Fitting the historical importance of the event the exercises were made impressive by the participation of the heads of each of these republics. Fol- Jowing addresses by President Roose- velt, Secretary Root, Ambassador Na- buco of Brazil and Andrew Carnegie a cabled timent expressing the hearty approval of each president was 0 Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop ranston onounced an invocation | and benediction on the work done and the United States marine band ren- dered selections of Pan-American mu- sic specially prepared for the occa- sion. The new building is to be the joint property of all the republics. The site, provided by the American con- gress, consists of the historic old Van Ness home, the first pretentious man- sion erected in Washington. It faces the Mall, is within a few hundred yards of the White House and ad- jacent to the slate, war and navy buildings and the Corcoran art gal- lery. Three-quarters of a million dollars towards the construction of the build- ing is the contribution of Mr. Carne- gie, while each of the republics has added an appropriation to the fund. The building is to be the home of the international bureau maintained by the American republics and is to be made the center of a continuous cam- paign of education, where one coun- try may obtain accurate and up to date information of every other. A library on all subjects American is to be develeped and a propaganda main- tained intended to bring all Amer- ican governments nearer together through intimate acquaintance. GAMBLING KNOCKED OUT. Congress Takes Action Affecting Dis- trict of Columbia. Washington, May 12—The final ac- tion of coengre: toward abolishing betting on horse races at the Ben- nings tla(k and prohibiting gambling rict of Columbia was taken hou:e, under suspension of ed (o the senate amend- uie biil, which, as intro- the widening of ments duced, provided for Bennings road and the anti-gambling provision was inserted as a rider. The usual roll call was avoided. Mr. o Williams (Miss.), the minority leader, remariked that inasmuch as it was a meritorious measure he would not in- sist on a roll call. The vote prac- tically was unanimous. Following is the text of the gam- i bling provision as now accepted by both houses: “It shall be unlawful for any person or association of persons to bet, gam- ble or make books or pools on the re- sult of any trotting or running race of horses, or boat race, or race of any 1 kind, or on any election, or any con- test of any kind, or game of baseball.

Itis claimed by those who have seen the animal work, that he is the smartest and cleverest trick horse before the public today. Col. Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) pro. his age in the world. Hamilton is| really a wonder of the equine world, having been but eight months old and only under training for five months when he was put in vaude- ville six weeks ago. He is creating a sensation. With almost human in- telligence, he selects colors, strikes a match and lights a lamp, does sums in arithmetic, plays sick and retires adjusting his own pillow, and - ar- ranges the sheets and pulls them up around his neck. To every manifes- tation of applause Hamilton gravely bows his appreciation. He is east- ward bound from the coast and has drawn big houses all the way from Frisco. In conjunction with the above there will be the usual up-to- date pictures and illustrated songs, which are always appreciated by the patrons. Bemidji sees plenty of good vaudeville but this week’s bill at the popular little house will be way above the average and bound to please. vidlaflng the provislons of thls sec- tion shall be fined not exceeding $500 or be imprisoned not more than nine- ty days, or both.” Latterly there was no opposition to the bill by the Washington Jockey club, which owns the Bennings race- course, and it is stated by one of the members of the club that it will mere- ly move the track a quarter of a mile across the Maryland line, where it is stated an even better course can be procured. WILL APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT Business Men Oppose Oppose Freight Rates. Chicago, May 12.