From Scrubwoman to Wife of English Peer THE FASHION WEEK CAMILLE CLIFFORD AS A GIBSON GIRL VOL. 22. NO. 42. From Scrubw Wife of When aristocratic England welcomes to its arms the Hon. Mrs. Henry Lyndhurst Bruce, the future Lady Aberdare—and welcome her it ultimately must—it will be making a familiar of a girl who a few years ago was a kitchen domestic and scrubbed doors in order to keep away starvation. A servant girl she was, a peeress she will be. It sounds like a fairy story, and in some sort it is, for the beauty of Camille Clifford has been the compelling magic that has lifted the little Swede from poverty into a place of wealth and rank among King Edward's elect. The "Gibson Girl" made the fame of Charles Dana Gibson, the artiste, and the type that was equally kind to a number of women who either posed as models or became the exponents of Gibson girls on the stage. Miss Eva Carrington is an example, for, like Miss Clifford, she played as a Gibson girl in the "Catch of the Season," and left the stage to marry Baron de Clifford. Now fate wills that Miss Clifford become the bride of the Hon. Henry Lyndhurst Bruce. He is the heir to Lord Aberdare, and will some day wear the title. Seven years ago in July, Camille Ottersen stood weeping on the Cunard dock in Boston. The little fifteen-year-old Swedish girl had made the long trip alone, and as no one appeared to claim here the immigration agent announced that would have to send her back. The little girl could not speak a word of English, but managed to make clear to the agent that she expected her father to meet her. Ottersen did not appear, but in his stead came Mrs. John M. Schilling, and she was permitted to take the yellow-haired child to her modest little home in Roxbury, Mass. No one ever came into the land of the free under more unfavorable circumstances, and the chances that from her lowly start Camille would eventually climb to the ranks of the English population did not look one in a million. Nor did her wife about mend quickly. Her father mended little quickly. The child he had two wives, the first, mother of Camille, dying of consumption the youngster was only two years old. Then Camille was given to the care of her aunt in Christiania, Mrs. Franz Ottersen. The latter cared only for what work she could wring from the little body, and set her to the hardest kind of drudgery, till the little hands reddened and grew large from constant floor scrubbing. A friend who pluited the unhappy lot of the child wrote to Boston, asking Mrs. Schilling to find the father of Camille to see if he would not do something to ameliorate the woes of his child. Mrs. Schilling succeeded in raising CAMILLE CLIFFORD A Bad Break Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse university, in a discussion of the craze for athletics that some times becomes too rampant in the universities of America, said with a smile: "Why, I know a young clergyman—he had been an excellent fratbaseman at college in his time—who, after reading a portion of the Scriptures, said solemnly, as he closed the Bible one Sunday morning in the baseball season: "Here endeth the second innings." LITTLE CAMILLE, As she appeared on her arrival in America. the money that brought Camille to the United States in the steerage. It took her only a few days to find out that she could expect nothing from her parent, and then, in anger at her unhappiness she had undergone through Othellen's, her aunt and father, she changed her name, and was henceforth to become Camille Clifford. For a couple of months she stayed with Mrs. Schilling and then, feeling that it was wrong to take to a ready heavy burden borne by that kind-hearted lady, she went to an employment agency to seek a place as servant: LITTLE As she appeared on h It happened that Mrs. Simon Carey, Jr., of Orange, N. J., had come up to her summer home at Falmouth, Cape Cod, and wanted a nurse girl and parlor maid. The millionaire's wife had a liking for Scandinavian girls, and took Camille, though she could barely speak a word of English. There never was a lovelier servant, neither in appearance or willingness to her. Camille was grateful to Mrs. Carey for the kindness with which she treated her, and though hired as parlor maid to look after the childr AS A GIBSON GIRL. Mrs. Noah was complaining that her clothes looked as if they had come out of the ark. "On the contrary," returned her spouse, "they have just come across the water." Herewith he congratulated himself on the cheapness of imported gowns. Selfish. She—So you have had a great many thrilling escapes? He—Yes—I am still a bachelor. THE APPEAL. wait on the bell and assist her mistress to dress, she -made no protest when in the occasional absences of the cook she was set to prepare the food, and wash the dishes. Mrs. Carey was so won with the girl that when she returned to Orange she took Camille along. For a year and a half Camille stayed with Mrs. Carey, then she became homesick for some one who could speak her own tongue, and went back to Mrs. Schilling. The turning point in the career of the former immigrant was when she saw an advertisement for "Morocco Bound," then playing at a Boston theater. Her pretty face easily won for Camille the first of its conquests, and she was quickly engaged and later got chorus work with the "Boabdil" company. The former scrubwoman was now fairly launched in her career. CAMILLE, her arrival in America. At this time Henry W. Savage was organizing his "Prince of Pilsen" company. Camille asked for a place. Mr. Savage liked her looks, and engaged her for ten weeks