UNVEILED AT WASHINGTON - The bronee statue of Frederick the ;> /' Great, presented to the America# peo- »~4^.v" pi© by Emperor William, was unveiled •• H at Washington Nov. 19 by the Baron- •'*," ess Speck von Sternberg* wife of the " German ambassador. |J . The statue was presented on behalf f'- of the emperor by his personal envoy, " the German ambassador, who made a ' *•_ brief address. President Roosevelt " made the chief address of the day and taccepted- the gift on behalf of the M,'"American people. Remark? were made ' by Lieut-Gen. Chaffee, chief of staff; Maj.-Gen. Gillespie, of the general staff, master of ceremonies; Lieut- Gen. von Loewenfeld, one of the spe- cial commissioners sent to the unveil­ ing by the emperor, and Charlemagne Tower, American ambassador to Ger­ many. Seldomhas the national capital wit­ nessed a more brilliant assemblage . than was gathered on the grand es­ planade of the army war college around the pedestal of the statue. Im- •» mediately back of the statue, on the president's stand, which was complete­ ly covered in red, white and blue bunt­ ing aiid decorated. with American flags, sat the president and his cab- ' inet, the German ambassador, th6 Baroness Speck von Sternberg, Lieut- Gen. von Loewenfeld and Maj. Count von Schmettow, the emperor's special commissioners to the unveiling, and the entire diplomatic corps, all in full uniform. On stands to the right and left of the statue were officers of the army and navy in full dress uniform, the members of the supreme court, mem­ bers of congress, and other invited guests. Directly in front of the ped­ estal of the statue were grouped the members of the German societies from various parts of th# country who came to Washington for the ceremony. Within the gates of the army war college along the line of march to the esplanade were stationed the troops in attendance. Early in the day Washington was alive with marching troops, and before noon mounted policemen gathered along the line of march. By 1 o'clock ' Pennsylvania avenue contained a Steady stream of carriages filled with diplomats and army and navy officers, whose brilliant uniforms excited gen­ eral attention and were the signal for the gathering of the crowds along the approaches to the war college. The president's flag was taken from the white honse in the forenoon and placed in the custody of the command­ er of the Washington baiTacks, ready to be raised the moment the presi­ dent's carriage was announced at the The Criminal Youth. Students now recognize the hope­ lessness of the confirmed; criminal and the tendency is to keep such locked up out of harm's way as much of the time as possible by means of cumula­ tive sentences and the discretion of parole boards, which can be used against the ingrained criminal as well as in favor of the boy who is not fundamentally vicious, but only weak or ignorant, or hungry. The old theory was that punishment should .be fitted to the offense, so many years of im­ prisonment for each grade of crime. The new system adapts it to the of­ fender, with the purpose of keeping him from association with hardened criminals if he be young and of keep­ ing him secluded from the possibility of harm once he becomes a confirmed "enemy of society." It is the applica­ tion to penology of the proverb about about the ounce of prevention. Stepped on Squirrel's Tail, A gray squirrel was caught in a" curious way recently by Harry Chur- buck on the Capt. Demeritt farm in Madbury, N. H. Churbuck jumped over a pasture fence to drive the cattle home, and was surprised to find that his foot had descended on the tail of a fine large gray, which attracted his attention by his frantic efforts to get fway. The squirrel was held down by the tail, while a lively effort was made to get a safe handhold on him. His unwitting captor finally succeeded, and carried Mr. Squirrel home alive. outer gates of the post The diplo­ mats, with the exception of the Ger­ man ambassador and his staff, drove informally to the'esplanade to await the arrival of the official party, which came in three groups. They arrived in inverse order of rank, the military group first, then the diplomatic group, and lastly the presidential group, each under escort of a troop of cavalry. To troojp A, Seventh cavalry, fell the honor of escorting the presidential party, which avenue along the route followed by the preceding cavalcades. The presidential party left the white house in carriages at 2 o'clock in the following order: The president, the secretary to the president and the president's aids, Col. Bromwelll and Commander Winslow, Mrs. Roosevelt and Maj. McCawley, the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, the attorney general, the postmaster general, the secretary of the navy, the secretary of the interior, the secre­ tary of agriculture, the secretary of commerce and labor, the acting secre­ tary of war and his aid, Brig.