Bishop, Superintendent NELSON MOVES MEETING PLACE Orders Ballinger Committee to Gather in Chicago. MEMBERS BADLY DIVIDED Minority Assembles in One Room at West Hotel in Minneapolis and Ma- Jjority in Another and All Efforts for Joint Session Fail—Chairman Pre- sides at Democratic Gathering, but Leaves Room and Issues Ukase. Minneapolis, Sept. 10.—Using his power as chairman of the Ballinger- Pinchot committee, called to meet at the West hotel, Senator Knuté Nelson adjourned the committee meeting un- til Tuesday, Sept. 13, when the mem- bers are directed to meet in Chicago at the Auditorium Annex hotel at 10 o'clock in the morning. Senator Nelson was the only major- ity member present when the com- mittee met. He presented a state- ment.saying that Representative Olm- vted of Pennsylvania would not be able to attend. He said that Senator Root could not reach Minneapolis be- fore Tuesday. He therefore asked that the committee adjourn until next Tuesday. The Democratic members replied that they were there to do business and a quorum was present and that they saw no reason for further delay. Then Senator Nelson suggested that they adjourn to meet in Chicago next Monday, where they might meet Sen- ator Root. This proposition was also declined by the Democratic members. The Democratic members, including Senators Purcell and Fletcher and Representatives James and Graham, were in the committee rcom early. Representative Madison of Kansas, progressive Republican, was also on time. Absentees Invited to Attend. Soon after the committee met the Democratic members sent word to the absentees, who were assembled at room 222 in the hotel, to attend the meeting, otherwise they would be obliged to order their arrest and com- pel their attendance. This threat didn’t sentees. They sent back word that, in view of the action of the five mi- nority members, they would have nothing further to do with them. Then the Democratic members sent word to the absent Republicans re- questing them to attend and confer as to a course of procedure. This the Republicans refused to do, replying that since the Democratic members had reached a definite conclusion and had formulated and signed their re- port there was nothing to confer about. While Senator Nelson met with the minority members of the committee and remained with them he and his followers in the committee declared that it was not a committee meeting at all. Because of lack of a quorum they contend that the committee has no power to act. Shortly before noon Senator Nelsen left the committee room and half an hour later the notice of the Chicago meeting was served on all the mem- bers at present in the city. move the ab- ROOSEVELT AT CINCINNATI Former President Given Warm Wel- come in Ohio City. Cincinnati, Sept. 10.—Cincinnati was host to Theodore Roosevelt and the welcome accorded the distinguished visitor was fully as warm and whole hearted as those he has been accorded in the other cities visited by him on his swing around the West and North- west. He arrived early in the morning but found a large crowd awaiting him. ‘I'he programme of entertainment in- cluded a public reception at Music hall and luncheon at the exposition grounds. At 2:30 in the afternoon he addressed a great throng in Music hall and in the evening he attended a performance of the opera “Paoletta” in the same building. Goodness and Greatness.

