EASTERN STAR SESSION. the session of the Grand Eastern mer chapter held in Kansas City last was one of the most successful field in the history of the order in Kansas. In point of attendance, in jurisdiction, in finance, and in increase made a most noteworthy showing the order. We are agreed that the officers of most year have done a most com- plible work in pushing the order to front and all join in singing words orise of Mrs. Alice Brown, of Kansas City, who led the order dur- its successful career during the year, and no little credit is given of Solomon G.

Grand Matron, Grand Patron, Officers and Members of Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Kansas and Jurisdiction. It becomes my privilege to welcome this Grand Lodge to Kansas, City, the metropolis of the State of Kansas, and in doing this I recognize the fact that you are citizens of one of the greatest states in the widdle western part of this country; that you have come from excellent homes where there is refinement and luxury. The wheat, cattle and hogs are shipped to Kansas City, the great distributing point for the West. If you want flour we will return to you the product which you sent us in its finished condition. The rich valleys of the Euphrates furnished an abundance of produce when all the surrounding country suffered. So our own Kaw valley will yield enough for Kansas and some for visitors. Visit our great elevators, our fine packing houses, our excellent stock yards, which are among the greatest in the country. Our city was founded in a time of strife and when the good and bay elements were contesting their strength for the supremacy. It is therefore necessary that the foundation be a sure one. The founders are dead but the works still stand to be completed by the great great grandchildren. Through floods we have already come but are cleaning from garret to cellar and are glad to have visitors here to see how a city of 70,000 protect and support the visitors. This is a cosmopolitan city; its population is made up of people from all sections of the country and of people acquainted with all the customs of society. The latch string hangs on the outside to the best and we gladly receive you from all sections of the country and especially from the states represented here today. Our homes were built for the protection of our friends. So around our firesides there will be a place for you; at our table a plate will be placed there for you. Our public building and private enterprises are open if you wish to see, walk in. Since you are here to work with us our first desire is that much good be done, and we expect it to be said that when this session shall have adjourned, that it was good to be here; and, furthermore, it was the most excellent meeting held during the establishment of this Grand Lodge. But in the midst of all we want you to have all the pleasure and comfort afforded by a city of so much attraction as Kansas City. And in the name of Sheba Chapter, No. 18, and all the other chapters of this city, we welcome you and hope that after the adjournment of this Grand Lodge the fraternal relations which have hitherto existed may be more firmly cemented, and furthermore that this meeting of the Grand Lodge marked a "new era" in the history of the Grand Chapter of the border of Eastern Star. I bid you godspeed, welcome, thrice welcome. FANNIE TEARRAULT. RESPONSE TO ADDRESS OF WELCOME. By Miss Olivia V. Porter, Oswego, Kan. To the Chapters of Kansas City, to Prince Hall Gran Chapter O. E. S., at A. M. E. Church: In behalf of P. H. G. and Chapter O. E. S of Kansas and Colorado and urisdiction, I take much pleasure in responding to this most cordia welcome extended us by Electa Chapter No. 2 and Sheba No. 18. Could all the members composing our grand body be permitted to speak at once, the rumben of words uttered thereby could only in part express our gratitude for such a royal welcome. And we assure you we shall not abuse one privilege accorded us. When we left our different homes, some many miles away we knew not what should befall us here, yet we knew that among the inhabitants composing this great city dwelt soem who had seen His star in the east and we fet safe to worship here, and with such a demonstration as we have we bid adieu to the fields of timidity and enter the welcome gates ajar and feel that our stay shall be so pleasant that when we depart we shall say the half can never be told. This meeting, when it closes, marks the passing of the 23rd mile post of this noble order, and we can say that all the achievements of which we boast were not attained amid paths be decked with roses. Thorns were encountered here and there. But woman, the noblest work of God, knows how to depend on His promises, thereby keeping the Old Star shining in all its glory, furnishing light for the pathway of many a weary pilgrim. We have assembled in this annual meeting to review the work of the past year, and with the eagerness of Ruth as she gleaned in the field of Boaz we have worked, and bring as the result of our gleanings in the form of reports and suggestions, the comparison of which enables us to know where to apply our forces to accomplish the most good. Stars are the emblem of brightness. Their five bright petals are like five beckoning hands outstretched to the world. They offer as a message of peace. Such is the mission of our Stars here, and with the co-operation promised we shall be able to shine forth in all our brightness so when we depart you shall ascribe us fairest among thousands, altogether lovely.

The Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Leavenworth, Kansas, held a very impressive memorial service at the Tabor hall last Sunday, Aug. 12, in honor of the founding of the Order. The following very interesting program was rendered: 1 History of Father Moses Dickson—by Dtr. Ella McKinnis, G. V. P. 2 Address by Rev. Sir Frank Wilson, C. G. M. 3 Building o the Order by Dtr.