in the chorus. Here came a first set-back. Mr. Savage did not like the way Miss Clifford did her work, and the future peeress was told that she could work for a job elsewhere. It did not come hard. She went out with a summer company touring New England in light opera, and made such a genuine hit that it came to the ears of Mr. Savage. He was surprised to find out how the former little girl had developed. She had advanced into womanhood of wondrous beauty, her voice had improved and there was a magnetism about her that the keen manager saw ought to be quickly turned into money. He was broad-minded enough to admit the mistake he had made, and Miss Clifford was promptly re-engaged at an advance of salary to return to the "Prince of Pilsen" company. She was the perfect Gibbon type, extra tall, with the proudly tilted nose, the air of attractive insolence and the dashing walk that was simply irresistible. She played the part of the New York girl, Washington girl or Chicago girl, in that great hit where comely young women delineated the types of the different American cities. Her success insured her a place in the carefully selected company that took the opera to England, and before she had been in King Edward's realm a week, London was ransacked over her. She quickly became the reigning beauty of the English stage, and roused a furore quite as great as that created by Edna May a few years before. A dozen men of title laid their hearts at her feet, and tried to put their names on her. But Miss Clifford has learned sense during her struggle as an humble servant in the United States, and she turned down one after the other, determined that no matter how great the wealth, her hand should not go till she could bestow her heart with it. When the Hon. Mr. Bruce presented his claim the question was decided quickly. He had other things in his favor besides me. His portion included youth and the friendship of those people whom Camille had always wished to know. Her other admirers were given a polite, but positive farewell, and the little girl of the scrubbing brush is now rehearsing for the time when she will wear a coronet. **Bird's Unbroken Flight.** In an unbroken nocturnal flight the European bird known as the northern bluetheath has been proved to travel from Central Africa to the German ocean, a distance of 1,890 miles, making the journey in nine hours. **Too "Bossy."** She—You don't love me as you used to.

For a navigator to have succeeded where such world-famous sailors as Cabot, Hudson, Baffin, Davis and Sir John Franklin failed is no small feat. The name of Capt. Roald Amundsen will go into the Wallaula of great explorers, for he is the first man to complete a transit of the Northwest passage, a feat which has been the 500-year dream of seamen. Huge sums of money and thousands of lives have been sacrificed and untold suffering undergone, in the hope of finding a short route across the northernmost part of America. It was the dream of such a passage that led to the discovery of the American continent. Mighty vessels have been built which were designed to resist the fierce tides and the floating ice in the treacherous straits, and it is a curious circumstance that when the big vessels failed, success has finally come to the rescue of the boat only seventy feet long and twenty feet. The total crew of the Glen, including Capt. Amundsen, numbered only eight men, yet these came through in safety where Sir John Franklin and his 129 perished. Now that the feat has been accomplished, it cannot be denied that it represents little gain of practical value. A passage that has only been threaded once in five centuries, and then only after a dangerous trip of two years, can scarcely be said to hold out much promise of commercial reward. Capt. Amundsen's investigation of the magnitude pole will probably prove of much greater utility, but there is that in the final conquest of the Northwest passage that appeals strongly to the imagination, and far outstrips the cooler scientific achievement. Man will reap no financial benefits from the Northwest passage, but it was his cupidity that started the quest. The discoveries made centuries ago by the Portuguese and Spaniards in the south latitudes of Asia prompted other nations of Europe to seek a route to the wealth of the Eastern country. John Cabot, the discoverer of the American continent, reasoned that the feasible plan was to erase the Atlantic, find an avenue across the comparatively narrow expanse of northernmost America, and then by continuing westward, to reach Asia. He made the attempt in 1497, but found his progress barred by Newfoundland and Labrador. Three years later Gaspard Cortereal and his brother made three voyages in the same direction, and on reaching Newfoundland, sailed north. In every trial they were stopped on the coast of Labrador, and having failed to provide for any relief in case their provisions became exhausted, finally perished. This is the first record of life lost in the quest of the Northwest passage, though in the two hundred-odd voyages that have followed there are abundant instances where starvation and cold have brought many an intrepid life to an end on the barren arctic wastes. Seventy-nine years after the Cabot expedition, James Frohlsber started out on a second important attempt. In 1585 he succeeded two years he repeated his efforts, but was doomed to failure. From 1585 to 1588 the enterprise to CAPT. ROAL As Usubi. Jinks—Too bad about Plunger, isn't it? Binks—What's he 'done now? Jinks—Speculated in Amalgamated. Binks—Didn't stocks go up?