-Gen. Story, and Mrs. Oliver and the Misses Oliver, escorted by Capt. Micbie. As each party started, the escorting troops formed line and rendered the appropriate honors.; - r Two batteries of field artillery were stationed in the south battery of the post, and, upon the arrival at the gates of the several groups, fired the pre­ scribed salute, Lieut.-Gen. von Loew­ enfeld receiving fifteen guns, the Ger­ man ambassador nineteen guns and the president twenty-one guns. The firing of the president's salute of twenty-one guns had barely finished when his carriage reached the stair­ way of the war college terrace. The entire assemblage arose as he ascend­ ed the grand esplanade and remained standing until the master of cere­ monies, Maj.-Gen. Gillespie, had escort­ ed him to his seat in the front row of the president's stand and directly to the right of the statue. The presi­ dent's flag had been hoisted over the stand as soon as the first gun of his salute had boomed forth. The official program began with the invocation of Bishop Satterlee, the bishop of Washington. Maj.-Gen. Gil­ lespie then addressed the ambassador.. In closing he turned to Baroness von Sternburg, and, offering her his arm, escorted her to the edge of the statue, where were fastened the silken cords attached to the American and German flags in which it was shrouded. Grip­ ping the cords firmly, one in each hand, the baroness, with a tug, loos­ ened the silken folds from around the figure of Frederick the Great. Straight­ way twenty trumpeters of the army, drawn up in front of the president's stand, sounded a blare of welcome, and the Marine band played the Ger­ man national anthem. Baron Speck von Sternburg made the address of presentation in behalf of the German emperor. He referred to the friendly feeling existing be­ tween Germany and the United States, and expressed the kaiser's hope that the sentiment would continue and grow. Addressing Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassador, in his speech of acceptance, President Roosevelt said: "In accepting the statue given us to- 'day through you from the German em­ peror, I accept it not merely because it is the statue of a mighty and terri­ ble soldier, but I accept it as a symbol of the ties of friendship and good will -which I trust as the years go on will bind ever closer together the Ameri­ can and the German peoples. "There is kinship of blood between the two nations. We of the United States are of mixed stock. "We have in our veins the_ blood of the Englishman and the Irishman, the German and the Frenchman, the Scotchman, the Dutchman, the Scan­ dinavian, the Italian, the Magyar, the Finn, the Slay, so that to each of the great powers of the old world we can claim a more or less distant kinship by blood; and to each strain of blood we owe some peculiar quality in our national life or national character." Romance in Oyama's Life. Marchioness Oyama met her hus- bahd, the famous marshal, under ro­ mantic conditions. Her father was one of the most powerful insurgent leaders in the rebellion of 1868. The chateau in which her family resided was beseiged and held out long against the imperial forces. Eventually it was compelled to surrender and with it passed away the last strong­ hold of old Japan. When the chateau was taken over by the imperial troops, among whom was the present mar­ shal, Mile. Yamakawa, as the mar­ chioness was then called, departed for the United States, where she resided for ten years. On her return to Japan she again met the marshal and be­ came his wife. She now devotes all her time to the work of the Red Cross society and she is unremitting in her attention to the sick and wounded Russian prisoners. ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE FOR NEW YORK CENTRAL HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD COMPANY. 'THftfe $owefful electric locomo­ tive in the world has just been com­ pleted for the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad in the shops of >the General Electric Company and the American Locomotive Works at Schenectady, N. Y. This locomotive is one of between thirty and fifty which will be used by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company for hauling the through passenger trains within its Electrical Zone from Grand Cen­ tral Station through the Park Avenue tunnel to Croton on the Main Line, a distance of 34 miles, and to White Plains on the Harlem Division, a dis­ tance Of 24 miles. This will be the heaviest steam rail­ way passenger service which has ever been handled by electric locomotives. With one of these locomotives trains of ten or more cars will be hauled at express speed of 60 to 70 miles per hour, and the design and method of control are such that two or more locomotives can be coupled together and operated by a single engineer from the leading cab, so that the size of the train that maV be under the control of one En­ gineer is practically unlimited so far as the question of motive power is concerned. For purpose of testing this locomo­ tive, six miles of the tfew York Cen­ tral track between Schenectady and Hoffmans has been equipped with a AND third rail. The tracll Is practically straight and ballasted to permit maxi­ mum speeds of 70 to 80 miles per hour being attained. The power is transmitted at 11,000 volts; the transmission line extending along the Erie Canal to about opposite the sub-station, where it crosses the Mohawk River on high towers. This power station, transmission line, sub-station equipment/and the six miles of track is, undoubtedly, the most complete testing plant ever pro­ vided for trial of electric railroad mo­ tive power, and with the facilities af­ forded, in addition to testing the new locomotives, much interesting and val­ uable Electric Railroad information will unquestionably be obtained. 1 POULTRY! 1----•--• » I - , . . i i . i n i " i •in ii 111 i i i i * !>ook Up Century Old Estate. Henry A. Lefebvre of Nashua, N. H., with Other heirs living at Suncook, is looking up an estate which they have inherited from a relative in Ger- mantown, Pa. The dead relative went from Canada and died in Germantown In 1805, or ninety-nine years ago, and his estate has increased vastly. The bulk of the estate is in the form of a Ravings bank deposit which was; made over a century ago, which amounted to $1,500 at the time, but which has increased to over $500,000; Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew was established about a score of years ago by a Chicago banker, and has just held- its nineteenth annual convention in Philadelphia. The Churchman says of the convocation that men to-day, as always, demand and respond to reality in religion. The society now embraces seven national organizations, seventy local assemblies, twenty-five hundred chapters and* twenty tkousand work­ ers. The rtecent convention was the largest ever held, and was attended by more than two thousand delegates. m A1.*' • - .i-jsjji' " V - rif- K|] • '1 It.,.' •'f f i'Ht, \ i J -v J ' ' ' J f . t . 1 i 1 1 ** i ' ^ ' 4 \V -k f > O Of . •iJL \ If > C " > wfr «p.fC * W i : " TRICK THAT WON LAWSUIT. Ccunsel Made Friend of Man from His His Own State. Scattered over the state of Arkansas are a number of people originally from North Carolina, who, though they never expect to live in their na­ tive state, still love it dearly, and are proud of the nickname of "tar heel." In a certain town lives a former North Carolinian who is a lawyer. One day he had to plead a case in court, the outcome of which was very doubtful. By some means he discov­ ered that one of the jury was from North Carolina, and he felt sure that if he could let that man know, with­ out exciting suspicion, that he was from the same state, it would help him materially. During the recess at noon he bought some chewing gum, and chewed it un­ til it was sticky. As he arose to make his speech after the court convened again he dropped the gum on the floor unnoticed. A little