do 80, but the average man is an ignorant person on all questions of hygiene.—G. H. R. Dabbs, M. D, in C. B. Fry's Magazine. All Hers. “I'm told,” said Miss Pepprey, “that your bride is very pretty.” “Yes, Indeed,” replied Mr. Con Seet. “Several of the guests at the ceremony were pleased to call it ‘a wedding of beauty and brains.’” “Really? She must be a remarkable ‘woman to have beauty and brains too.” ~—Philadelphia Press. He Listened to All Fontenelle listened to everything, and he offended no one by disputing any- thing. At the close of his life he was asked the secret of his success, and he replied that it was by observing two maxims, “Everybody may be right” and “Everything may be so.” The true strength of every human soul Is to be dependent on as many nobler as it can discern and to be de- pended upon by as many inferfor as it ~an vaarh —_Rnckin A Lasting Impression. “Well, Bertha, I hear you met Mr. Cooke yesterday.

PERMANENT COURT FAVORED Tribunal at The Hague to Be Open at All Times to the. Nations of the World for Settlement of Disputes Not Adjustable by Diplomacy. New York, April 18—The National Arbitration and Peace congress has adopted its platform or resolutions, recommendirg among other things that The Hague conference shall here- after be a permanent institution; that The Hague court shall be open to all the nations of the world; that a gen- eral treaty of arbitration for ratifica- tion by all the nations shall be draft- ed by the coming conference provid- ing for the reference to The Hague court of international disputes which cannct be adjusted by diplomacy; that the United States government urge upon the conference action look- ing to the limitation of armament; that the conference extend to private property at sea immunity from cap- ture in war. The resolutions speak highly in praise of :President Roosevelt, Secre- tary Root and the prime minister of Great Britain for the stand they have taken in favor of a settled policy of peace among the nations. The resolutions were adopted with a few minor changes as to wording just as they came from the committee which had had their preparation in charge. There was a debate continu- ing over two hours, however. Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood of Washington de- clared that the speakers on the plat- form were “trying to have it all their own way. Dr. Benjamin F. True- blood, chairman of the committee on resolutions, declared it had been im- possible to incorporate in the brief congress all of the one thousand and one suggestions and ideas which had come from various sections of the country. He saild the committee had tried to adhere strictly to the purposes for which the congress was called and to practical ideas on the propaganda of peace. THE BALLOT FOR WOMEN Rev. Anna Shaw Says It Would Insure Universal Peace. New York, April 18.—The extension of sufirage to women is regarded by Rev. Anna H. Shaw, president of the National American Women’'s Suffrage assoclation, as necessary to a speedy reallzation of the hopes of advocates of universal peace. This sentiment was expressed by Mrs. Shaw in an address before a conference of the women’s organizations engaged in peace work, which was held in con- Jjunction with the National Peace con- gress. She referred to the ballot as a weapon of civilization and declared that “when women get the ballot priv- ilege they will think twice before they vote their sons to death.” She said that in her opinion the highest type of patriotism is not the man who says “my country, right or wrong,” but one who says “I prefer my family to my- self, my country to my family and humanity to my country.” The plan to introduce rifie practice into the public schools, which has been announced by the National Rifle association of America, was con- demned. SAID TO BE A FAILURE. Railroads May Abolish Recently Es- tablished Clearinghouse. Chicago, April 18.—After less than a three months’ trial the railroads are considering a proposition to abolish the American railway clearinghouse, which was established to facilitate the movement and distribution of freight cars and to prevent further car short- ages and freight congestions. A meeting of railway presidents has been called for next Monday to deter- mine what shall be done with the or- ganization, which was launched with great hope of results and which some roads now declare to be a failure. The threatened end of the clearing- house is said to be caused by the de- fection of the St. Paul and of the Northwestern railroads. The clearinghouse was established late in January by Arthur Hale, who was taken from a high position on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and given charge of the movement. Offices were secured in the Grand Central station and now more than eighty people are employed there. The bu- reau is costing the railroads approxi- mately §$4,000 a month and some of them assume to say it has not re- turned 4 cents a month in value. Eighteen Thousand for an Arm. St. Paul, April 18—A verdict for $18,000—the largest amount ever awerded in Minnesota, it is said, tor the loss of an arm—was given by a district court jury to George E. Stiles in his suit against the Northern Pa- cific Railway company and Walter Henricke, engineer of the train that caused Stiles’ injuries. Consul Accused of ‘Smuggling. Boston, April 18.