Why, he's too lazy to blow he own horn!" discover the passage received a fresh impetus through the explorations of Capt. John Davis, who sailed up the strait which now bears his name, as far as seventy degrees north, and reported open water further up yet. He then surveyed the east and west sides of the straits, but without further important results. The great Henry Huson, who had previously attempted the Northeast passage, which corresponds to the coast of Asia, but seeks a transit across Asia instead, has voted his time in an effort to find that for which Cabot, Frobisher and Davis had sought in vain. The outcome of his work was the discovery of the Hudson strait and bay. He believed the latter to be none other than an inlet of the Pacific HENRY [Portrait of a man with a ruff collar, likely a historical figure]. HENRY HUDSON D AMUNDSEN. The Limit. "I see, that you have called your first daughter Lily, your second Rose, your third Daisy and your fourth Violet. In case you have another what would you call her?"

Nearly 70,000 tons of corks are needed for the bottled beer and aerated waters consumed annually in Britain. land, in the hope that it would settle once and for all the long mooted question. The pathetic outcome of that expedition is one of the famed romances of history. Every schoolboy is familiar with the details and the surmise and conjecture that exist to this day as to whatever became of the leader and his men. The expedition left England May 19, 1845. It was last seen at Baffn's bay. The survivors abandoned the vessel and are thought to have perished in an attempt to reach the American mainland. But others hold the theory that they did not die, but came to the settlements of some friendly people, perhaps yet unknown to the rest of the world, there intermarried, and with their descendants, such as are spared, may be living there to this day. The theory may be far-fetched, but it gains confirmation from the fact that fifteen relief expeditions have failed to disclose any sign of the unfortunate men. Amundsen, though he traversed this territory, and saw the rough monument which sailors erected HUDSON. in honor of Franklin, did not find any trace of the expedition. The searchers for Franklin thoroughly explored the district with the result that many straits were found that connected Davis and Bering straits. It was Capt. McClure who really discovered the feasibility of crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific, though he himself did not succeed in completing the mission. Amundson, who is a Norwegian and a comrade of Nansen, left Norway in June, 1903. He had no intention of seeking the North pole. His two goals were a completion of the Northwest passage and an investigation of the magnetic pole. In both he succeeded. The explorer established his first base in Leopold harbor, where he made absolute magnetic observations during 1904. He established his second base station on King William's island in the summer of 1905, and erected self-registering instruments. His discovery of the magnetic pole is of the highest importance to navigators. This part of his work has interested scientists ever since the expedition was planned. Since Columbus, in 1492, first noted the various deviations the magnetic compass from the true north, scientists have tried, without success, to find the reason for the variations. Also, it has been whether the magnetic pole is stationary, and it is expected that Capt. Amundsen's report will confirm the general belief that this pole moves at times. The newspaper "Kysten" of Christina, states that United States Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota has proposed that the American government purchase the steamship Gloa, in order that she may be the first vessel to go through the Panama canal, and thus be the only ship that has sailed around America, and it is possible that congress may act favorably on the suggestion.

