How “Then” Would Work. “Thon” is the word which has been suggested for use as an English pro- poun of common gender, a luxury which the English language has thus far had the fortitude to forego. It was considered suitable for English be- cause it came from the Greek. Its use may be illustrated as follows: If a parent desires to spank thon’s (his or her, as the case may be) child thon (he or she) should take thon (him, her or it) across thon's knee. Then thon should remove thon's slipper, and after explaining to the child the repre- hensibility of thon's conduct thon should apply the slipper to that por- tHon of thon’s anatomy which from time immemorial has been dedicated to that purpose. It may easily be seen from the above how “thon” effects great clarification.— Lippincott’s. Consistency. Murilla—Do you consider engage- wments binding?

SAID TO BE ON THE WANE New Cases and Deaths for the Past Week Show a Decrease From That of the Previous Seven Days—Offi- cially Admitted That Several Cases of the Scourge Have Been Discov- ered in Vienna. St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.—A slight improvement in cholera conditions in South Russia is shown by the latest reports to the government sanitary bureau and to the Red Cross. This is taken as a sign that the ¢gidemic is now on the wane. Reports for the week Aug. 14 to 20, inclusive, give 16,106 new cases and 7,743 deaths, as compared with 23,944 cases and 10,723 deaths for the prev- jous week, making a grand total of 121,091 cases and 58,030 deaths for this year’s epidemic. The mine owners of South Russia, who recently declared that they would have to suspend operation on account of flight of the workmen and whose refusal to undertake contracts for the delivery of pig iron has embarrassed the iron industry in Russia, report i that their workmen are beginning to return to the mines in considerable numbers. The proposal to reduce the duty on pig iron has had a particularly good effect in spurring on the mine owners to take measures to combat the exodus of the workmen. Cholera Reaches Vienna. Vienna, Aug. 27.—Cholera, it is of- ficially announced, has broken out in the city. After throwing doubt for two days upon the reports of cases in Vienna the health department of the ministry of the interior announced that bacteriological examination of several suspected cases has estab- lished that the patients were suffering from Asiatic cholera. The victims are from Hungary, into which kingdom the disease spread from Russia. TO PROBE MICHIGAN HORROR State Officials Will Decide if Train- men Were Competent. Durand, Mich.,, Aug. 27.—With the railroad, the county and the state making independent investigations of the Grand Trunk wreck at Duffield, near here, in which six Pullman pas- sengers were killed and eight persons injured, three probably fatally, it be: came evident that some very stringent action will follow. Secretary Kelly of the state railroad commission declares that if the Grand Lrunk is found to have used incom- petent men after the edict during the strike against incompetent strike- breakers the road will be prosecuted. Brakeman G. M. Graham, Montreal express, the Pullman of which was split in twain by train No. 4 from the rear, a strikebreaker, declared that the tail lights or the express were burn- ing and that he performed his duty as rear flagman and placed the torpe- does. Engineer Charles Spencer, No. 4, declares no tail lights were burning, that he was not flagged and that the torepdo exploded scarcely a car’s length from the fated Pullman. IN FAVOR OF HOME RULE Municipalities Convention Adopts Res- olution to Support Movement. St. Paul, Aug. 27.—Home rule was the keynote of the League of Ameri- can Municipalities at the morning ses- sion in the Auditorium. Mayor J. Barry Mahool of Baltimore started the discussion with an address, telling how the city of Baltimore was ham- pered and oppressed by the legislature of the state of Maryland. Delegates generally had the same tale to tell. Before the discussion closed there was an unanimous sentiment in favor of doing something to change the condi- tion. A resolution recommended by the committee on resoiutions was adopted later approving home rule and asking the league to work for it. TO ENTER BANKING BUSINESS Thomas F. Ryan Would Compete With Morgan and Others. New York, Aug. 27.