—President Roose- velt may be asked to use his good eoffices to prevent advances in freight rates. With the announcement by Eastern railroads that rates east of the Mis- sissippi river will be increased an average of 10 per cent manufacturers and shippers have been stirred to ac- tion. The reason given by the rail- roads for advancing freight tariffs is “to evable them to meet operating ex- penses.” The freight traffic committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce, representing 3,000 business men, will meet shortly to pass a resolution pro- testing against the advance. At the same time the National Industrial Traflic league, the largest institution of the kind in this country, will take slmilar action at a meeting at the Auditorium hotel. The manufacturers of the West will hold a conference on Friday, called by the Illinois Manufacturers’ asso- ciation. Representatives of the rail- roads will be asked to attend this meeting. Out of these three great movements it is considered likely that a strong committee wili be appointed to go to Washington to ask President Roose- velt to use his influence with the in- terstate commerce commission to pre- vent the freight rate increase. Increase in HEADGUARTERS OPENED. Preparations for Republican National Convention Begun. Chicago, May 12—The presiding officers of the Republican national convention will be chosen at the meet- ing of the national committee this week. Chairman Harry New of In- dianapolis has arrived in Chicago and the headquarters of the committes were formally opened. Secretary El- mer Dover of New York also has ar- rived and with Sergeant-at-Arms Stone will take up the work of pre- paring for the convention. The meeting of the sub-committee in charge of the convention is sched- uled for Wednesday and it is at this meeting that the temporary officers of the convention will be named. Senator Beveridge, Leslie M. Shaw and Senator Dolliver are the candi- dates whose names have been most prominently mentioned. The places of the secretary and chairmen of the | various committees have not been de- termined upon. This matter will be the main fea- ture of the meeting of the sub-com- mitttee of the national committee and will take up most of the time of the two days’ session. It is expected that the officers of the convention will be named by the end of this week. TO RESTORE PROSPERITY. Association Asks President’s Aid Furthering Plans. Washington, May 12.—A committee from the National Prosperity associa- tion of St. Louis called on President Roosevelt to urge his aid in further- ing their plans for encouraging the return of prosperity throughout the country. The committee found the president cordial in his treatment and frank in his expressions of willing- ness to aid them in every way pos- sible. A short speech was made by E. C. Simmons, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the association, which was responded to by the presi- dent. Other members of the commit- tee were F. G. Wade, Edward Devery, F. B. Wiberg, J. BE. Smith, W. K. Bix- by, Murray Carleton, George A. Meyer and Jackson Johnson. VOTE TO G{) ON STRIKE. Street Car Employes Insist on the’ “Closed” Shop. Chicago, May 12.—The strike vote | taken by the North and West Side street e men resulted in a prac- i tically unanimous vote in favor of a walkout. The balloting marked the | |largest vote ever cast in the history of the Sireet Car Men’s union in Chi- jcage. Approximat 4,500 men, mem- {bers of division No. 241, embracing |the men employed on the North and West Side street car lines, voted. Of {that number fewer than 200 votes were cast against a strike. | The matter now goes to a meeting of the union for further action. The question of “closed” or “open” | shop is the point around which the | eatire difficulty revelyes. GAVALRYF!IAN RUNS AMUCK United - States Trooper Trooper Kills or Wounds Six Comrades. Manila, May 12.—A telegram re- eeived by the adjutant general an- nounced that Private Mike Beacham of the First Uniled States cavalry ran amuck, killing three and wounding three of his comrades, one mortally. The dead are First Sergeant William Hoey, Private G. Wilson and Rrivate Thomas Woodward. Private Edward Woodward was fatally wounded. All the killed and wounded were members of Troop F, First cavalry. Details of the tragedy are lacking, but it is presumed that Beacham was insane when he committed the deed Racers Will Make New Start. Tokio, May 12—The American competitors in the New York to Paris automobile race have arrived here and left later on their way to Vladivostok. Here all the cars will meet and make B new start. The American contest- ants say they are 1,200 ‘miles in the | ble, lead. Regulate Express Business. ‘Washington, May 12.—After a thor- ough investigation the interstate com- merce commission, in a report trans- mitted to the senate, recommends that all express companies and their agents be prohibited from dealing on their own account in commodities transported by express, but that ex- press companies be permitted to con- linue their present methods of con- ducting interstate business through their order and commission depart- ments, subject to such restriction as will prevent discrimination. z=ca = WANTS Governor Johnson in Washington. ‘Washington, May 12.