In dealing with the school situation, the political situation, or any other situation thereto at this time, the colored people can and should very wisely dispense with so much public "mass meetings." These meetings are generally only places where a few windy fellows eagerly come to pour forth their meaningless "hot air oratory" and introduce "stem winding" resolutions that are not worth the paper they are written on and does les goods. Besides that, these mass meetings generally put the other fellow into your plans and he can easily upset them and you, too. These meetings would be all right if the colored men would act every day like they generally talk on that night—but they know they do not mean a word and go out next day and do just opposite to what they talk, so these meetings have been the cause of breeding more liars and thus make men lie, than any other one cause of which we know, and we think it time to "cut them out" and give the colored people a chance to act a little and not talk so infernal much. Action counts; talk is cheap. Stop being so cheap. Colored men must learn not to run off so much at the mouth, but act, and let their actions show. "Actions will speak louder than words," and lasts longer. What the race needs now is not so many windy men who are so anxious to air themselves or their race and make "grand stand plays" but men who will say a little and act a great deal. That's what we need. Let us let these mass meetings and easy resolutions rest for a while and let us get down to business and act a little. As a rule the other people know all about what was sal dand done at these meetings almost before they are over-so why have them? Let your acts so shine that men may know that the men of the colored race are at least awake and in action. Mrs. C. C. Hickinson is at her home, 1055 N. Mead, on the sick list this week. THE NEW WAY LYNCHING. Mayfield, Ky.—Allen Mattins, the self-confessed criminal who attacked Miss Eibel McClaim near this city was brought here from Paducah under a strong military guard. A crowd of 500 people were at the depot here when Matthis arrived, but offered no violence to the prisoner probably because he was surrounded by soldiers. Twice attempts were made to get the Negro between here and Paducah, but the military repulsed the attacks. In ten minutes after the prisoner arrived here, court was in session, the jury returned a verdict after questioning the Negro, in eight minutes. The prisoner appeared to take the verdict as a matter of course. Matthis was led to the gallows at 7:38 and the trap was sprung by Sheriff's Deputy Elmore. The black was dead in thirty seconds thereafter. Following is the case chronologically: Arrived at Mansfield, 7:30. Arrived at court house, 7:35. Arraigned, found guilty and condemned to hang, 7:40. Hanged, 7:45. Total time from start to finish of this case, 15 minutes. Great God! though nature has no bounds, so let thy pardon love be found. A MOTHER'S LOVE. "The love of a mother is never exhausted; it never changes, it never tires. A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands, but a mother's love endures through all; in good repute, in bad repute, in the face of the world's condemnation, a "mother" still loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil ways and repent; still she remembers the infant smiles that once filled her bosom with rapture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of his childhood, the opening proimse of his youth and she can never be brought to think him all unworthy."—Washington Irving. The Santa Fe will run a big excursion from Wichita to Kansas City, Saturday night, August 18th, for the extremely low rate of three dollars ($3.00) for the round trip. This will offer a golden opportunity to those who would wish to spend a pleasant day in the "Hub" of the Southwest. The excursion train will leave Wichita, Saturday night, August 18th, at 11:50, arriving in Kansas City in time for breakfast Sunday morning, and as the train returning does not leave till late Sunday night it will give the excursionists a whole day in Kansas City, and will arrive in Wichita in time for breakfast Monday morning.

PARTY PERFIDY. Glutted with political power in every branch of the government, at this time, the Republican party does not feel that it is necessary that it should live up to party principles, party platform or the Constitution of the United States. A political party without honor, made so by the honorable men who lead the same, is not one whit better than personal, individual perfidy. The Negro after forty years of faithful political service, awakes to find that he has depended upon a broken reed; that he has been mortally wounded in the house of his friends, and now in all of his helplessness, has been left to the mercy of his bitter political enemies. In the face of this inhuman treatment has the Negro enough political sense to turn this condition of helplessness into power? Will he remain supine and permit those who have deserted him to enjoy the barter which has been made of his civil and political rights, without so much as a protest? If Negro men thus quietly submit, they deserve all the outrages and political indignities which are heaped upon WANTED! WANTED!! WANTED!!!