later it was noticed by those near, including the judge, that he was annoyed by something sticking to the heel of one shoe that made a noise every time he moved that foot. Finally he asked the judge to ex­ cuse him while he removed the cause of the trouble, remarking: "I do not know what it can be unless it is tar. You know I'm a 'tar heel.'" He won his case. Comforts of Travel. The porter on the California Lim­ ited this winter will be prepared to press a gentleman's trousers, while he waits. This is a new wrinkle, introduced for the benefit of fastidious dressers. It isn't absolutely rjecessary to carry along an extra pair of trousers, either; the porter works while you sleep. On this luxurious train daily mar­ ket reports are received by wire; there are the latest morning and even­ ing newspapers issued en route, fine stationery, a library of western books and current magazines. A Whitley exerciser for those who wish to keep up their athletics, and electric curling irons for the ladies are other travel comforts. The Santa Fe intends to keep its fast flyer at the front. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--one jtull pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Search is free from all injurious chem­ icals. If your grocer tries to< sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts In Defiance. He knows that . Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let­ ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De­ fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick­ ing. Defiance never sticks. CHESBRO A3 A KIDDER. New York Pitcher in Amusing Posi­ tion After Boston Series. It was in the lobby of the Quincy house, in Boston, on the Saturday evening just after Collins' men won two games from New York. A group of roofers and players were talking it all over, and among them was "Happy Jack Cliesbro," who had just tasted defeat in the first game. A stranger strolled up to the bunch, and with a tired air addressed Happy Jack as follows: "What do you suppose was the mat­ ter with. Chesbro to-day?" "He was pretty rotten to-day, all right," responded the big twirler, never tuning a hair. The gang took it all in, and re* marks about Chesbro being "over­ rated," "outclassed in such company," and being '*11 In" were passed about freely, but the stranger only sighed as he explained that he made the trip from New York and hoped to see the Highlanders win at least one game. Bill Hills then quietly tipped off the New Yorker, whose name was Callow, and he nearly threw a fit when he learned that he had addressed the burning question, "What do you sup­ pose was the matter with Chesbro to­ day?" to the big twirler. He insisted that the drinks were on him. "Never saw the boys in their store Clothes," was his explanation. The Children's Lucky 8tar. A happy conjunction where the pleasure of children is concerned has been the collaboration of Mr. Glen MacDonough and Miss Anna Alice Chapin on "Babes in Toyland" (Fox, Duffleld & Co.) Mr. MacDonough is a son-in-law of Joseph Jefferson, whose Rip Van Winkle for many years delighted young audiences as well as old. Miss Chapin is the author of The Wagner Stories for Children, written when she was herself little more than a child. Ever See One? Did you ever see a one-legged man with his hands in his pockets? Few people have, but down Dearborn street the other morning there walked a man from whose right trouser leg project­ ed what seemed to be a length of lead pipe. By slouching backward, sailor fashion, he had managed to get his hands in his pockets and he stumped along merrily, oblivious of the stares of those he passed.--Chicago Inter Ocean. Post for Gen.

"What would the advertisement writer do without the suffix 'ing'?" asked a man who studies advertise­ ments. "We have long been used to sheetings and pillow casings &nd even coatings and vestings have lost their newness, but now a department store announces that it will sell waistings and blousings.