M Snnss 7 IRONCLAD CASTE. Its Rule Among the Hindus Abso- lute and Unchangeable. THE POWER OF THE BRAHMAN All the Wealth of the World Would Not Enable a Lower Caste Hindu to Wed Into His Family or Touch His Hand—Tyrannical Social Divisions. Caste distinction in India is a thing difficult for a foreigner to comprehend. All the racial or religious distinctions which separate European nations from each other and divide them within themselves do not equal the number of classes into which the Hindus are di- vided by what is known as “caste.” The 200.000.000 Hindus are made up of diverse racial elements and speak about uineteen developed languages and over 100 dialects. They are again divided into over 3,000 castes, most of them with subcastes. One of these castes, the Brahmans, is split up into more than 800 subcastes, of which none will intermarry and few will eat to- gether. T'he term *caste” includes so many things that it is difficult to define it. There are, however, two properties es- sential to a true caste—first, there is no entry except by birth; second, mar- riage outside the caste is absolutely torbidden. 'T'o preserve the purity and maintain the exclusiveness of the so- cilety many minute rules of conduct, many restrictions on food and many ceremonial observances are imposed on the members and enforced by penalties which cannot be evaded, against which there is no appeal and which in ex- treme cases follow the offender beyond the grave. But that is not all. The relations of castes to each other are as much a matter of religions observance as the rules for their internal regulation. The Brahmans are the highest admittedly and undoubtedly superior to all the rest. After them cowme those who are acknowledged to be twice born. The less honored follow in a graduated de- scent until the untouchable and un- speakable are reached at the lowest cepth. It may be urged that the separation between the Brahman and, let us say, the Kurmi market gardener is no wider than that between the peer of the United Kingdom and the coal miner. There is this essential difference—that it is impossible for an Indian to change his caste. The coal miner may be elected to parliament, may become a cabinet minister and if he can make money enough may marry his soo to a duke’s daughter. The Kurmi must remain a Kurmi. All the wealth of Croesus will not en- able bim to make an alliance with a Brahman family or to touch a Brah- man’s hand. The members of a caste may-and in some cases do raise them- selves in the sight of other castes by adopting more elaborate ceremonies and more scrupulous observances. A half civilized Gond. for example, may find himself brought into contact with Hindus as the plow encroaches on the forest. He tries to raise his po- sition and add to his self respect by adopting the exclusiveness of his Hin- du neighbors. He will éven outdo them if he can. and if the Hindu is scrupulous about his food the convert will wash the very wood with which his dinner is cooked. No endeavors of this kind. however, will avail to lessen by a hair’s breadth the distance between him and the caste Hindu or even to' induce the Hindu barber to look upon him as a client whose chin he may shave and whose toe nails”he ‘may pare without degradation. ) Another point connected with caste which has a very practical bearing and must be taken into account is the power of ‘coercion which {t gives to the brotherhood. If'a man is excommuni- cated by his caste fellows nobody in the caste will marry him. or will ac- cept water from his hands or will eat with him. If he is married his wife will not touch him or speak to him. He is dead to his family. ©L'he priest will-not perform ceremonies for him. ‘The vil- lage barber will not shave him, and the washerwoman will not wash his clothes. These are the methods. of bringing pressure on the man. The strictest boycott which Irishmen have invented is mild compared to the tinal sentence of a caste punchayat. A system like this is a stern fact which has to be faced. There is not a police case or a civil case or a trial at the sessions, there is hardly an ap- pointment to an office in India -of whatever degree, in which the matter of caste has not to be considered. It forces itself into every assessment of land revenue, into every adjudication of rent, It affects the administration of justice, the proceedings of munici- pal and district councils. The influence and power of the Brahman and the idea that he is above the law and is not to be pun- ished as other people are still alive, although a ceutury of British justice has done something toward eradicat- ing them. On the other hand, the sug- gestion that a man of a lower caste might rise to an equality or nearer to an equality with members of a caste above him is unthinkable. Where the dow caste men are. there they must remain. If they behave themselves it will be made up to them in a future existence.—London Spectator.

A Munich boy of fourteen, who had seen and admired many of Rudolf von Seitz’s paintings, was anxious to se- cure the painter's autograph, but did not know how to go about it. After much thought he wrote a letter, stat- ing that he had sent a case of wine to the professor’s address, and wanted to know whether it had been received. Thinking the matter of sufficient im- portance the painter did not write, but called at the address given, met the boy’s mother, and the fraud soon be- came apparent. The boy was thor- ougly scolded, and next day received this autograph note: It often happens here on earth rhat little rogues to great ones grow. Some autographs for which you're trying Can be procured without much lying. Irish Wit. Swift scoffed at Irisb “wit” fn some biting lines. Nevertheless Irish wit is one of the most precious things. Oune soon has a surfeit ot the professional funny man in England, the pawky Scot. the American humorist. The Irish peasant never disappoints, and with him it is all so naive and vatural. —London Saturday Review, T Way It Goes. “Give ’em what they want, my boy.” said the old physician. “For instance?’ inquired the young medico. “Well, many a woman will take oxy- gen treatment at $5 a throw who wouldn't spend car fare for fresh air.,” —Washington Herald.
