Wommn'n Flattery Not Appreciated by '•*'\ Gifted Professor. Barrett Wendell, professor of Eng^ ]fth at Harvard, cannot endure ful some praise of any sort or in any dis guise. This is well known to Cam* bridge undergraduates, and seldom do any of them offend. At summer schools, where he is in great demand M a lecturer, he does cot escape so •asily. A year or so ago he gave a course In Bdglieh literature at the University of California. At the first meeting of tke class he asked the members to state in writing the benefits they ex- pected to gain from the course. Many filled their papers with laudatory ref erence to Prof. Wendell, but one young woman far surpassed all others. "I have long worshiped you from afar off," she began, "and now come to sit at your feet and sip inspiration from your gifted lips." Prof. Wendell read the paper at the Btxt meeting of the class with this CSc tic comment: "I have never known of a woman soaking such a fool of herself on s Angle page before." 8AVED CHILD 8 LIFE. Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Sedgwick, Ark., July 11.--The case of W. 8. Taylor's little son ii looked upon by those interested in medical matters as one of the most wonderful on record. In this connection his tether makes the following statement: "Last September, my little boy had Dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen to such an extent that he could not walk nor put his shoes on. The treatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good and two or tnree people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country told me he would not get better. I stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney fills. I gave him three Pills a day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine Justice. I gsve him eleven more Pills. I used thirty-five Pills in all and he was f~<- tlrely cured. I consider your medicine saved my child's life. When the thlr- ty-flve Pills were given him, he could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an Invalid in his mother's arms fnsic morning until night." Dusky Admirer of Chamberlain. K. B.

Temporary Chairman Williams pre sented Mr. Clark as permanent chair man. and as Mr. Clark bowed ia ac knowledgment he was heartily wel- oomed. His speech follows: "In his haste, King David said that all men are liars. Had he been in Chicago while Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was reading the Republican platform he would, no doubt, have pronounced the same opinion more leisurely, for surely there never was more mendacity packed into the same space in any document purporting to be a grave state paper. "Shakespeare says-: "Thrice is he armed that hath hia quar rel Just, And he but naked, though locked up in steel, Whose conscience with Injustice Is cor rupted." *'In the Impending conflict our quar rel is Just and we are in the right be yond all cavil. "To state it in a general way, our contentiou^i8 that the government shall be Restored to the Demo cratic-Republican basia on which the fathers of the republic intended it to rest and shall be made once njpre a government of the people, by the peo ple, and for the people, instead of a government of the classes, by the classes, and for the classes. ,, "To state it with more particularity, we insist that exorbitant taxation shall be reduced to Just and reason able rates; that extravagance in ap propriations shall cease; that econ omy shall prevail in all the transac tions of the government; that all the departments shall be thoroughly in vestigated from top to bottom by con gressional committees; that all evil doers, whatever degree, shall be driven irom the public service and properly punished; that the trusts •hall be proceeded against by indict ment si are common and smaller criminals; that the constitution ac companies the American flag into our new possessions. "Tale Told by an Idiot." "The proposition that we must rap port President Rooseyelt's Philippine policy--if he has any--right or wrong, is the veriest tot--a talo told by an idiot. I am willing to go as far as any one in' patriotism; I will support my country in any emergency; but President Roosevelt la not the coun try. "The time has not yet arrived--I pray almighty God that it will never arrive--when the American people will accept the arrogant dictum of Louis XIV. if repeated by an American President, 'I am the state.' "Support the President's policy, eh? Will some gentleman please tell us what that policy is? Has he any? If so, why doesn't he say so? "The truth is he has none. He is an opportunist waiting for something to turn up. He is letting things drift and they are drifting to the deuce. Meantime our soldiers are being kill ed and are dying of disease in shoals. For what purpose? Defiance to the Jingoes. "Will anybody undertake to say? I d.fy any jingo to stand up and declare with a straight face what the Presi dent's policy or the Republican policy Is. No one will say; no one can say; but some say--more's the pity and shame--'the President is wrong, but w< .»ust support the President.' "To this complexion has it come at last by reason of the newfangled jingo ism, that we must shut up our think ers, close our mouths, and chloroform our consciences in order to be consid- t red patriots. "No man ever found