Small Nancy, aged four, had a doll to which she was devotedly attached. It could open and shut its eyes, and every night Nancy took it to bed with her, carefully closing its eyes before the lijght was turned out. One day the doll, as dolls from time imme­ morial have been known to do, met with an accident which placed the eye- shutting mechanism out of business and left it with not only widely and permanently opened optics, but badly damaged ones as well. At Intervals during the remainder of the day Nancy pleaded to have her dolly "cured," but nothing was successful. At bedtime when she had donned her nightdress and started for her little bed her mother saw she had forgotten her adored doll and reminded her of it, saying: "But, Nannie, you've forgotten your baby; she won't be able to sleep un­ less you take her to bed with you as usual." To her mother's amused astonish­ ment Nancy threw a half-contemptu­ ous look over her shoulder at the doll, recumbent on a chair, and said: "Oh, what's the use! She can't sleep anyway; who ever heard of any­ body sleeping with their eyes wide open?" The English Language. "Would you say a flock of flsh?' asKed a Frenchman. "No; you would say a shoal of fish*!' was the American's reply. "Could you say a flock of oxenf "No; a drove of oxen." "A flock of bees." "No; a swarm of bees." "Really," said the Frenchman, "this is confusing to me." "I don't wonder that it is," the American returned. "For every dif­ ferent crowd there is a different word in our language. Thus we say a covay of partridges, a bevy pf quails, a niile of pheasants, a flight of doves, a wisp of snipe, a muster of peacocks, a brood of grouse, a siege of herons, a build­ ing of rooks, a stand of ployers, a watch of nightingales, a clattering of choughs, a pack of wolves, a cast of hawks, a herd of swine, and so on. In the technical books on sports and hunting you will find that every crowd of birds and of animals has its own special name. These special names well trained sportsmen always use." Do you love the mountains? Do you like to travel the trail that leads to the peaks? Then Stewart Edward White's latest work, "The Mountains" is for you. It is an enthusiastic des­ cription of a trip made by the author through the Sierras. Mr. White is a capital mate and you cannot afford to miss the hours in his company this book offers you. It is also full of help­ ful suggestions In regard to the thou­ sand little details of mountain and forest travel which you must know. (McClure, Phillips & Co:) Scientific Tanning. Tanning is to be put on a strictly scientific basis. Two Germans, Dr. Popp and Heinrich Becker, found that about fifty kinds of bacteria were pres­ ent in the process of turning hides in­ to leather. They isolated them and experimented to see what each of them accomplished. Thus they dis­ covered the kinds which were particu­ larly useful in the making of good leather, and by cultivating and multi­ plying them they achieved useful re­ sults. When Your Grocer 8ays does not have Defiance Starch, yotl may be sure he is afraid to keep it un­ til his stock of 12 oz. packages are •old. Defiance Starch Is not only bet­ ter than any other Cold Water Starch, but contains 16 oz, to the package and tells for same money as 12 oz. brands. At last we have word from our old friend Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese minister to the United States. The empress has allowed him to ?id« horseback in the Forbidden City. Blue Ribbons and Breeding Birds. During the fall and winter a large number of poultry reisers will show birds at poultry shows. The love of prizes-should not lead to the pamper^ ing. of the fowls that are to be ex­ hibited. The birds that are to be placed before the public will be the best ones from the standpoint of of­ ficial excellence, aiid these are the ones that are of most value for breeding purposes. But it is no se­ cret that a good many of these birds are ruined for breeding purpose in a single campaign. It is not an un­ usual thing to have these prize birds sell for a fancy price, and the buyer be sadly disappointed when he comes to look for results. The blue ribbon is the cause of retrogression in the flock of many a breeder. He wins the blue ribbon for his birds and makes a great reputation for himself, which means a great demand for the prod­ uct of his yards, and he is then un­ able to meet that demand on account of the breeding qualities of his best birdts having been deteriorated by overfeeding. - The Rose is picked I | BEFORE THE WALL FLOWER---- Nothing (o surely aUo>p« a wonun--man's ideal--as a (air clear complexion.