—Governor Johnson of Minnesota has reached here to attend the meeting of the gov- ernors as guests of the president. From here he will go to Philadelphia and thence to Richmond, Va., where on May 21 he will make a speech. From Richmond he will make a hur- ried trip to the University of Ala- bama. Uses Coffin for Pulpit. Pittsburg, May 12.—Standing in a coffin, clad in the robes of the dead, Staff Captain Trovet of the Salvation Army preached on “After Death, What?” to a room crowded with deni- rens of the slums at the Penn Ave- nue barracks. Of all spectacular per- formances to attract the sinful Tro- vet's performance outclassed all previ- ous efforts. B Praving His Motto. “Well, sir,” exclaimed the millionalre, “what do you want this morning?” “I've come again to ask for your daughter,” said the poor but ambitious young man, “Haven't I told you six times over on as many different days that it is out of the question? What do yov mean by bothering me in this way? You are making a nuisance of your- gelf!” “If 1 seem to be more persistent than circumstances warrant, I must insist that you, sir, are to blame.” “Me!” shouted the indignant old man. “I don’t understand you.” “There,” said the man who loved his daughter as he’peinted to a motto over the banker’s de:fk, “is my excuse for coming here day after day, ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again.’ Do you believe in that sentiment, or have you put it up there simply to de- ceive people?” After he had scratched his head awhile the mean old plutocrat said: “Yes, I believe in that. I haven’t succeeded yet in making you under- stand that-my daughter shall not be- come the wife of a fool, but I am going to keep on trying till I do! Good morn- ing!” And that time he did it.—Strand Magazine. What the Cat Had. The teacher of the Sunday school class was telling the little boys about temptation and showing how it some- times came in the most attractive form. She used as an illustration the paw of a cat. “Now,” said she, “you have all seen the paw of a cat. It is as soft as vel- vet, isn’t it?” “Yessum,” from the class. “And you have seen the paw of a dog?” “Yessum.” “Well, although the cat’s paw seems like velvet, there is nevertheless con- cealed in it something that hurts. Whnt Is it?” No answer. “The dog bites,” sald the teacher, “when he is in anger. But what does the cat do?” “Scratches,” said a boy. “Correct,” said the teacher, nodding her head approvingly. “Now, what has the cat got that the dog hasn’t?” “Whiskers!” said a boy on the back seat.—Home Magazine. Bible Blunders. Some curious errors have crept into the Bible at various times, giving names to the editions containing them. Here are some instances: The “Un- righteous” Bible, from the misprint “the ‘unrighteous’ shall inherit the kingdom; the “Placemakers’” Bible, “blessed are the placemakers’” (peace- makers); the “Printers’” Bible, “the ‘printers’ (for princes) have persecuted me;” the “Treacle” Bible, “Is there no ‘treacle’ (balm) in Gilead?’ the “Vin- egar” Bible, “the parable of the ‘vine- gar'” (vineyard); the “Bug” Bible, “thou shalt not be afraid of ‘bugs’ (bogies) by night;” the “Breeches” BI- “they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves ‘breeches;’” the “Idle” Bible, “woe to the ‘idle’” (idol), and finally the “Wooden Leg” Testa- ment, so called from the frontispiece depicting Satan limping with a wooden leg. Just a Fish Story. We cannot refrain from recording the most curious capture of a fish that has come to our notice. The circum- stance was retailed many years ago by Mr. Heathcote, one of the great au- thorities on the fens. A Mr. Richard- son of Peterborough was skating on the dikes when the ice was very clear, and he noticed a large pike swimming in front of him. The fish was terrified by the apparition and swam in front of the skater until it stopped from sheer exhaustion. The skater broke the ice and took out the fish with his hand, which proved to be a pike weighing twelve pounds. It is a story difficult even for a fisherman or a local histo- rian to cap.—London Outlook. Not Disturbed. Nassau William Senior, the English political econcmist, was a frequent guest of Lord Lansdowne at Lans- downe House and on one occasion was busily writing, quite abstracted as usual, in a room full of company when Tom Moore was singing. The scratch of his pen was not am agreeable ac- companiment, and at last one of the company asked very politely, “You are not fond of music, Mr. Senior?” *“No,” he replied, “but it does not disturb me in the least. Pray go on.” Careful About Worry. A physician was recently attending a patient whose husband came to see him concerning her condition and greeted him with the words, *“Mr. Irving, do you think there is any need for any unnecessary anxiety about my Wwife?’