himself in worse political company than does President Roosevelt in this year of grace. He is in the hands of the Re publican Philistines a&d they will bind him with their withes. In every state in the union it is a felony to get prop erty of any sort--or to attempt to get It--by false pretenses. "If the same rule applied to the get ting of offices or to attempts to get them the whole Republican party coulf be sent to the penitentiary." Republican False Pretenses. Mr. Clark then entered upon a dis cussion of what he termed the false pretenses of the Ilcpublican platform. He denied the Republican pretense that the Democrats favor free trade. He asserted that the Democrats fa vored reductions in the existing tariff rates, but not free trade. He contin ued: "The true Democratic position on the tariff this: Recognizing the fact tnat a larg%* portion of our revenue has always been raised from customs duties or taxes/ Democrats divide all imports Into three classes--necessar ies, comforts, and luxuries--and con tend that the tariff taxes should be highest on luxuries, lower on com forts, and lowest or none at afll on the necessaries. They furthermore say Longworth's Speech Realistic. Congressman Nick Longworth of Ohio, the amateur golf champion of Hamilton county, made his maiden speech lately. Fred Ireland, one of the official stenographers and himself a golfiac, reported his speech. He be gan his notes as follows: "Representative Longworth teed up. his first oratorical tall to-day and made a pretty drive for 180 yards. He got In trouble in the long grass with his metaphorical iron on the second shot, but came out nicely with a po etical approach and holed down in five with a peroration that gave him bogey."--Denver Times. Memories of Moving Day. Dlogeres curled up in hia tub on April 30. "The honest man ga^-ls all right," he chuckled. "Just think of all the poor fellows that will be breaking their backa to-morrow moving furni ture and putting down carpets!" ftently whistling the refrain of that classic song, "Any Old Mace I Hang My Hat Is Home, Sweet Honte, for Me," he fell Into a sweet sleep. that tales Should be uniform on' all articles belonging to one class. "That is the Democratic party's po sition, frotafc which it will not be driven or coaxed or bullied. No amount of misrepresentation will cause them to budge from that posi tion." 4 Attacks Philander C. Knox. The chairman then devoted his at tention to former Attorney-General Philander C. Knox. He declared that Mr. Knox had been made attorney- general through the influence of the trusts and was afterward transferred to the United States senate as a re ward for his protection of the trusts. On this subject he said, in part: "People will open their eyes in as tonishment and begin to inquire as to the why and wherefore of his ap pointment when they learn that the transfer of Mr. Knox from the Attor ney Generalship to the Senate was procured by the earnest and success ful efforts of Mr. Frick, Mr. Cassatt, and Mr. Donald Cameron to induce United States Senator Boise Penrose, the new Republican boss of Pennsyl vania, to permit Mr. Knox to be Sen ator--for Gov. Pennypacker, who nom inally made the appointment, does not appear to have been considered at all In the premises. "The amazement of the people will grow like Jonah's gourd vine when they learn that Mr. Frick is the heav- lest stockholder in the steel trust; that Mr. Cassatt is president of the Pennsylvania railroad company, which Is one of the defendants in the coal trust suit now pending, and that Mr. Cameron represented the Standard Oil trust and Wall street interests in per suading Boss Penrose to let Mr. Knox go to the Senate. "Here we have th^ strange spec tacle--the mystifying' anomaly--of the land securing the appointment to the Senate of Attorney General Phi lander C. Knox, who has been exploit ed far and wide as the greatest trust buster on terra flrma. Roosevelt snd Wall 8treet. "Folks who still dare to think will be forced to one of two conclusions: First, either that Mr. Knox ia the only lawyer in America capable of con ducting a suit against a trust--which is absolutely preposterous--or that the Knox anti-trust crusade has been a bunko game from the becinning." Chairman Clark then paid his re spects to President Roosevelt and Wall street, saying: "Here is another straw: It has been told in Gath and proclaimed on the streets of Askalos by the Roose velt shouters for, lo! these many months that the trust magnates, es pecially those whose habitat lair is Wall street, are bitterly opposed to the President. "A change appears to have come o'er the spirit of their dream, if Fran- cis B. Loomis, assistant secretary of state, can be believed. That illus trious public functionary recently 'swung around the circle' in New York and elsewhere to 'survey the situa tion.' Upon his return to Washington he delivered himself of an interview, in which inter alia he says: " 'While in New York I spent t*ro days in Wall etreet, chatting with many representatives of the financial Interests, and I find that there is no longer any disposition to make a fight. And, in accepting the situation, the feeling toward Mr. Roosevelt seems to have undergone a change, and I heard many friendly comments. I confess I was surprised at the ex