—Thomas For- tune Ryan and his sons, Allan and Clendenin J:- Ryan, are preparing to enter the field with such houses as Speyer & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and perhaps in the course of time, with J. P. Morgan & Co. ‘With his enormous fortune, his huge income from the American tobacco monopoly and “other trusts he prac- tically owns and his large interests in the Bank of Commerce, it is be- lieved Mr. Ryan could lay the founda- tion for a house that would be second to none but that of J. P. Morgan & Co. More Than Two Score. Ponderay, Ida., Aug. 27.—The bodies of twenty men and five living men are at-a ranch house on the opposite side of the river at Tuscar, Mont. The five men arg hurned severely and no doc: tor is® dbtainable. There are still twenty or more bodies in the woods. sorenay MAY YOHE. Actress Who Was Stricken While Singing in Cafe. TIEUP OF WORLD'S SHIPPING Beamen’s Convention at Copenhagen Issues Ultimatum. Copenhagen, Aug. 27.—Delegates from all the seamen’s unions of Ameri- ca and Europe represented at the international congress of sailors and marine firemen, in session here, with the exception of the French associa- tion, agreed to declare an internation- al strike unless the ship owners of every country concerned agree to the formation of a board of conciliation to deal with the grievances of the men. The proposal for the strike has been the subject of heated discussions at the congress, the delegates of several of the Continental countries having opposed the suggestion of the British union for a strike. . SUGGESTED BY ITALY'S KING Proposal for Creation of International League of Peace. London, Aug. 27.—The Daily News publishes a communication stating that the origin of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's famous suggestion for a European peace league, made at Chris-, tiania during his recent tour of Eu- rope, was a memorandum prepared on the subject by the king of Italy which the king asked Colonel Roosevelt to convey to Emperor William of Ger- many. 3 It was before the Nobel prize com- mittee at Christiania, in his address on “International Peace,” that Colonel Roosevelt made his plea for a league of peace. MADRIZ WILL SEEK REFUGE IN MEXICO Informed by Honduran Officia's He Must Move On. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—Honduras offi- clally has invited Dr. Madriz, the de- posed president of the Nicaraguan government at Managua, to move on. This information was received at the state department from its diplomatic representatives. It accounts for the announcement that Madriz, who fled from Nicaragua to Amapala, on the little Honduran island just beyond the Nicaraguan border, is to leave on Mon- day for Mexico. It also explains the departure from Honduras to Costa Rica of the generals who fled with Madriz to Amapala. The request of Honduras was based on an article in the Washington con- vention to which’ the Central Amer- ican republics were signatories. In| that treaty it was providd specifically that the leaders of a faction in ome country should not be permitted to take refuge in a department of an- other country which borders on the republic in which there was factional trouble. IF VICTIMS SIGN. PETITION President Will Then Grant Pardon to John R. Walsh. Chicago, Aug. 27.—A special from ‘Washington says: If the stockholders and depositors of the wrecked national and state banks in Chicago once dominated by John R. Walsh are practically a unit in asking the pardon of the for- mer banker from the federal peniten- tiary at Leavenworth, Kan., he prob- ably will be liberated by President Taft. In any event the proportion of the stockholders and depositors who join in the petition for a pardon will have a good deal to do with the decision of the department of justice on the ques- tion of recommending clemency. Rival of Standard Oil. Pittsburg, Aug. 27.—With the selec- tion of four of the thirteen directors the first steps in the formal organiza- tion of the new High Grade Oil Refin- ing company, capitalized at $10,000, 000, have been taken, and, according to advices here, 250 oil promoters will be enlisted in thé new organization within a short time. FREIGHT RATE GASE T0 GOME UP AGAIN| Shippers Seek fo Recover Al- leged Overcharges. Washington, Aug. 27.