—Michael Latros, until a week ago Greek consul at Low- ell, Mass., was held to the federal grand jury by United States Commis- sloner Hays on a charge of conspiracy against the United States government in smuggling aliens into the country. MAKES GENERAL DENIAL. Reply of Defendants in Mary Baker Eddy Suit. Concord, N. H., April 18.—A general denial of all the allegations of the somplainants in the suits for an ac- tounting of the property of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, filed March 1, was the legal answer made by the defendants ! named in the original action. The specifications in the original ! bill are that Mrs. Eddy is and for a long time has been incompetent to do expression of the -sentiment of the, business or to understand transac- tions conducted in her name; that the defendants whose answer has just been filed, with other leaders of the | Christian Science church who were named in the original bill, have pos- sessed themselves of the person and property of Mrs. Eddy and have car- rled on her business; that on account of Mrs. Eddy’s infirmity these persons are bound to give account of all trans- actions undertaken in her name and that the defendants have wrongfully converted property to their own use. To these representations the de- fendants filed specific and detalled de- nial, declaring also that they have no knowledge of many of the allegations of the complainants and demanding that the complainants furnish proof thereof. They also declare that they have reason to believe that the bill of complaint was not biought by the plaintiffs in good faith, but that the “so-called n@xt friends” have been in- duced to loan their names at the in- stigation and at the expense of “cer- tain evil minded persons, who are furnishing money for the prosecution of the bill of complaint for their own evil purposes and to advocate their own selfish interests.” DEATH LIST IS INCREASING Details of Mexican Earthquake Coming in Slowly. City of Mexico, April 18.—Owing to the remoteness of many small towns in the afflicted regions it will be some days before the complete reports of the damage done by the recent earth shock are all in and the total number of deaths will probably never be known. According to the latest available In- formation from various points in Southern Mexico, which are yet mea- ger, the death list as a result of the recent earthquake will aggregate thirty-eight persons and the list of in- jured will total ninety-three, although when complete reports are received it is expected that both the list of dead and wounded will be greatly aug- mented. Chilpancingo, with incomplete re- ports, shows twelve persons dead and thirty wounded. Chilapa reports four- teen dead and thirty-nine wounded. Tixtla reports twelve dead and twenty- four wounded. Besides the destruction of the cities of Chilpancingo and Chilapa it is now reported that the city of Tixtla, be- tween the two cities above named and containing about the same population as Chilpancingo, was also leveled to the ground and messengers from the coast who have reached Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayutla and Ometepec have been wiped off the map. EARTHQUAKE IN EUROPE. Shocks Felt at Constantinople and Elsewhere. Constantinople, April 18.—An earih- quake shock was felt here and in the suburbs at 4:30 a. m. It was espe clally sharp in the upper part of the Bosphorus. Madrid, April 1S.—Severe earth shocks were felt during the day «t Tortosa and St. Murcia. Much dam- age was done, but no casualties have ‘been reported. - Askabad, Russian Transcaspian Ter- ritory, April 18.—A severe undulatory earthquake occurred here at 12:26 p. m. and lasted five seconds. GERMAN PRESS IS WARLIKE Discusses Proposed Meeting of British and Italian Rulers. Berlin, April 18—King Edward’s approaching meeting with King Victor Emmanuel! of Italy is attracting much attention in the German press, which comments on the event as being an effort to isolate Germany and win Italy away from the triple alliance. An article in the Cologne Gazette in this sense is being widely discussed, because it is believed to have been inspired from Berlin. The writer says public opinion in Germany sees in King Edward’s course an attempt to disturb the European equilibrium, which is calculated to awaken misgiv- ings regarding his armament proposal, and flnally warns Great Britain that “war with Germany would be danger- ous for any opponent or any coalition of opponents.” This sharp language is interpreted by the Tagliche Rundschau as mean- ing that the German government has grown weary of the “English game of hide and seek and the comedy of peace and disarmament.” At the foreign office, when attention was called to the Cologne Gazette's article, it was stated that it expressed only the editorial opinion of the pa- per; that the German government was in no way responsible for such views and that the government officials would have taken steps to prevent their publication if they had been known in advance. The foreign office does not see any reason for disquiet in connection with the meeting of. the kings of England and Italy, since Italy knows that her independence is better guarded by being a member of the triple alliance than if she is thrown wholly upon Anglo-French support. Great Britain's predominant position in the western part of the Mediter- ranean is fully recognized by Ger- many, which has no interests there. Labor Demonstration Planned. London, April 18.