To be sure, it is only certain days in the week that the road is to be open for motor cars, and they must leave Brigue before three lock in the afternoon, and must stop whenever there is danger of bumping cattle; but the wedge has entered, and there is reason to believe that the other cantons will soon follow the example of Valais. The opening of the Brunig pass, which connects Lucerne with Interlaken, will probably not be long delayed. While there is thus a growing tolerance of automobiles, there seems to the multiplication of mountain railways, especially in the Engadine, where both the Piz Llangand and the Piz Julier projects have been voted down. The broadeners have also made up their minds to rescue their scenery from the ravages of advertisers; the hotelkeepers have resolved to boycott all items that mar it with their placards. The chief problem now confronting these hotel keepers is how to permeate tourists that June and September are the most enjoyable months in the Alps. As much as they daily are to turn away applicants for rooms in July and August their moves in giving such advice are apt to questioned. They might cite Rusin, says the New York Post, who told to chide his countrymen for visiting Switzerland in midsummer in head of in May and June; but this argument is apt to be spoiled by theather. The season was so late this year that the Furka pass could not opened to traffic before June 9, or the Grimsel pass till June 18, and the first diligence over the Grimsel passed between walls of snow eight yards high! Some Brief Biographical Notes. Some Brief Biographical Notes. A man out in Rochester, Ia., says Sarah Bernhardt was born in this country, lived here until a young man and that she has relatives in number of American cities. This quite true and it's surprising that should create any comment, reckles the Pittsburgh Press. Sarah is born in New York state and unive or six years old was a playmate Tsi Ann, the empress dowager of ma, whose folks ran a laundry in the same block. The Togos and Rosstenskys lived just around the corr and all the members of the four mills were close friends. Sarah did not appear first in "Uncle Tom's Cabot" but in a German comedy written a descendant of William Shakespeare who lived in Kansas. Personsishing to know more of the details Sarah's early life please write. Needed Right Now. A popular article of household furniture among Americans in the Philippines is said to be the "refrigeratingove." This stove is designed to keep people cool instead of hot, explains the New York Press. Just as we heat our houses in the states in winter with coal stoves, so the wanderer who was set up housekeeping in the Philippines cools his house with a coldove. The cold stoves are made to look something like an ordinary stove, and being fed with ammonia and chemicals, give out radiations of coldaves instead of heat. One can imagine a family gathering around the refrigeratingove for coolness on a night in the Philippines just as a cold night in the states they had accustomed to gather around the actor stove for warmth. Some muck-raker should give his attention to the pure food problem in India, says the New York Tribune. In Northern India the favorite article of set is a gray shale. This is excavated mostly at Meth, in Bikanir, and exported to the Punjab at the rate 2,000 camel loads a year. In different districts different varieties of meat are eaten, but, if the natives have some time a taste for a special kind of mud, as the habit increases the deceived appetite soon becomes satisfied with bricks and broken pots. Plate ant soil, with the nests and its themselves, is a great delicacy. At the works of a Warrington firm soapmakers the girl employes are encouraged to sing part-songs while work. The object is to relieve the monotony. In the departments that number more than 30 girls and have noisy machinery, they are encouraged to sing during the last hour of work in the morning and in the afternoon. They have had an earthquake recently in Wales. How it must have taken up the Welsh rabbits! COBURN'S ESTIMATE. days Kansas Has Raised 91,385,670 Bush of Wheat This Year—Corn Gaining. Topoka, Aug. 16.—F. D. Coburn, secretary of the Kansas state board of agriculture, estimates the Kansas wheat crop for 1906 at 91,385,676 bushels. The report issued by Mr. Coburn Tuesday is based on the conditions as found by the board's correspondents August 8. This is the first estimate of the yield of wheat for 1906, the report issued June 8 being the acreage and per cent of condition. The report follows: This year's yield of winter wheat, as stated at this time by the men who have grown it, and who are now threeding and marketing it, is 91,385-676 bushels, a very large proportion of which is of more than the usual high quality. The average on the entire area sown is given as 14.7 bushels, but the government report issued August 10 estimated the average yield per acre at 15.3 bushels. The year's crop, as reported at this time, is 20 per cent larger than that of last year. 41 per cent more than the 1904 yield, and is the state's second greatest. The area planted to corn is 6,562-856 acres, using last years figures for the one county whose assessors have not yet reported. This is 236,899 acres less than last year. While nearly two-thirds of the counties report present conditions—based on 100 as a satisfactory situation—ranging from 90 to 100 or above, the other third, comprising not a few of the foremost in area of corn, brings the average for the whole state to 88; the report for June gave it as 79—a gain since then of nine points. BERGE IS FAVORITE. Nebraska Democrats and Populists Both Favor the Forma Candidate for Governor. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 16.—When the democrats of Nebraska met here Wednesday for their state nominating convention, the purpose which seemed to be uppermost in the minds of the delegates was to do nothing which might displease William J. Bryan, in behalf of whose proposed presidential candidacy the Nebraska democrats desire to insure the greatest possible degree of harmony. The convention met at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon with Judge C. M. Skiles, of David City, as temporary chairman. The gubernatorial candidate who showed the most strength at the opening of the convention was Geosrge W. Berge, of Lincoln, who was the nominee of the democrats and populists against Gov. Mickey two years ago. There was some opposition to Berge from a few of the democrats who opposed further fusion with the populists, but as Berge has declared that he is a democrat, this rapidly disappeared. The populists of Nebraska also held their convention here Wednesday, meeting in another hall at the hour named for the democratic convention. George W. Berge was also the favorite with the populists for the nomination for governor. Women Seize a Joint Columbus, Kan., Aug. 16.—Twenty-five women of Columbus went to a "joint" a mile north of town and took possession. They tasted the beer and whisky and sent ten of their number back to town to lay the matter before the county attorney, intending to swear out a complaint. The county attorney could not be found. The women have possession of the "joint" and they expect to remain there until an officer can be induced to file proper papers for closing it as a nuisance. There is no open saloon in Columbus. Territory Masons in Session Ardmore, I. T., Aug. 16.—The Indian territory Masonic Grand lodge began its session here Tuesday. Grandmaster Choate recommended in his annual address the early erection of the orphans' home for which a fund of $50,000 has been raised. Reports of the grand secretary show a big increase in membership during past fiscal year. Question of merging Oklahoma and Indian territory into one body discussed but no action was taken. A Philippine Commission. San Francisco, Aug. 16.—Maj. Gen. Wood of the United States army, has summoned a commission to the Philippines to investigate the conduct of United States army officers on duty in the islands. He is keeping secret the object of his investigation and even the members of the commission declare they do not know what they are to do. They will receive their instructions when they land at Manila. Gen. Edwards Improving. Washington, Aug. 16.—Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, who is at Fort Bayard, Mexico, undergoing treatment for an affection of the throat is reported to be almost completely recovered and will return to his duty at the war department at Washington about November 1, if his improvement continues. Kansas Editor a Suicide. Louisburg, Kan., Aug. 16—R. H. Cadwalader, for 20 years editor of the Louisburg Herald, committed suicide at his home here by shooting. He had suffered financial losses. Mr. Cadwalader was forty years old and leaves a widow and two children. "AN OLD PAINTER'S IDEAS." The autumn season is coming more and more to be recognized as a most suitable time for housepainting. There is no frost deep in the wood to make trouble for even the best job of painting, and the general seasoning of the summer has put the wood into good condition in every way. The weather, moreover, is more likely to be settled for the necessary length of time to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a very important precaution. An old and successful painter said to the writer the other day: "House owners would get more for their money if they would allow their painters to take more time, especially between coats. Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry enough not to be 'tacky', several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through. It is inconvenient, of course, but, if one would suffer this slight inconvenience, it would add two or three years to the life of the paint." All this is assuming, of course, that the paint used is the very best to be had. The purest of white lead and the purest of linseed oil unmixed with any cheaper of the cheap mixtures, often known as "White Lead," and oil which has been doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn oil or other of the adulterants known to the trade are used, all the precautions of the skilled painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly in a year or so and therefore, make painting bills too frequent and costly. House owner should have his painter bring the ingredients to the premises separately, white lead of some well known reliable brand and linseed oil of equal quality and mix the paint just before applying it. Painting need not be expensive and unsatisfactory if the old painter's suggestions are followed. He Hit the Bookmaker. Patrick Murphy had an afternoon off, so he thought he would go out to see the horse races. Pat had heard about the fortunes made at the race track, so he thought he would try his luck. He went down stairs before every race, but didn't find any odds that suited him until the last race. It was a large gray horse. I don't remember its name, but it suited Pat all right, for it had 50-1 after it. Pat put up his dollar and went upstairs to see the race. His horse won by a neck. Pat hurried down-stairs with a lively step to cash in his check. It was the last race of the day and the bookmaker was anxious to get rid of his silver, therefore Pat was paid with silver dollars. Pat stood there a few minutes fumbling over his handful of silver dollars, when the bookmaker hollered: "What's the matter, Irish? Don't you think they are good?" Pat said: "They look all right, but I am just trying to see if I can find the bad one I gave you among them." NOTRE DAME ALWAYS CHARMS Often as I have seen Notre Dame, the marvel of it never grows less. I go to Paris with no thought or time for it, busy about many other things; and then, on my way over one of the bridges across the river, perhaps, I see it again on its island, the beautiful towers high above the high roofs of houses and palaces, and the view, now so familiar, strikes me afresh with all the wonder of my first impression. The wonder only seems greater if I turn, as I am always tempted to, and walk down the quays on the left bank, the towers before me and with every step coming more and more completely together, by the Pont Neuf, to the island, and at last to the great square where Notre Dame fronts me in its superb calm.—Elizabeth Robins Pennell, in The Century. AN OLD TIMER. Has Had Experiences. A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since it came upon the market 5 years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum, and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with completely satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner.

NO POLITICAL QUESTIONS AT ISSUE Mr. Root Declared that There Were No Grievances Between the Argentine Republic and the United States and No Scores or Grudges to Settle -Address Pleased Southerners. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 16.—At the official banquet given at the government house Tuesday evening by President Alcorta, in honor of Secretary Root to which the diplomatic corps and high officers of state only were invited, the secretary made what was considered the most important speech he has delivered while on his tour. The scene was most brilliant. Rising to tender the secretary an official welcome and proposing the health of Mr. Root, the president traced the similarity in the constitutions, progress and success in overcoming obstacles, of North and South America, and dwelt especially on the mutual advantage of closer friendship between the races. In replying, Mr. Root said: "I thank you sir, for your kind welcome and for your words of appreciation. I thank you for myself. I thank you for that true and noble gentleman who holds in the United States of America, the same exalted office which you hold here. I thank you for the millions of citizens in the United States. "We inherit the right to be interested in the Argentine republic and to be proud of the Argentine people. From the time when Benjamin Rush was fighting, from the day when James Monroe threw down the gauntlet of a weak republic, we were then in defense of its independence and rights and from that day to this interest and the friendship of the people of the United States for the Argentine republic have never changed. We rejoice in your prosperity. We are proud of your achievements. We feel that you are maintaining our great thesis which demands the possession the enjoyment and the control of the earth to the people who inhabit it. So how can the people of the United States help feeling a friendship and sympathy for the people of Argentine? I deemed it a duty to come in response to your kind invitation to say this and to say that there is not a cloud in the sky of good understanding. There are no political questions at issue between Argentine and the United States. There is no thought of grievance by one against the other. There are no old grudges or scores to settle. We can rejoice in each other's prosperity. We can assist in each other's development. We can be proud of each other's successes without hindrance or drawback and for the development of this sentiment in both countries, nothing is needed, but more knowledge. That we shall know each other better and that not only the most educated and thoughtful readers of our countries shall become familiar with the history of the other but that the entire body of the people shall know what are the relations and what are the feelings of the other country. I should be glad that the people of the Argentine republic, not merely you, Mr. Presidents, not merely my friend, the minister of foreign relations, not merely the gentleman connected with the government, but the people of Argentine might know the feeling with which the people of the United States are their friends as I know the people of the Argentine republic are the friends of the United States. "I have come to South America with no more specific object than I have stated. Our traditional policy in the United States of America is to make no alliances. It was inculcated by Washington. It has been adhered to by his successors ever since. But, Mr. President, the alliance that comes from unwritten and unsealed instruments, as that from the convention and ratified with all formalities, is of vital importance. We make no alliances but we make an alliance with all our sisters in sentiment and feeling in the pursuit of liberty and justice, in mutual helpfulness and in that spirit I beg to return to you, sir, and to your government and the people of this splendid and wonderful country my sincere thanks for the welcome you have given me and my country, in my person." Mr. Root's speech was received with vociferous applause and the greatest possible satisfaction. Treasury Buys Silver Washington, Aug. 16.—Pursuant to the announcement of the secretary of the treasurer that he desired to receive tenders of silver Wednesday, four bids were made to Director Roberts of the mint. The bids were opened Wednesday afternoon nd, after being submitted to Secretary Shaw, it was announced that the government had purchased 50,000 ounces of silver, 999 fine, at 66.62 cents an ounce.

