PSALM OF AMATEUR GARDENER. [By “Doc™] ‘Pell me not in mournful number Gardening’s an cmpty dream: It:you coo to your cucumbers They will promp'ly puton stean. Shun the gardening that's taddish Culiivate the saner way: Coltsfoot planted with hovseradish Never will evoke a neigh Never try if you can wheedle Garden sass out of its bed: Don't sew string beans with a needle. Thinking that they will grow thread. Grieve not when your sweet potatoes Greet you with a bitter smile; Fret not over slow fomatoes— They will ketchup after while. ‘When the oyster plant is growing And the egg plant is, as well, Each from each you may be knowing By the cackle or the shell.

Philadelphia Diocese Celebrates One Hundredth Anniversary. Philadelphia, April 23.—With all the splendor of the ritual of the church and with prelates from many sections of the country in attendance a solemn pontifical mass of thanksgiving was celebrated in the Roman Catholic cathedral here in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the diocese of Philadelphia. Car- dinal Gibbons, Archbishops Ryan of Philadelphia, Farley of New York and 0’Connell of Boston and about twelve bishops occupied seats in the sanc- tuary during the mass. Mgr. Dio- mede Falconio, the apostolic delegate to the United States, was the cele- brant and priests attached to the cathedral were deacon and sub-dea- con. The sermon was preached by Bishop Garvey of Altoona, Pa. The music of the mass was rendered by the students of the Overbrook sem- inary, assisted by the cathedral choir, which was augmented for the occa- sion. Despite the fact that admission to the mass was by card thousands gath- ered about the cathedral in Logan square in the hope of being admitted. The blg cathedral was crowded when the services began. The procession to the cathedral of the dignitaries, clad in their rich vestments, and the other clergymen was impressive. More than 500 priests of the Philadel- phia diocese led and were followed by several hundred visiting priests and members of various religious orders. The bishops, archbishops, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan and Mgr. Falconio brought up the rear. WILL BE BUILT AT ONCE. Navy Department Asks Immediate Ap- propriation for Battleships. Washington, April 23.—On esti- mates supplied by the navy depart- ment Senator Hale, chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, has introduced an amendment to the naval appropriation bill appropriating about $6,000,000 for the immediate com- mencement of work on the two battle- ships, the torpedo boats and other vessels provided for in the bill. The appropriation for next year’s work on these vessels was omitted by the house on the theory that some time would be required for the preparation of plans for the new vessels and the sen- ate committee on naval affairs ac- cepted the bill as it came from the house. Now, however, the department has decided to construct the new ves- sels on the plans of those recently built and _an appropriation to be im- mediately’ available will be asked. WAR ON NIGHT RIDERS. Kentucky Officials Formulate Plans for Vigorous Campaign. Frankfort, Ky., April 23.—Acting un- der orders of Governor Willson Adju- tant General Johnston has formulated plans for a vigorous campaign against night riders. Troops will be assem- bled at Cadiz, Trigg county, to gatfer in all offenders against whom war- rants have been issued. The selec- tion of Trigg county was made after information had reached the military department that men from there have been ringleaders in barn burning. DEATH OF BARNERMAN Former British Premier Had Been Ailing for Over a Year. KNEW HIS END WAS AT HAND Aged Statesman Had for Some Time Fully Appreciated His Condition and Realized That His Recovery Was Improbable. London, April 23.—Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman, former British pre- mier, is dead at his official residence, 10 Downing street. The end was peaceful. The death of Sir Henry, after a lin- gering illness of more than two months, did not come as a surprise. Although the doctors’ bulletins had not declared his condition critical that fact was perfectly understood and the public had been expecting the an- nouncement of his end at any hour during the past fortnight. In the death chamber when the ex- premier breathed his last were his niece, Mrs. Campbell, who had acted as Sir Henry's host since the death of Lady Campbell-Bannerman a little more than a year ago; Dr. Burnet, who was Mr. Campbell-Bannerman’s personal physician and who had been in constant attendance during his long illness, and Sir Henry’s butler. The ex-premier had been uncon- scious most of the time during the last two or three days and his sinking was gradual. A few hours before his death telegrams were dispatched to PREMIER CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN King Edward, who, with Queen Alex- andra, is visiting the Danish royal family at Copenhagen; the Prince of ‘Wales and the cabinet ministers. Im- mediately newspaper reporters were keeping vigil before the house of the dying statesman, but the only news handed to them was in the form of a bulletin more than an hour after his death. A few minutes thereafter a crowd assembled in Downing street, but all persons were barred from ap- proaching the house by a cordon of police. Sir Henry’s final illness dates from Feb. 12, when he last appeared in the house of commons and moved the closure of the Scottish land bills, al- though he had been ailing since Nov. 13, 1907, when he participated at an entertainment in honor of Emperor ‘William at the Guildhall. On Nov. 14, after addressing a political meeting at Bristol, he was seriously stricken with heart weakness and later influenza was added to his heart trouble, bring- ing on his fatal illness. The ex-pre- mier fully appreciated his condition and realized that his recovery was im- probable. AID HURRYING FORWARD. Russian Reinforcements Sent Into Per- sian Territory. Tiflis, April 22.—On account of the threatening situation on the Persian frontier and the urgent demand for reinforcements received from the commanders of the Russian forces in that district 2,000 men have been sent from here into the disturbed territory. These reinforcements will take sev- eral days to reach the scene of hostil- ity, which is sixty miles from the nearest railroad point through a diffi- cult country. No further news from the comman- ders of the detachments at Belesuvar and Shirin, which are menaced by the Kurdish brigands, has been received here, but information has come in that communication along an important trade route running southward from the Caspian sea into Persia has been interrupted by an uprising of the ban- dit population. As a result caravans are afraid to venture out of Lenkoran, St. Petersburg, April 22.