The Head of the Flock, The character of the flock tit fftral- try inay be rapidly built up if the head of the flock is every year a vigorous bird of high breeding. An old scrub will not do. Neither does it do to pick out a fine looking bird, if one of the grades. Using grades to head the flock can never improve the aver­ age of the flock. Culling Out. It does not pay to carry culls any longer than it is possible to deter­ mine that they are culls. Prices are better now than they will be later in the fall, and the birds that are not suitable for breeders should be sent to market as soon as they can be prop­ erly fitted. If the breeder is trying to raise the standard of his flock it will pay him to cull closely. Fall Buying. The tlm* to buy hens and roosters for breeding purposes is in the fall, as the price is then lower than at any other time of year. The large num­ ber of birds in the hands of breeders make it easy to secure bargains. When the flocks have all been cut down to half what they are in the fall it will not be so easy to get good birds at a reasonable price. •' In Selling Breeders. lite best way to dispose of breeding birds is to advertise them in the agri­ cultural papers. A good many breed­ ers carry stock for months longer than they need to because they have not learned that money spent in ad­ vertising is well spent. The cost of advertising is largely paid by the sav­ ing in the cost of keeping the birds if they are not sold. 1 ' V - ^ ••*• Good Prices fbr Good Btfdtt. A man can afford to pay a good price for a good bird. A little more vigor than usual is worth money. If a man is intending to build up a flock out of which he hopes to bring prize winners he will find it to his advan­ tage to have an expert score the birds he places at the head of the flock. Got Rid of the Roosters. Very few roosters are needed In a flock. If the eggs the hens lay are not to be used for setting it is un­ necessary to have a male head of the flock. Without him the eggs will keep better. Not many fowls should be kept In one house. Erom 25. to 50 makes a good flock. Unless wanted for setting, cockerels are useless adjuncts of the flock. Quantity of Dairy Products. Some one has suggested that the time is likely to come when the supply of dairy products will be so great that prices will be insignificant. We have nothing to fear on that score. The history of all lands so far is that the longer the dairy business is con­ tinued the better is the demand for dairy products. Take New York as an illustration. When milk was a scarce article there half a century ago five cents per quart was thought to be a good price to pay for it. Now the supply is very large but the demand has more than kept pace with it and the price received is ten cents a quart. Overproduction Is out of the question. Even with the present poor quality of butter, cream and milk it is difficult to supply the demand. What would it be if the quality of all dairy products were good ? The users of them would be so many that the present supply would be entirely inadequate and the price would be much higher than at the present time. Not only is the demand for dairy products increasing among those that use them in a practically fresh state, but ways are all the time being in­ vented of holding them in a state where they can be carried to all parts of the world ,or held in storage for an indefinite period. Tinning is be­ ing tried and preservation in sugar and salt. As the preservative in but­ ter can be washed out easily it offers great opportunitiy for experimentation. It is entirely possible that ways of keeping butter will be devised that will enable the merchant ships of the world to carry it on their voyages and have it always in a fresh state. The work of experimentation that is being done in this line augurs well for the future. It is certain that the Inhabitants of the world from the poles to the tropics will yet be able to eat daily butter made in the tem­ perate zones. It seems unlikely that the „ tropics will ever become noted for the production of milk and its prod-v ucts, as climatic conditions there are not generally favorable to the ex­ istence of dairy animals. In a report the United States De­ partment of Agriculture says that the large southern cities consume per capita only half as much milk as do the northern WOODBURY'S'S A product sacessful (or over 30 years as the exclusive skin coap.--25 <3*. acake.

Barwise, president of the Boys' Welcome Hall association of Brooklyn, is an enthusiastic advocate of temperance. The other day, apro­ pos of hypocrisy in the temperance movement, she said: "I hope there are not many of us to whom the spirit of the temperance pledge means so little as it did to ft certain Scottish woman. "This woman ha£ made a vow not to drink liquor, and a day or two after <the yow she supped at a friend's house. "In those days temperance was not common In Scotland, and at the sup­ per wine was passed about like tea. The new temperance convert looked at the wine longingly. Her hostess said: " 'I'm sorry ye canna drink a glass o' wine wi' us on account o' yer tem­ perance principles.' "The other had just taken on her plate a piece of cake. She said, thoughtfully, extending her plate ^o*~ ward the wine bottle: " 'Aweel, just pour w on my cak' and I'll eat it.'" A Teacher's Testimony. llftfton, Ky., Nov. 2§.--(Special.)-- It has long been claimed that Diabe­ tes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thomp­ son, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more tlan two years and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they did for me was wouderful. It is entirely owing to Dodd's KidnjBjr Pills that I am now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease, and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered. • « Not Always a Good Rule. "My boy," said the old gentleman who was trying to impress one of the lessons of life upon his young hope­ ful, "in all the affairs of life don't for­ get to aim high." "Oh, thait's all right," replied the boy bitterly, "but with my luck the chances are that after the battle I Would find that success had been lying down in the trenches.