"For a long time I suffered with sores on the hands which were itching, painful and disagreeable. I had three doctors, and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; another said I never could be cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands in the water in the dye-house where I work. I saw in the papers about the wonderful cures of the Cuticura Remedies and procured some of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In three days after the application of the Cuticura Ointment my hands began to peel and were better. The soreness disappeared, and they are now smooth and clean, and I am still working in the dye-house. Mrs. A. E. Maurer, 2340 State St., Chicago, Ill., July 1, 1905." Chamois Skin of Commerce. Chamois skin of Commerce: Charles C. Drueling, of Philadelphia, has written an article for the American Journal of Pharmacy on the subject of chamois skins. What is known in the market as chamois skins, he says, is really an oil-tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply of skins from the chamois animal is very limited—enough could not be obtained in a year to supply the United States for more than a single day. He made special inquiry on a recent visit to Switzerland about the annual crop of the chamois skin and ascertained that from 5,000 to 6,000 skins would be a fair average yearly crop. This skin is heavier than the skin of the sheep or lamb, also much coarser. For strength and durability the chamois skin is preferable, but for ordinary use and appearance the oil-tanned sheep skin lining would, in most instances, be preferred. The University of Notre Dame, it appears, has some features that can not be duplicated in any other school. It is one of the old, well-established colleges, with numerous reaching back sixty-four years, with many fossors and excellent library and laboratory equipment. Its discipline is of the paternal kind—strong without being oppressive; and as it embraces in its scope the grammar school, high school and college, it is a potent. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the famous Indiana University, however, is the fact that it has arrived at its present marvelous development absorbed in the announcement of the courses provided at Notre Dame appears on another page. Preach from Automobiles. A novel method of preaching the gospel was recently tried in France with striking success. Pastor Delattre from Roame (Reformed church), in company with Pastor Sainton, of the Baptist church, in Paris, visited with an automobile the departments of Loire, Rhone, Alier, Saone et Loire, within a radius of about 90 miles. Pastor Delattre writes: "During nearly two months, from our automobile, we have been able to preach the gospel on market places, from fair to fair, distributing thousands of tracts and selling no less than 2,600 copies of the New Testament."

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Tigers Tap Rubber Trees. Near Perak in the Malay peninsula is a prosperous rubber factory run by a long-headed Scotchman. In order to obtain the sap from which the rubber is made it is necessary to puncture the bark of the trees. Laborers are scarce in that district, but there are an abundance of tigers. There were not enough men to "tap" the trees, but the Scotch proprietor hit on a brilliant idea. He knew that tigers are fond of valerian, so he gave orders that all the trees should be rubbed with this stuff. The tigers came up and caressingly scratched the bark in the most approved herringbone fashion, after which all that the coolies had to do was to walk around once a day and collect the rubber. Grocer Was Getting Even. "That was tit for tat with a vengeance," said Walter Christie, the automobilist, apropos of a quarrel between two French chaufeurs. "It reminds me of a grocer I used to know in Paint Rock. This grocer went over to the jeweler's one day to get a new crystal put on his watch. The latter as he fitted and cleaned the crystal suddenly flushed. He bit his lip and frowned. His hand trembled so that he could hardly go on with his task. Finally, handing the watch to the grocer, the jeweler said in a restrained voice: 'Beg pardon, but didn't I just see you put a couple of rings and a scarfpin in your pocket?' "Sure you did," said the grocer, boldly. 'When you come to my place aren't you always putting things in your mouth?" A WINNING START. A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force for the Day. Everything goes wrong if the breakfast lies in your stomach like a mud pie. What you eat does harm if you can't digest it—it turns to poison. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says: "Two years ago I contracted a very annoying form of indigestion. My stomach was in such a condition that a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great distress. "I was slow to believe that trouble could come from such a simple diet but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course and have not suffered except when injudicious varying my diet.