Some Uncanny Phenomena That As-sail the Seafaring Map. All sailors are superstitious, and the legends of the sea are legion, ranging from phantom ships to spectral lights suddenly gleaming from yardarms and mastheads. That many of these legends are very ancient may be proved by the fact that sea harpies are described by Homer and Hesiod, while according to Virgil they plundered Aeneas during his voyage to Italy. The beautiful sirens, too, are of classic origin. Weird, indeed are the tales of haunting specters, fit to send one's nerves a-shivering after a hearty supper, well suited for a Christmas time ghost stories. There are the four goblins of Dunter's Ness, not ghosts, but evil water spirits, who appear twice a year, pinyin in midwinter, but bring bad luck in a very short time to the ship from which they are sighted. We must mention Adamaster, the dreaded ghost of the Cape, that used to be seen in a halo of cloud and mist over Good Hope, and also the silent man of Wexford harbor, the wandering soul of the Duck skipper who lost his smack on his way to Dublin some three centuries ago. Ghostly apparitions are not, however, the only ones to be feared at sea. In the past these apparitions take the shape of lightings suddenly gleaming from yardarms and mastheads. It was known by ancient navigators as Castor and Pollux—the best omen if seen double, but a signal of danger if seen single. Jack has a score of well known superstitions, many of which are of very long descent, such as the presence of figureheads, the blessing of ships and the "crossing of the line." He was remembered that the Prince and Princess of Australia paid tribute to old Neptune while on their journey to Australia. MINES BOTH HEAT AND COLD. Nature Supplies a Florist With Coal and Cold Storage. A florist of Fairmount, W.V., gets both heat and cold from the same mine. In the engine room of his plant a tunnel four by four leads into a coal mine. It is provided with a track and a train of cars, and thirteen carloads of coal is mined by the engineer every day for the boiler. In this same tunnel is the cold storage plant. It one pound of ice is used by the florist, yet flowers go to the customers in perfect condition. The excavated chambers of the mine furnish ideal cold storage. The little railroad runs through the green-houses and furnishes transportation facilities for this department. The temperature is never less than 45 degrees, never more than 48 degrees, and does not vary much at any season. Cut flowers will keep perfectly for thirty days here. An experiment was made with a dozen carnations. After fifteen days they were taken from the mine, covered with a frilly cut-flowers and found to be in perfect condition. When put aside they wilted one day sooner than the fresh carnations. A potted plant ordered for a given occasion may bloom too freely or too soon, if sent to the mine its growth is arrested by the cold, even temperature. In another chamber were great masses of Eastern illies, tall and serious. Something symbolical of the Resurrection was suggested by the sight. Nothing more beautiful than the chamber of cut flowers could be imagined. Against layers of black coal carnations in hosts lightened the gloom. Here, too, was a heap of violets awaiting Easter morning. Perforated Sails. Although the assertion recently made by an Italian sea captain that the power of salis was increased by their being perforated was ridiculed, it has just been proved that he was right. His theory was that the force of the wind cannot fairly take effect on an inflated sail because of the cushion of immovable air that fills the hollow. To prevent the creation and presence of that cushion he pierced his salis with many holes, through which the wind blew, the balance of the air pressure striking against the canvas and exerting its full effect. Several experiments have been made on these lines, and the results are declared to have been eminently satisfactory. The Delayed Cackle. "I see Jerome K.

THE COUNCIL AND THE COURIER. The Charleston News and Courter condescends to notice the fact that the National Afro-American Council proposes and is making arrangements to bring the famous "grandfather" clauses of the Southern states before the Supreme Court of the United States. It also notices a remark of Bishop Walters about "striking dismay" into "these Southern politicians who are fattening on the race problem." It trusts that the Council succeeds in securing a final decision. But it thinks that the North will not be thrilled with this question, as it is not the North of the days of Reconstruction; and moreover, the North is now more largely interested in the industrial and commercial prosperity of the South. Then it assures the world that the South will not be dismayed by any decision of the Supreme Court and declares that if the grandfather clause is knocked out, something else will be pursued, purpose, as the Southern white people are determined to retain political control of the South. But the News and Courter is, unwittingly, predicting for the South the most fearful calamity that can befall it, that is being under the political pressure of the conservatives, who degenerates, who according to their own statements are now in the lead. TREASONABLE OATHS The revelation of the vow of the Dowleties, "That all family ties and all obligations and all relations to all human government shall be held subordinate to this vow," incites the Chicago Chronicle to discuss the subject of Treasonable Oaths, and it finds that the laws of the Labor Unions are bound by similar oaths. It rightly characterizes such oath as treasonable; but it fails to notice what we consider more glaring and dangerous application of the laws of the Labor Unions. Congressman Hardwick, of Georgia is reported as having declared in a recent speech that the 14th and 15th Amendments were put upon the South by force and military pressure of course the same is true of the 13th Amendment, argues, that any device to nullify them is legitimate and praiseworthy. Now a treasonable oath is certainly more criminal than a treasonable action, such as Congressman Hardwick's speech of course the same is true of the solemnly sworn, in the presence of many witnesses, 'to support the entire Constitution of the United States without exception, and without reservation; yet he can in the most evident manner deny the no intention of so doing; and he supported a man for governor of his state whose platform is a nullification of the amendments. Such a man deserves the