—Workmen recent- Ily discharged from Woolwich arsenal are preparing for a demonstration April 22 in the form of a march on the houses of parliament, with bands and banners, to impress their griev- |ances upon the government. War Secretary Haldane’s scheme for reduc- | g the military expenditures has re- sulted, incidentally, in the loss of em- ployment by several thousand skilled 1 Workers. TOFORCERECIPROCITY Jystematic Effort by European Countries Apparent, i FRANCE TAKES FIRST STEP Issues Decree Imposing Maximum Du- ties on Coffee From the United States and Porto Rico, a Serious Blow to Our Island Dependency. ‘Washington, April 18.-—Although notice of the issue in Paris of a decree imposing the maximum dutles on cof- fees imported from the United States and Porto Rico has not yet reached the state department the officials were fully prepared for some such action, having been informed in the course of the correspondence which has been going on for the past six months that it was contemplated. The reason for the issue of the decree is said to be dissatisfaction of the French govern- ment at the failure of the United States senate to act upon the French reciprocity treaty which has been pending before that body for- several years. Added to this, it is said, is a suspicion on the part of the French government that the negotiations now in progress between the United States and Germany relative to the tariff upon American goods imported into Germany conceals some advantage to be bestowed upon German trade with the United States in which French trade is not to share. This decree Is regarded. as the beginning of a sys- tematic effort to bring such pressure to bear upon the American congress, through the imposition of restrictions upon the American export trade, as will force the whole subject of reci- procity upon its attention at the be- ginning of the next session. The state department officials fear that this French action is but the precursor of similar attacks upon American trade by other nations of Continental Eu- rope. No serious damage is expected to result to American trade from this last decree because there is little traf- fic in coffee at any time, but it 1is feared that the effect will be disas- trous to Porto Rico, which at present finds almost its only market in France for its coffee now that the Spanish market is closed by e(cesslve duties. PRESIDENT WILL DECIDE. Question of Attempi to Break Up Har- riman Combine. ‘Washington, April 18.—President Roosevell proposes to take into his own hands the determination as to whether an attempt shall be made to break up the Harriman railroad com- bination and has come to the conclu- sion that it is his duty to study the case from beginning to end. The president has been placed in a position of antagonism to Mr. Harri- man and on that account he i§ partic- ularly desirous that no step shouid be taken by any department of the government in such a way as to leave the impression that it was the result of personal hostility on the part of the president himself. To satisfy himself as to the exact situation the president proposes to read all the testimony taken by the interstate commerce commission on this subject. Then he will have a conference with Attorney General Bonaparte and will ask the head of the department of justice to apply to the facts the president submits to him the general law in the case and par- ticularly that laid down by the United States supreme court in the Northern Securities case. All this will take time and it will involve an immense amount of per- sonal labor on the part of President Roosevelt. FIRST JOINT BALLOT. Wisconsin Legislature Votes on Suc- cessor to Spooner. Madison, Wis., April 18—The first ballot of both houses in joint session for United States senator to succeed John C. Spooner resulted as follows: Bird (Dem.) 24, Esch 19, Lenroot 19, Cooper 19, Stephenson 17, Hatten 16, Baensch 6, Winkler 3, Estabrook 1, Hudnall 1, Whitehead 1 (all Repub- licans; Rummel (Social Democrat) 5, blank 1. For Lack of Jurisdiction. Springfleld, I1l, April 18.—The su- preiue court has dismissed the suit of the state of Illinois against the Illi- nois Central Railway company for an accounting and recovery of the state's alleged share of gross receipts of the railroad. In dismissing the suit the court gave leave to the attorney gen- eral to withdraw the suit and file either in the circuit or superior court. All Testimony Is In. ‘Washington, April 18.