TOPICS DISCUSSED ARE KEPT SECRET Foreign Offices of Both Countries, Observe Strict Silence Regarding the Matters Under Discussion by Their Rulers—Significance in the Presence of the British Secretary of the Foreign Office. Cronberg, Prussia, Aug. 16—King Edward arrived here Wednesday on a special train from Frankfort at 8:45 a. m. Emperor William and Prince and Princess Frederick Charles of Hess-Nassau met him at the railroad station. The emperor assisted the king in alighting and then they kissed each other on both cheeks. The meeting was very cordial. The king wore a black prince albert coat and a silk hat. The emperor had on a uniform of the Posen Jaeger regiment, with a steel helmet. King Edward was accompanied by Sir Charles Harding, permanent under-secretary of the foreign office; and Maj. Gen. Sir Stanley Clarke, chief equerr, and Maj. Frederick E. G. Ponsonby, equerr to his majesty. Sir Frank Lascelles, the British ambassador to Germany and the British consul general, Francis Openheimer, joined the royal party at Frankfort. After introductions had been exchanged the royal party and their following proceeded to Friedrichshof in automobiles the emperor, King Edward and Prince and Princess Frederick Charles occupying the first machine. The streets were profusely decorated with evergeens, flags and streamers. The sovereigns were heartily cheered by the crowds and school children, who were lined up all along the route. Many Englishmen from surrounding watering places were also present. After reaching Friedrichshof the royal party breakfasted and then the emperor and king spent some time together. About 11 o'clock they with Prince and Princess Frederick Charles, went sightseeing and, after lunch, a visit at the king's wish was made to Homburg and the Roman Camp at Salburg. It is understood his appearance in civilian clothes was at the emperor's request. At luncheon the party included the crown prince of Greece and his sister, the Grand Duchess Georg Michallovich. A programme of assiduous sightseeing and drives has created the impression among those surrounding their majesties that they wish to avoid prolonged political discussions. London, Aug. 16—The strictest silence is maintained in official circles to the subjects to be discussed by King Edward and Emperor William at their meeting at Friedrichshof. Up to the last minute it was not admitted at the foreign office that Sir Charles Hardinge would accompany the king. He had been away on a holiday and broke it up to join the royal party on the continent. His presence adds significance to the meeting, for, as the permanent under secretary of the foreign office, he is really the man who carries on the foreign affairs of the country and the fact that he is attending King Edward leads to the belief here that the discussion between their majesties will be of the widest range, taking in all questions outstanding between the two countries and those likely to come up in the future. Germany at present is more directly interested in Persia than any other country and it is believed here that her aim is to secure a port on the Persian gulf as a terminus for the Bagdad railway. Berlin, Aug. 16.—The press of all sections treats King Edward's visit to Emperor William from the standpoint of being a sign of improved relations between him and the emperor and the belief and hope are generally expressed that the visit will have a beneficial effect on the peoples of both countries, besides putting their political relations on a better footing. The papers, however, avoid all extravagant hopes in this direction, evidently trying to keep within the safe minimum of practical results. Nobody expects positive political arrangements but the Cologne Gazette which usually reflects the views of the foreign office, expects the rulers fully to discuss all political questions concerning Germany and Great Britain besides the general position of European politics. A tone of sincere admiration for the king pervades all the leading articles. Emporia Pioneer Dead. Emporia, Kan., Aug. 16.—William T. Soden, a pioneer Kansan and one of the wealthiest men in the state, died last night at Boulder, Colo., aged 71 years. He came to Kansas in 1857 and in 1860 established the Emporia water mills, one of the largest in the state. He was vice president of the Emporia National Bank. A Standard Oil Dividend New York, Aug. 16.—Directors of the Standard Oil company Wednesday declared a dividend of $6 a share on the company's stock. This compares with a dividend of $9 three months ago and $6 a year ago. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed FINEST FROUT IN THE WORLD Found in Small Stream in the High Sierra, Says Expert. The finest trout in the world, says Dr. Barton W. Evermann of the bureau of fisheries, is to be found in a little stream of the high Sierras in southern California called Volcano creek. The trout is named the "golden trout," and in beauty of coloring gameness and delicacy of flavor it has no equal. So far as is known, it exists only in this stream, which is about 20 miles in length. President Roosevelt recently called attention of the bureau of fisheries to this unique specimen, with the result that Dr. Evermann was sent to California to study its habits and environment and to see whether it might not be introduced elsewhere. He reports that the trout is in danger of extermination and that fishing in the stream must be prohibited by the state of California for three years if the trout is to be saved. Dr. Evermann has also recommended that the bureau of fisheries undertake the artificial propagation of the trout and co-operate with the state of California in transplanting it to a number of barren streams that can be easily reached.