—A demand for reparation, estimated at $1,000,000, is being prepared for presentation to the interstate commerce commission by merchants and manufacturers in the Missouri river territory, who as- sert they have been defrauded by ex- cessive railroad rates. The new action is the outgrowth of the long fight against exorbitant freight rates, which have been re- duced by the commission. Having won the original contention the ship- pers now propose to pursue the issue to the limit. The fight was carried before the commission two years ago, when wholesale dry goods merchants of Kansas City complained that they were discriminated against in favor of the merchants of Minneapolis and St. Paul on goods shipped from Atlantic coast points. The outcome was a decision by the commission ordering a reduction. The case was carried to the United States supreme court and the inter- state commerce commission was sus- tained. The commission having held the old rates to be too high the men who paid them will endeavor to in- duce the commission to order a settle- ment for overcharges by the railroads. BRYAN EXPRESSES OPINION Believes Roosevelt Is Seeking Presi dency in 1912, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 27.—W. J. Bryan believes Theodore Roosevelt is work- ing to secure the Republican nomina- tion for president in 1912 and accuses him in doing so of violating a time honored precedent. Bryan has the fol- lowing to say in his Commoner: “It looks like Roosevelt expected to be a candidate in 1912. Some of his enthusiastic friends have been talking about him, but there was nothing to support their prophesies until confi- dential friends, who visited him after the turn down for chairman, an- nounced that he will be a candidate only if it is necessary to do so in or- der to carry out ‘his policies.’” OFFERS TO BE ARBITRATOR Banker Schiff Anxious to End Cloak- makers’ Strike. New York, Aug. 27.—In an effort to settle the strike of the cloakmakers, which has paralyzed the coat and suit manufacturing industry of the city, Jacob H. Schiff, the banker and rail- road magnate, has notified Louis Mar- shall, attorney for the manufacturers, that he will act as arbitrator. Schiff and his friends are fearful that the strike, if continued much longer, will cause the removal of many of the larger factories to Western towns. There is no change in the situation. Mark Twain as “Attraction.” A girl who was a stranger to Mark Twain once found her way into his Bermuda home with the hope of get- ting a sight of the author. She came suddenly in contact with him and frankly explained her errand. “Have you seen the crystal cave yet.,” he asked, *“or the aquarium?”’ “No: I came to see you first,” she answered. “Well, you shouldn’t have seen me first,” he answered. “I run in oppo- sition to the crystal and the aquari- um. But they're not shucks to me. I'm lots berter. 1 give them their money’s worth. But you should see them. Then you'll appreciate me.” This was said in his most earnest drawl and with only a sparkle of bu- mor in his keen blue eyes.—Chicago Tribune. Striking It Rich. “Did you ever strike it rich pros- pecting?” “Only once,” replied the westerner. “1 was going along a trail in the moun- tains late one afternoon when 1 saw the gleam of metal. Hastening to it, 1 found”— “Silver or gold?” “Tin. It was a matchbox, full too. And I had been out of matches since my early morning smoke.”—Philadel- phia Ledger. Benefits of Music. “Do you believe that music prevents crime?” “To a certain extent,” replied Mr. Sinnick. “When a man keeps both hands and his breath busy with a cor- net you know he can’t be picking pock- ets, attempting homicide or slandering his neighbors.”—Washington Star, A Comparison. In a school at Washington a boy was asked to compare the word “slck.” The little fellow arose in his place, looked around him for a moment, his face a picture of deep thought, and then he said: “Sick, worse, Times. dead.”—Los Angeles Easily Managed. - First Girl—l mean to be.engaged when I'm nineteen. Second Girl—But supposing you can't manage it? First Girl—Then I shall remain nineteen’ un- tll am engaged. .. .- ' In several of our recent DIAMOND advertisements we have called your attention to the fact that we could supply N2 QIAMONDS in any desirable “size, grade or quantity, at a price below the Retail Jewelry Stores in the large cities.

To forget the inventions of the hour is an impossibility. ‘They are before one at every tury, and many of them contain potentialities vast and much discussed. Ior that very reason It is well occasionally to contemplate some | invention of the past which works un- remitringly and inconspicuously for the welfare of mankind, Consider the alr brake. How many when they take a journey by rail ever take thought of the device which stands ready to in- sure safety from possible accidents? All are so used to sibilant noise below the cars that they never consider its portentousness. . Yet by this applica tion of the power of compressed air tens of thousands of lives have been preserved and railroad travel has been made more expeditious.