censure of a journal discussing the subject of treason far less the secret doings of the Dowleties the Mormons of the Labor Unions. "Ex-Attache," the well-known correspondent, writes thus: "it seems that we give forth an extremely disagreeable odor. By 'we' I mean the German, according to the Japanese, this odor is not only "piquant," but also "rancid." The Japanese, like all other orientals and like our red Indians, find our perfume offensive, so much so that the mikoado resides sufficiently long in America or Europe to become impregnated therewith, it is considered sufficient to exempt him from that military service which is obligatory for the Japanese. A jap contaminated by our-well, let us call it perfume—is regarded as unfit for association with his fellow countrymen, precisely as if he were afflicted with leprosy. It is considered appropriate to exist in the same atmosphere as one so disagreeably, odoriferous, and not only does the European perfume constitute a disqualification for service in the army and in the navy, but actually, according to Japanese law, constitutes a valid reason for divorce. THE APPEAL can scarcely conceive of the effect that this revelation will have upon the sensibilities of the white brother. He has already learned that the "childlike and bland" oriental has no use for his brand of religion and now to learn that to the nostril of John Chinman he is as offensive as the stock-yards to the author of the Jungle is a. little too much. As a specimen of laughable high-falconing buncombe we quote the following from the Buffalo platform, issued by the convention which nominated Heart for governor: "We ask, says the platform, "the cooperation and support of all citizens who feel that the issue before the country is no more struggle for office or for advantage between political parties and the state." Christian civilization and of democratic government, its last and most valuable fruit." Now democratic government is found in its purest and most concentrated form in the commonwealth of Georgia and, especially, in the city of Atlanta; and, of course, the same is true of Christian civilization. Thus, we deduce the interesting fact that Christian civilization consists of mur- Birdseye View of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute dering innocent white men as well as black ones, at the instigation of rabble-rousing newspapers and donkey-funkey preachers. In the North American Review, Col. Richard Weightman explains one of the reasons for the prejudice of the Chinese against American missionaries. He says: "We are reminded that an American citizen resident or court, which have submitted by treaty to the practice of exterritoriality, must, when charged with a crime or an offense against local laws or customs, be tried not by a native court, but by a diplomatic or consular representation of his own government, and if adjudged guilty, he has his punishment meted out. No sensible man can wonder at the fact that such an institution is extremely offensive to the Chinese, and would be to any one else. No country in Europe would tolerate any such invasion of its sovereignty/for an enemy, no country occupied by white men expected to do so. And China will, ever long, put an end to the outrage. The Arkansas race riots were not caused by assaults upon white women by "black brutes," but sprang up in the following way. A white brute had cultivated a high degree of social equality with a black prostitute and imagined he was the monopolist of women in the slave market, in course of time that his chauvinist a lord of her own race (which is invariably the case) who lived very comfortably upon the money out of which the black Circe bambooed her Anglo-Saxon admirer. About the time of this discovery all the parties met in a saloon in which the white man and the black woman were socially partaking of some refreshments, beer, and food; a show quarrel between the rival men; the black man shot and killed the white man. This occurrence started the mob. Notwithstanding the bitter fight made in this country against the amalgamation of races, the process goes steadily on. A member of the Gould family recently was married to a Chinaman—a relative of J. Pierpont Morgan married a Japanese lady, and Lafcadio Hearn seems to have been married to both an Afro-American and a Japanese woman. Georgia is someone stirred up over the fact that one of her six months ago to a fair-complexioned Afro-American, while another of the same rank in society was engaged to PETER J. BURKE DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. a South American but failed to carry out the engagement in consequence of anonymous letters warning that her affluent was of African descent. Southern orators and editors have roared themselves out about the corruptions of reconstruction times and the outrages that were then perretrated; and, in order to guard against the return of such times, have invented grandfather clauses and "disfairness" and a miscellaneous list of other crimes, doing they of course demoralized themselves, with the result that corruption is so thick and solid all through the South, that you can cut it with a knife. Only you know the fact that grand jurors are so much more likely of nearly every southern legislature, trying to convict them of boodling, grafting and bribery. It will be noticed that a good many newspapers are using the word "socialistic," the jimcrowser use the word "carpetbagger." But both words have lost all that power, and the crowds have discovered that the scarecrow is harmless. The people know a good thing when they see it; and don't care a continent whether it comes from Nazareth or Hades. Some of the preachers who are puzzling their brains in search of puzzling topics, to discuss might-exist theories, to investigate the question whether, or not, there is any connection between such incidents as the Atlanta mob murders and the calamities, such as those along the Gulf, which follow so closely in their wake. The American editors who are solly over the question of Cuba, who fully pursued that it will afford this country a vast amount of fun to do the Cubans up, might learn something to their advantage by studying the history of Toussaint L' Ouverture. The Texas hill-billies are after Senator Balley's scalp and accuse him of being a corporation counsel. The probabilities are that within a short time, the Senator will follow Berry and Carmack into private life. DR. BOOKER T. President Tuskegee Norm The annual report of Dr. Booker T.