—National Geographic Magazine. BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING. It Is Dedicated by the W. L. Douglas Co. at Brockton. The dedication a short time ago of the new administration and jobbing house building erected by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of its mammoth manufacturing plant at Montello was marked by the thoroughness and attention to detail characteristic of the firm in all its undertakings. The dedicatory program included open house from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. with concert by the Mae Gay orchestra and the presence of a Boston caterer to attend to the wishes of all. The building itself afforded a feast for the eye, especially the offices, which are marvels in many ways. Fifteen thousand invitations were sent out, including over 11,000 to the retail dealers in the United States who handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes, the others going to shoe manufacturers and all allied industries in Brockton and vicinity. Mr. Douglas will be glad to have anybody who is interested call and inspect the new plant, and says "the latch string is always out." All departments of the plant were open for inspection, the three factories as well as the new building, and visitors were received and escorted through the industrial maze by ex-Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads of the various departments. Under the present system all shoes are manufactured to order, and customers sometimes lose sales waiting for shoes to arrive. With the new jobbing house they will be enabled to have their hurry orders shipped the same day they are received. The new building is 260 feet long and 60 feet wide and two stories in height. The jobbing department will occupy the entire lower floor, while the offices will occupy the second floor. The jobbing department will carry a complete stock of men's, boys', youths', misses' and children's shoes, slippers, rubbers and findings equal to any jobbing house in the country. Buyers are especially invited to come here to trade, and every effort possible will be made to suit their convenience. There will be a finely appointed sample room on the second floor, with an office in which both telephone and telegraph will be installed, with operators, both Western Union and Postal Telegraph wires to be used. There will also be arrangements for the receipt and despatch of mail. Rich Women Have Troubles. The idea that fashionable women are too busy and had too many interests to feel acute sorrow over their broken crockery was disproved the other day when Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish went into the principal dry goods store in Newport with a friend who stopped to watch a man who was selling cement for cut glass and called to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is a cement for cut glass which not only mends it but makes it ring as clearly as if it were new." Mrs. Fish called back: "My servants break so much of my glass now that it is heartbreaking and if they knew it were possible to mend it they would break it all, so I don't care for any, thank you." Deaf Women Form Club. One of the most curious clubs on record has recently been formed by society women in Berlin. The principal condition of membership is that the applicant must be deaf. The club has over a hundred members, who meet regularly once a week in handsomely furnished rooms in the Wilhelmstrasse, where they converse by means of ear trumpets and sign language and drink tea.

"A number of ladies were seated in a hotel parlor, and one of them, commenting on a woman who was standing in the hallway, said: "Mrs. Loraine seems unusually happy this morning." "Yes," answered a companion, knowingly, 'the ladies of Newark gave a tea in her honor yesterday. But doesn't her husband look gloomy and dejected? "That is true.' admitted the first speaker. I presume the gentlemen of Newark gave a beer in his honor last night." Nicotine in Tobacco. A scientist writes: "The essential quality for which tobacco is smoked or chewed lies not really in the leaves themselves, but is contained in thousands of hollow-knobbed hairs which cover their surface. The vital nicotine is garnered in these pearlike balls, but as it is impossible to shave off these hairs, and would be a scarcely commendable achievement if it could be undertaken, it becomes necessary to preserve the whole foliage for commercial purposes."

Dennis, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "I have used and prescribed your Castoria in my sanitarium and outside practice for a number of years and find it to be an excellent remedy for children." Dr. S. A. Buchanan, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have used your Castoria in the case of my own baby and find it pleasant to take, and have obtained excellent results from its use." Dr. J. E. Simpson, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have used your Castoria in cases of colic in children and have found it the best medicine of its kind on the market." Dr. R. E. Eskildson, of Omaha, Neb., says: "I find your Castoria to be a standard family remedy. It is the best thing for infants and children I have ever known and I recommend it." Dr. L. R. Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria certainly has merit. Is not its age, its continued use by mothers through all these years, and the many attempts to imitate it, sufficient recommendation? What can a physician add? Leave it to the mothers." Dr. Edwin F. Pardee, of New York City, says: "For several years I have recommended your Castoria and shall always continue to do so, as it has invariably produced beneficial results." Dr. N. B.