tent of this change.'" Plain People Bewildered. Concluding his address, Chairman Clark said: "Has the president changed his views, or have the trust magnates changed theirs? , "Plain people cannot be blamed for being bewildered by all this kaleido scopic performance. "They cannot be censured because by an old process they figure it out that two and two make four, and that the transfer of Mr. Knox from Cab inet to Senate at the behest of Messrs. Frick, Cassatt and Comeron, taken li^ connection with the change of feeling in Wall street in favor of the Presi dent. has a sinister meaning. "The trust magnates who secured the senatorial toga for Mr. Knox, since they have established the en tente cordiale with that famous trust buster, ought to compel the young ruffianly scions of exeat trust hcuses who some time ago insulted and as saulted Mr. Knox in a public restaur ant to go down on their knees and make to him the amende honorable. Then all will be lovely--away with the trusts and the trust buster." CARS FR0M1RAGK Coaches Hurled Over An Em bankment Into the Ditch Alongside. ENGINEMAN WATCHES STORM Man at Throttle Endeavora to Escape Cyclone by Stopping, but la Forced to Race With Clouda, Which Over- take Him. Petersburg, HI., special: An accom modation passenger train on the Chi cago, Peoria and 8t. Louis railroad was blown from the track at Oakford, 111., twelve miles north of Petersburg, early Tuesday evening, and one man killed and a number injured. Thoma8 Wiley, aged 62, Springfield, 111., la dead. The seriously injured Include George Coleman, conductor, Springfield; back hurt; Henry R.

The train consisted of two coaches, a baggage car, and the engine and all but the engine were hurled from the truck down a seven foot embank ment, turning over twice in the de scent, and landing in a splintered mass of debris. The accident happened just a few rods from the bridge over the Sanga mon river. The work of relief began immediately," as owing to the remark able eseapc of nearly all the few pas sengers aboard, those who were in jured and pinioned in the debris were speedily rescued and at once given at tention. Watchea Storm Gather. The engineer, who escaped injury, said he watched the gathering storm closely as his train sped along, as he feared from the appearance of the clouds that a tornado might result. As the train approached Oakford the clouds suddenly seemed to concentrate and drop, apparently coming directly towards the train, 4 Realizing that the train would en counter the tornado if it proceeded the engineer came to a halt. The ap proaching tornado, when about a mile away, suddenly swerved and the train was directly in its path. Train Attracta Tornado. Then the engineer endeavored to run beyond the zone of danger and again the tornado swerved and headed directly for the flying train. The roar was heard plainly above the rattle of the cars. Steam was crowded on and like a rocket the light accommodation, jumping and pounding on the rails, rushed ahead in an endeavor to cross before the storm. Suddenly with a crash that was heard above the rumble and roar, of the tornado, the train was struck broadside, the coaches torn from the engine and lifted into the air and hurled from the embankment into the ditch. The engine alone remained up on the rails. The storm was described by Brake- man Mendonsa as a funnel shaped cloud, accompanied by darkness and a tremendous rain. "As soon as the train stopped," he said, "I felt the car going over, and I grabbed a seat and held to it. Men, women, and a number of babies were being tossed about in the car as it rolled down the emhankment." Cars Take Fire. The engine was hurried on to Pe tersburg, where a relief train was speedily made up, and, bearing physi cians, hurried back to the scene. The wrecked cars took fire, but the flames were extinguished before any head way had been made. As soon as pos sible the injured were placed aboard the relief train and taken to Spring field aii'1 Havana. General Manager W. H. Gridley, suffered a broken arm. remained^on the spot and directed the relief work, as did Conductor Coleman of Spring field, who was cut about the head and face. Secrets of Old Roman Bath. Women used to lose their hairpina a thousand year* ago much in the same way as they do to-day. That, at least, is the impression one gets from the antiquities found during last year at the Silchester excavations. The most interesting discovery was the building which formed apparently the principal baths' of the Roman town. The exploration of the baths yielded a number'of architectural fragments, including a small altar, portions of capitals and bases, part of a large basin of purbeck marble, and some singular pieces of metal. In a filled-up hypocaust were found at least 100 bone pins, which had evi dently been used to adjust the back hair of Roman women who used the baths. Probably they had been dropped in the way woman throughout the ages has shed pins, and were collect ed by the keeper of the baths. Some of them are quite three inches long and would make passable hatpins for the present fashion. A pair of gold earrings with uncut green gems^are so bright that they look as if they might have just come out of a Jeweller's shop in Bond street. --London Cl route1". Occupation for Japanese Blind.