When Admiral Sigsee's squadron was cruising in the Caribbean sea, in 1904 and the spring of 1905, the officers of his flagship, the Newark, found that bark salad was not only the most delicious dish, but this remarkable food was made from the bark of a tropical tree, and much enjoyed by the natives along the coast.

PROPOSED Amendments TO THE Constitution OF MINNESOTA Hon. Peter E. Hanson, Secretary of State. Sir: As required by Section 25 of the Revised Laws, I have the honor to advise you as to the purpose and effect of these amendments which may be imposed on the people at the coming election. FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The first proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 168 of the Laws of 1905. By this amendment it is sought to repeal Section one (1), of the Constitution (17) of Article nine, and entrench (17) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution (The Inferior section being the amendment to said Article nine) adopted in 1909) which sections now govern. **Section 2. The legislature shall provide for the estimated ordinary expenses of the state for each year, and whenever it may be necessary, for the estimated penses of the state for any year shall exceed the income of the state for each year. The legislature provides for levying a tax for the ensuing income, to pay the deficiency of the preceding year, together with the estimated law levying a tax or muking other property, to pay the deficiency of the principal of bonds denominated "Mining sata State Railroad Bonds" shall take the same amount, and adopted by a majority of the secession and adopted by a majority of the secession and upon the same. All taxes shall be passed taxing all money, investments in bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, or property, according to its true value in the school houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and all semipublic worship institutions of purely public property, and properly used for religious purposes, and properly used for religious purposes, and properly used for any public purpose, and spending in value two hundred dollars for each individual, shall by general laws, "Section 4. Laws shall be passed for the purchase of equipment purchased, money loaned, and all other property, effects, or dues of every deceiver, so that all property employed in banking shall always be subject to a property tax, imposed on the property of individuals. And to substitute therefor the following: "Section 1. The power of taxation shall be traced away. Taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects, and purposes, but public burying grounds, public colleges, universities, and all seminaries of learning, all churches, institutions of purely public charity, and public purposes, shall be exempt from taxation, and there may be exempt from income in value $200 for each household, indemnity or heath care, and local improvements determine. Provided, that the legislature may authorize municipal property local improvements upon property benefited thereby without regard to a cash situation; and, in connection with, contained shall be construed to affect, modify or repeal existing law pertaining to the enforcement of railroads." The purpose and effect of this amendment would be to greatly enhance the power of the legislature with reference to the subject of the law. The amendment provides that all taxes imposed shall be equal—as near as may be imposed upon property which a tax is imposed is required to have a CASH VALUATION equalized throughout the state. Section two as it now stands requires the legislature to levy the necessary taxes on property which a tax is imposed is required to have a CASH VALUATION equalized throughout the state. That is the duty of the legislature without any constitutional direction. The legislature also real and personal property, including MONEYS, CREDITS and INVESTMENTS, is required according to their true value in money. The amendment thus as it now stands provides that property employed in banking shall be subject to a tax equal to that imposed on the property in accordance with a repetition of the requirements of Sections one and three, as no rational person would claim that banking is the main source of freightation. Section seventeen as it now stands is not easy to understand, but was used in the operation of sections one and three, above quoted, property tax laws. From the operation of sections one and three, above quoted, property tax laws, so that a gross earnings tax could be applied thereto instead of direct taxation, to the provisions of sections one and three of the present Constitution, many amendments were from time to time enacted to tax properties to be imposed on specific kinds of property otherwise than upon a cash valuation. These amendments have among these exceptions railroad gross earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes; taxable earnings taxes authorized by said section seventeen. All exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemptions are not changed by the proposed amendment, I will make The adoption of this amendment would, as indicated, repent the so-called "gross earnings