HARRIS EXPLAINS REVOLU TIONARY TENDENICES He Is a Patrick Henry Democrat. FATAL CONCESSION HENRY WAS AGAINST A GOVERN- MENT BY THE PEOPLE. Ed Mr. Harris Says He Is: With Henry. What is a "Patrick Henry Democrat?" Col. W. A. Harris, of Chicago, Illinois, the man the Democrats seek to make Governor of Kansas, styled mariesneath Ct-theyyyvMq et etan himself a "Patrick Henry Democrat" in his opening speech at Fort Scott, which was intended by the party managers to mark the beginning of the democratic campaign in Kansas. Since that time there has been considerable circulation as to the meaning of the Illinois candidate for Governor of Kansas. Casual reference to history crosses the fact that Patrick Henry, despite his brilliant services to the states before and during the war of Revolution, opposed a constitutional government and fought to preset the ratification of the Constitution which brought the United States to life as a nation. Patrick Henry need to accept a seat in the Constitutional convention as a delegate to Virginia. He took the stump and take almost constantly against the dedication of the Constitution. It is Patrick Henry who prophesied at the ratification of the Federal institution would but mark the beginning of the end to the liberties of people. in other words, Patrick Henry was ardent a state's right man that he was opposed to any sort of constitutional union of the colonies. His career in Virginia was such that the application of the Constitution by thatony was greatly endangered and it required all the influence of George Washington to prevent its rejection, Patrick's disappointment at his defeat was so bitter that he never took part in the public affairs of the nation after became a nation under the Condition. Col. Harris says he is "a Patrick Henry Democrat." That he told the truth in some measure is defended by the fact that he earned a military title while fighting in an army which attempted to overthrow Constitution, the adoption of which Henry sought to prevent. But his from the state rights idea what Harris mean when he called himself "a "Patrick Henry Democrat?" is it simply a play on words? to touch the citizen who has gone no further into history than a study of Patrick Henry's record in the Continental Congress, or has it some real meaning? An answer from Col. Harw will be awaited with considerable interest. DEMOCRATS WERE SHY. candidates Refrained From Attending Lawrence Convention Instead of attending the Congressional convention where Democrats won all over the Second district wereathered, the State candidates went to die to attend the Neoosho county convention. The presence of Harris, Vermyer, Farrelly, et al, at Lawrence might have uncovered their sympathy with W. W. Rose, the law-defying mayor of Kansas City, Kansas, and they would have been compelled to see a stand either for or against Rose. So they stayed away. Secretly sympathy with Rose and his nullification policy, hoping to derive political benefit from Rose's defiance of law and the courts, Harris and Overyer did not go to Lawrence and simply aid the man they pretend to support and pretend to fight. Their platform declares for enforcement of the prohibitory law everywhere. But Harris and Overmyer release to specifically state whether they will or will not attempt to enforce the prohibition law in the so-called liberal communities, although they announce that they will carry these same "liberal" communities because of Governor Hoch's attitude for the enforcement of law. Fearful of being run in to a hole on the prohibition question they remained away from Lawrence. New people are being deceived by the sinister attempt to "carry water on both shoulders." J. W.

The earlier the better.—Editor. HARRIS IS PEEVISH. Democratic Candidate Confesses Humiliation of His Position. Colonel W. A. Harris, the Chicago Democrat, who has been nominated by the Kansas Democratic convention for Governor of Kansas, has reached the peevish stage of his campaign. He has arrived at the point where he believes that he has been tricked into taking the nomination which can only end in his defeat and return to the packing houses of Chicago, and he is unable to fix the blame for the trickery. He displayed his peevishness recently in a Kansas City hotel where he shut the door in the face of a newspaper man Colonel Harris prides himself on being an aristocrat; not an ordinary aristocrat, but one of the Southern variety. He and his little following of personal friends in the State feel that there is something magnetic about the Southern aristocrat and that the use of the geographical adjective will make him more popular among the members of his party. It is for this reason that the Colonel cannot stand the idea of being placed in a humiliating position. He realizes now that the Democrats who insisted that he take the nomination and who assured him that victory would be certain tricked him, or that they were ignorant of actual conditions in the State. It is this nomination as the result of trickery or ignorance that he cannot forgive. OWNS VACANT LOT. On This Trivial Basis Harris Claims Kansas Residence. Some folks inclined to support the Chicago "mail order" candidate for Governor of Kansas, suggest that the objection that Col. W. A. Harris does not live in Kansas is trivial. They are mistaken. Both the Constitution and the law contemplate that a man shall be a citizen of the State both in spirit and in fact before he is eligible to office under the state government. Col. Harris is not a citizen of Kansas in either spirit or fact. He removed from Kansas to Chicago when he was separated from public office in 1901. Since that time he has neither voted nor paid taxes in Kansas. Less than two years ago he testified under oath before the Inter-State Commerce commission that his residence was in Chicago. Less than one year ago he stated in an interview that he was not competent to state opinions regarding public questions in Kansas for the reason that he was out of touch with the politics of the State. Harris now says he intends to make his home at Lawrence. DEMOCRATIC DECEPTION. David Overmeyer Maintains His Flopping Tendencies. In a speech at Kansas City, Kansas, last Friday, David Overmyer said: "The Democrat who talks of voting the Republican ticket is not a Democrat. He is a traitor to his party." This was said to an audience of Democrats. In talking to audiences where there are Republicans, he and the other Democratic candidates, say this is an off year; that party lines should not be drawn, and that the really good citizen votes for the man and not for the party. Kansas is a Republican State, and Mr. Overmyer knows that the only hope of Democracy is in getting Republican votes; so he adjusts his talks to the audiences. But if a Democrat who votes the Republican ticket is a traitor, according to Mr. Overmyer, then a Republican who votes the Democratic ticket is a traitor also. SAME OLD STORY. Chairman Ryan Returns one Pass→ Keeps Useful Ones. W. H. Ryan, chairman of the Democratic State Central committee, with a flourish of his trumpets, has returned to the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe railroad a pass issued to him. He was seen riding a short time ago on a pass and is said to have been on one of the Southern Kansas lines of another railroad. There is no record of his having returned the other pass, because it is the one which he needs. He had little occasion to use the Santa Fe as it does not run through his territory. The average voter is not liable to be fooled by the demagogue who attempts to make political capital out of the pass question. There are men in Kansas who have been working for years to rid the state of the free pass and who have not been advertising the fact.