—Argonaut. The Amenitics of Oysters. One of the most profound remarks ever made by that profound philoso- pher, Thackeray, was when he passed two tubs of oysters side by side, and he saw one was labeled “1s. a dozen” and the other “ls. 3d. a dozen.” He ex- claimed, “How those oysters must hate each other!” ‘Well, “even an oyster may be crossed in love,” and William Dean Howells has another tale to tell anent the psy- chology of the oyster. At one of the little suppers that’the poet Longfellow gave to the brilliant Cambridge circle James Russell Lowell paused with the pepper box poised above his plate of oysters to say whimsically, “It's as- tonishing how these fellows love pep- per.” “Dear me! You don’t say so!” ejacu- lated.a nice, prosy old gentleman who used to sleep through the suppers. The temptation was too strong to be resist- ed, and Lowell was fairly launched into an account of how a red pepper accidentally dropped into a basket of oysters had been drawn out with half a dozen of the bivalves clinging to it when the ever gentle Longfellow inter- posed to save his matter of fact old friend. Grandma’s Destination In Doubt. Ethel is of the mature age of five. Recently her grandmother concluded that it devolved on her to instruct the child in religious matters. “You must be a good girl, Ethel,” she sald. “Then you will go to heaven when you die.” Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with this reward for exceptional conduct. “Don’t you want to go to heaven?’ asked grandma with a look of re- proach. “Oh, I don’t know,” temporized Ethel. “I guess not.” “Why not?” demanded grandma se- verely. “Because maybe I couldn’t get out,” answered Ethel. “You wouldn’t want to get out,” re- plied grandma. “Oh, yes, I should,” returned Ethel with conviction. “No,” argued grandma, *“you would not. Why should you want to get out of heaven?” “Why,” answered Ethel, “I guess I'd want to go and see you once in awhile, wouldn’t: 1?”—Woman’s Home Com- panion. Identified. Although straws usually tell which way the wind blows, occasionally even the proverbial straw proves mislead- ing. Previously to entering the railroad yards an ablebodied loafer picked up a small, glittering object from the side- walk and, without examining it very closely, pinned it to his coat. Three minutes later he collided with a slowly moving freight train, was hurled Egainst a post and picked up insensi- le. The train dispatcher, notified by tele- phone, called up Patrick Doyle, the yardmaster's assistant, and said: “You'd better search his pockets, Doyle. Find out who he Is, notify his friends and report to me.” A few moments later the report came: “There’s not a line of writing on him,” said Patrick, “but we've ldentl- fied him by the badge on his coat. He’s a Lady Maccabee.”—Exchange. Confucius as a Poet. For those who want to know some- thing of the poetic abilitles of Con- fucius, the Orient Review publishes some translations from a collection given to the Chinese world 500 years B. C. One of these is called “The Bride Cometh:” The turtfleflave dwells in the magpie's nest. One cometh as a bride to be caressed. A hundred carriages have gone in quest. The magple’s home the young dove hath possessed. This lady cometh as a lifelong guest. A hundred chariots on the road have pressed. The turtledove shall fill the magple's nest. She travels far from home to love and rest. A hundred carriages her rank attest. One Service Barred. A famous London barrister was upon cook tried for murder, being accused of having poisoned his master. The bar- rister after a most able and brilliant defense of the culprit secured an ac- quittal. The cook, anxious to show his gratitude, said, “Tell me, sir, whatever can I do for you to reward you?’ The triumphant counsel answered, “My good man, do anything you can, but for God’s sake don’t ever cook for me!” Honest Graft. “Jones made the best part of his money by grafting.” “Why, I thought he had such a high reputation for honesty.” “So he has. He must graft, though, for he keeps a fruit nursery.”—Balti- more American. Curiosity. If you want to find out how busy men are, paint a red ring on your door. Bvery man who passes will stop to find out what it is for and then wait until the next man comes along that he may tell about it.—Atchison Globe. Trollope’s Recipe For Novel Writing.