—Testimony in rebuttal and sur-rebuttal, intended to clear up a number of unimportant details, was taken during the day in the trial of Binger Hermann for de- stroying public records and both pros- ecution and defense rested before the luncheon recess of the court. Canada’s Permission Not Asked. Ottawa, Ont., April 18.—Hon. W. S. Fielding, acting premier, has informed Mr. Borden, leader of the opposition, that the United States government had not asked permission to take the protected cruiser Detroit from Boston by the St. Lawrence waterway to the Great Lakes. SITUATION IS GRAVE. Moors Resent French Occupation of Oudja. Tangier, Morocco, April 18.—A menacing French naval demonstration s taking place off Mogador and the general situation is grave owing to the resentment of the Moors over the French occupation of Oudja. Native opinion is unanimous that France is seeking to pick a quarrel with Morocco in order to make further annexations of territory. In the meanwhile the country is swarming with “provocative agents.” *| general staff to e. it The above dispatch comes from the regular correspondent of the Assoct- ated Press at Tangler, who is a mem- ber ‘of the coasular corps there, and therefore it may be looked upon as being almost ofticial. Cubans Opposed to Army Plan. Havana, April 18.—Opinion here 18 opposed to the p of the American blish a Cuban reg- ular army of 12,000 men to replace the rural guard. It is stoted that it would be diffcult to recruit that number of men. CAUSES A SENSATION. Filing of a Petition in Spokane Ter- minal Rate Hearing. Portland, Ore.,, April 18.—A sensa- tion resulted in the Spokane terminal rate bearing before Interstate Com- merce Commissioner Prouty when an amended and supplemental petition in intervention was filed by J. N. Teale, attorney for Portland jobbing inter- ests, which appear as interveners in the action. The petition asks a radi- cal adjustment of all rates from coast points to the interior and alleges that present freight charges are exorbitant and unjust. Commissioner Prouty said he feared that the petition would introduce a niew issue into the hearing and pre- ferred not to go into a general rate revision at this time. At the same time he allowed the petition to be filed with the defendants, who are three transcontinental railroads enter- ing Spokane. These transportation lines now have two foes to fight. Joining hands with them in opposing Spokane terminal rates are the coast jobbers. But should Spokane win her case then-the former allies of the railroads will turn against them and fight for reduction eastward as well as west. The supplemental petition in inter- vention is signed by H. D. Loveland, president of the Pacific Coast Jobbers and Manufacturers’ association, and Rdmond Giltner, acting for the Port- land chamber of commerce. DUEL OVER A GIRL. One Italian Kllled and the Other Com- . mits Suicide. New York, April 18.—After a quar- rel over a girl to whom both were pay- ing attention, two Italians fought a duel with revolvers in Ozone Park, Long Island, as a result of which one of them, Buoa Piandiano, was instant- ly killed. Vincenzo Cica, the other duelist, was found hiding in a closet in the home of his victim. As the po- lice burst in the closet door Cica shot and killed himself. The two men had been close friends until they disagreed about the young woman. Farmer ed by Youth. Sioux Falls, S. D., April 18.—Andrew Sundt, a farmer whose home was about three miles from Thompsons Grove, near Baltic, north of Sioux Falls, was accidentally shot and al- most instantly killed by Willie Thomp- son, the ten-year-old grandson of John Thompson, a well known pioneer. The boy, with a companion, was shooting at a mark with a 22-caliber rifie when unknowingly Sundt got within range, the bullet entering the back. BRIEF BITS OF HEWS.

MONEYSTILL MISSING: Alleged Express Robber Under Arrest at St. Paul. PACKAGE OF $25,000 GONE Prisoner Has Been lIdentifled as the Man Who Held Up the Office, but He Declares He Knows Nothing of the Affair or the Missing Cash. St. Paul, April 18.—Fred Zimmer- man, clerk of the Northern Pacific Ex- press company’s office at the Union depot was held up and robbed of $25,- 000 while alone in the office. Zimmer- man says the robber was John Gun- derson, a former employe of the com- pany. ing been captured by detectives sev- eral hours after the robbery. The stolen money has not been re- covered, but the police hope to soon get possession of it. that the package containing the money has heen “planted” and that either the police will soon locate it or that Gunderson will weaken and disclose its hiding place. The officials of the express company, in company with Chief O’Connor, had an interview with the prisoner and even promised him immunity from prosecution if he would ’ tell where he had hidden the cash, but Gunderson denied all knowledge of the theft, although he has been identified by Zimmerman as the man ‘who held him up. Gunderson was a member of the Thirteenth Minnesota and did service in the Philippines. He has been in the employ of the Northern Express company for about eighteen months, holding several positions of trust. He has handled large sums of money for the company and was always faithful.