—News has been received here to the effect that the Persian brigands who advanced to attack the Russian forces in Persian territory were driven back with heavy losses and retired to the mountains. The Russian detachment from Bele- suvar has again advanced a short dis- tance into Persian territory, where it awaits reinforcements. DONE BY GUARD OF CADETS Shooting in Guatemala in Which Pres- ident Cabrera Was Wounded. Mexico City, April 23.—The shoot- ing at Guatemala City, during which President Estrada Cabrera was ‘wounded, was done by cadets of the Polytechnic institute, according to ad- vices received here from Guatemala. The cadets had been selected to act as guards of honor during the return of the new American minister, Major William Heimke, and opened fire as the president entered the palace. The dispatches from Guatemala state that several members of the presidential party were wounded, one or two fa- tally. The president himself received several wounds, none of them serious. The dispatches state that eight cadets were executed immediately after the shooting. SALOON FORCES WIN. Local Option Question ‘Voted on in Nlinois Towns. Chicago, April 23.—The saloon forces were generally successful in the forty or more towns and villages of Nlinois which voted on the local op- tiorr question. Definite figures are lacking in many cases, but it seems certain that not more than 100 saloons were voted out of business, the larger communiiies almost without exception voting to retain their licensed dram- shops. Cairo, the largest city in which the question was an issue, gave the saloons a majority of 3,352. In Cook county twelve of the vil- lages bordering Chicago balloted for or against the liquor interests. In only one, however, was there a change from previous conditions, Barrington geing “dry” by a small plurality. Ten others voted to retain their saloons and one decided not to admit the dramshops. Child Strangled to Death. Spring Grove, Minn., April 23.—The ten-year-old son of J. A. Schulte be- came entangled in the hay rope in his father’s barn and strangled to death. The little fellow was trying to make a swing out of the hay rope and stood on the beam and fastened the rope to the rafter, when in some way he lost his balance and fell, the rope becom- ing entwined around his neck. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. The president has signed the em- ployers’ liability bill. The pension appropriation bill has been reported to the senate. It car- ries §163,053,000, an increase of $12,- 184,000 over the amount appropriated by the house. Samuel R. Shipley, formerly presi- dent of the Provident Life and Trust company of Philadelphia and a well known financier, is dead after a long illness. He was eighty years old. The emperor of Japan, through Am- bassador Takahira, has conferred upon Colonel Charles A. Boynton, superin- tendent of the Southern division of the Associated Press, the decoration of the fourth class of the Imperial Order of the Rising Sun. Bishop Ellicon Capers of the Protes- tant Episcopal diocese of South Caro- lina is dead at Columbia, S. C. Bishop Capers was seventy yvears of age and had presided over the diocese for fif- teen years. He had been secretary of state of South Carolina, brigadier gen- eral in the Confederate army and held other positions of rank and influ- ence. Three Children Burned to Death. Huntington, W. Va., April 23.— Three children of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Brumfield of Lincoln county were cre- mated in a fire which damaged their home. Brumfield, who discovered the fire, aroused his wife and leaped from a window to the ground with her in his arms. She was severely injured. The three children, all under twelve years, sleeping in another room, were burned to death before they could be rescued. ASTONISHES SURGEONS. Location of Organs in Body of Aged 8t. Louis Man. Baltimore, April 23.—Surgeons in Johns Hopkins hospital during an Wtopsy on the body of Judge John E. McKeighon of St. Louis were aston. ished to discover that instead of the usual setting of the organs, those in the body were scattered about in al- most unbelievable ways. His heart was turned in a position the reverse of normal, his kidneys were united by a ligament in the shape of a horseshoe, and the liver was upside down, with the gall blad- der on top. Many of the smaller or- gans were a chaos of entangling cords and fatty substances. How Judge McKeighon lived with such a strange transposition of the organs of his body appears marvelous. Surgeons are mystified at it. Wheth- er he was born with his organs in ab- normal positions or they were put in this state through disease or some freak of nature is not known. MARKET QUOTATIONS.

The following article, taken from the Pittsburg Press, describes the re- sults of L. T. Cooper’s visit to that city, and the effect of his new prepara- tion as told by people who had become convinced of the soundness of Cooper’s theories with regard to the human stomach, . Cooper believes that the human stomach in civilized races has become greatly weakened. He claims that most ill health of the present generation is due to this fact. The article is as fol- lows: “L. T, Cooper is meeting with the same astonishing success in Pittsburg 8s in other cities. For the past few days many thousands of Pittsburg peo- ple have called at his headquarters to talk with him, “Cooper’s prophecy, made upon his arrival, to the effect that before he left Pittsburg thousands would realize that his theory is correct and would come and thank him for what his medicine had done, is rapidly being borne out. “On Monday an astonishing number of people called to express their grati- tude to Mr. Cooper. Judging from ‘what some of these people had to say Cooper’s claim that the human stoms ach is degenerate is distinctly verified. ‘One of the most unusual statements ‘was made by Mr. C. W, Woods, of 103 South Highland Street. , He said: ‘For four years my wife was in very poor health. She was weak and thin, with a hectic flush and cough. Physicians said she had consumption, and I was inclined to believe them. It certainly, looked as though her days were num- bered, and there appeared to be very, little ground for hope, A “*Shortly after Mr, Cooper came to Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful results that had been obtained by per- sons who had tried his medicine, so I got some for my wife. She had taken it only two days when she was relieved of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be gan to improve immediately—has gain- ed seven pounds since she began tak- ing the medicine. She feels splendid and looks very. much better. If any one doubts this statement I would be pleased to have them call at my house and verify it.”” The Cooper coming justly famous. remedies are be ‘We sell them. ‘2 a Press reporter, when interviewed, |—E.