tax amendment" and the gross-earnings tax amendment adopted in 1896 as contained in said section in seventeen, but in itself not a legislative measure but give the legislature greater authority. Under this amendment the tax would be unlimited, and any form of gross earnings tax would be unlimited, and any form of railroads would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution provides that it can not be changed without a new form of taxation with this amendment various new forms of taxation could be imposed, such as the income tax or mortgage tax on mortgages. Under the present Constitution we can impose no tax on mortgages by non-compliance, but would be valid under this amendment, as the income tax or mortgage tax alike. While all subjects of the amendment are required to have a cash valuation with the tax equalized, the tax would be valid come tax could be imposed. Such a tax, if imposed, should be produced by the legislature be valid under this amendment. SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The second proposed amendment is to repeal the Laws of 1905. It is sought by this amendment to renew Section 16 of the Constitution, which is set follows. and substitute therefor the following: "Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of a bridge, hereby create a fund, to be known as the bridge fund, to be a bridge fund; said fund shall include all of the income derived from investments in the internal improvement land and bridge funds, and shall also include all said fund, and shall also include all state road and bridge fund, however appropriate." "The legislature is authorized to add the purpose for the purpose of constructing bridges of this state, by providing, in the form of a bill, for the construction upon the property of this state of not to exceed in any year one-fourth (4) of all on all taxable property within the state. "Provided, that no county shall receive in any year one-third (4) of less than one-half (1/2) of one (1) percent of the total fund thus provided and in less than one-half (1/2) of one (1) percent of the total fund thus provided and further, that in no case shall more than one-third (1/3) of the cost of constructing bridges of this state be paid by the state from such fund. "The purpose and object of the amendment is (1st) to eliminate from the Constitution the requirement that the commission shall be appointed to have charge of the expenditure of the road and bridge fund. This legislature to have a state highway commission or not; (2nd) to in- Let Us Send You This Splendid Buck's Base Burner for Thirty Days' Free Trial IT is made to heat more space with less fuel than any other stove in America.

The legislature may levy less tax, but can not exceed one-million of a mill. The proviso shows how it will be divided among the counties. THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The third proposed amendment to the Constitution is contained in Chapter 283 of the Laws of 1905, and is as follows: **Section 18.** Any person may sell or peddle a garden or farm occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor. This proposed amendment is intended to be added to Article one of the Constitution, which is known as the bill of rights, and will, if adopted, be Section 18 of said Article, leaving all of the Articles in effect. The only change that would be effected thereby would be to enable any farmer or gardener to sell the land which he occupies and cultivate, within any city or village in the state by peddling the same from about taking out a peddler's license. Respectfully, - Edward T. Young, past president, Dated St. Paul, July 1, 1906. The Plagues of Egypt. That the present prevalence of tuberculosis is directly traceable to the ex-1950s, when the disease was sorted by Dr. Rafaelie Sorgnac, lecturer in the Department of Microbiology in a recent monograph *Bordeaux Part II*, and *Health*. The startling part of the disease is the tubercle cacillin can live for thousands of years in the bodies of the dead when pre-1950s was the peak. "The great spread," says Dr. Sorgnac, "throughout Europe and America in the past 100 years found its causation in the over the land of the mummies which had been buried for years in the tombs of the Pharaohs. "The start of tuberculosis in France in the 18th century was caused by the great importation or murder of mummies at the time of the Napoleon's invasion," gave the disease its first great foothold in Europe. The Eastern world and throughout the eastern hemisphere as well. Dead bodies were brought to the Egyptians of the time of the French conquest, lodging places for the tubercular bacillus. "The batellill from the mummies are un- known," she said, shown by experiments in Paris that these aged bacilli are infinitely more deadly than those from live persons who are infected." for the daily press are ever in their suggestions that tuberculosis was the great plague of the Piarhoa of Exodus, and that the disease of for their sins are getting a taste of it. Apparently, however, this and similar inferences form no part of Dr. Sorgnac's conclusions.—2x. DR. HURD 91 E. Seventh St. Specialty — Painless extracting, crown and bridge work.
