Falling In Love. I do not doubt that as the world goes on a deeper sense of moral responsibil- ity in the matter of marriage will grow up among us. But it will not take the false direction of ignqging-these our profoundest and holiest instinets. Mar- riage for money may go, marriage for rank may go, marriage for position may go, but marriage for love, I be- lieve and trust, will last forever. Men in the future will probably feel that a union with their cousins or near rela- tions is positively wicked; that a union with those too like them In person or disposition is at least undesirable; that a union based upon considerations of wealth or any other consideration save considerations of Immediate natural fmpulse is Lase and disgraceful. But to the end of time they will continue to feel in spite of doctrinaires that the voice of nature Is better far than the volce of the lord chancellor or the royal society and that the instinctive deslre for a particular helpmate Is a surer guide for the ultimate happiness both of the race and of the individual than any amount of deliberate consul- tation. It is not the foolish fancies of youth that will have to be got rid of. but the foolish, wicked and mischie- vous interference of parents or out- siders.—Grant Allen.

REVIEW S SCHOOLCHILDREN Driven for Miles Through Lines of Enthusiastic Youngsters, Who 8ang Patriotic Songs and Waved Amer ican Flags in His Honor—Lunches as Guest of Commerclal Club and Witnesses Ball Game. Chicago, Sept. 17.—President_ Taft arrived here, smiling his appreciation at a vociferous welcome and the flaw- less weather. A dense crowd, re: strained by perfect police arrange- ments, was at the temporary depot at Fifty-fifth street, where the president alighted, and stretched for fifteen miles along the route his automobile was scheduled to travel. No sooner had the president shaken hands with the members of the recep- tion committee than he was turned over to a much larger one represent- ing the various departments of Chi- eago's business and professional life. Thirteen automobiles awaited the arrival of ‘the precidential party. These were entered and twe hours’ review of the school children began. { Then for miles the president bowed ! and smiled and waved his hands to the enthusiastic youngsters, who sang patriotic songs and waved American flags in his honor. The president’s delight at the unique demonstration showed plainly in his face. Stirred to Hearty Chuckles, The school yells of the young people frequently stirred the president to hearty chuckles. The line of review produced practically an uninterrupted roar of shrill cries, ranging from the ireble of the little freshmam and the uncertain squeaks of voices at the changing period to the rears of the seniors. Girls as well as boys partici- pated in the uproar and they bore the burden of the singing. At 12:45 p. m. the president reached his hotel and retired for a moment’s f |.rest before taking the seat of honor | at the Commercial Club’s lunch. He was in the best of voice and spirits and looked a fine, tanned picture of good health after his forty days of gnlf at Reverly. After luncheon the president went to the West Side baseball park, where he attended the game between the New York and Chicago Natlonal league teams. The president refused to occupy a box and sat In the grand stand just behind the home team’s bench. DUE TO VARIOUS CAUSES Imperial Bank of Germany to Advance Discount Rate. Berlin, Sept. 17.—It is probable that the rate of discount of the Imperial bank of Germany will be advanced to 4 per cent. The private rate of dis- count has been raised steadily during this month and is now a full 1 per cent higher than on Aug. 31. This rise is due chiefly to the activ- ity in speculation on the stock ex- changes, which shows a greater vol- ume than at any time since the fall of 1905. » Another cause of this changed situa- tion on the money market is the heavy investment of German money in foreign securities. The stamp tax returns show that the imports of such securities into Germany during thé past five months are more than six times greater than for the correspond- ing period of 1908. FRANCE OVERRUN WITH SPIES Orders lesued for Strict Watch of Fortifications. Paris, Sept. 17.—Overrun with spies Irom other lands, not to mention the traitors in her own military ranks, France has just issued orders for the strictest watch to be exercised over the secrets of her fortifications, army and navy equipment and even her own troops. Minister Briand has emphasized to | General Brun, the minister of war, the necessity of a counter espionage. General Durand, one of the foremost officers, declares that at no time since the days just preceding the Franco- Prussian war have there been so many spies in France.

ELEVEN PERSONS DROWNED British Steamer Goes Ashore Off Af- rican Coast. Capetown, Sept. 17—The British stesmer Umhlali, from London for Port Natal, ran ashore off Cape Point In a thick fog.

WILL SETTLE GOOK'S CLAIM FOR ALL TIME Commander Peary Refers to His Proof Disproving Story. Battle Harbor, Labrador, via wire- less to Cape Ray, N. F., Sept. 17.— Commander Robert E. Peary, further discussing the claim of Dr. Frederick A. Cook of discovering the North pole, sald the world expected Dr. Cook to submit to an impartial tribunal or ! board of arbitration a revised and authentic: signed statement of his al- leged discovery of the pole. Dr. Cook soon would reack the United States, Commander Peary said, and he was glad at the prospect of the matter be- iIng submitted for consideration at an early date. It should be done inside of a couplé of weeks and when it was done, the commander declared, he was prepared to turn over to the hoard of arbitration, the public and scientific bodies an array of proof which would disprove Dr. Cook’s claims for all time. “Gold Brick” Message Private. Continuing, the explorer said he had stated in a private message to a friend that Dr. Cook had given the world a “gold brick.” This message had been allowed to leak out and while he would have preferred a more elegant expression he was willing now to let these words stand, because they were at least emphatic. The explorer said also he would turn over to a competent tribunal and the public certified copies of his own observations made on his trip to the pole, with all other information bear ing thereon. Peary does not care to exhibit these records at the present time, he says, for the reason that the Information contained therein, if divulged in advance of the placing on file of Dr. Cook’s authentic and defi- nite statement, might be of advantage to the Cook partisans. GERMANS LEAN TOWARD CO0K Peary’s Interviews Turn Press of That Country Against Him. Hamburg, Sept. 17.—Commenting on the last interview with Commander Peary, sent from Battle Harbor, Lab- rador, the Hamburger Nachrichten says: “These high sounding words have made an extremely unpleasant im- pression and they will scarcely draw new friends to Commander Peary.” This exemplifies the general tone of the North German press, which leans, in this polar controversy, strongly to Dr. Cook, who is support- ed by the Hamburg Goographical so- clety.

The China- man pleaded that he had been taught in the New York missions to be cour- | feous to white women. | “I always consider it a diversion tending to a breach of the peace when any Chinese accosts a white woman,” said Judge Beitler in inflicting the | fine. “The Sigel murder would never | have occurred if Chinese were not al- J lowed to address white girls.” REQUISITION FOR MINISTER Kansas Divine Accused of Eloping With Girl Under Age.
