Something must be done to improve the breed of horses. Crown Prince George of Servia will probably be happier as a plain citizen In some democratic country than as king of a troublesome empire. It may seem a little lonely for Cuba to proceed as a hard-working, busi­ nesslike country instead of being an object of international concern. A girl in a New York town, whom a young man of the place jilted, lost her speech too late for the false lover to realize what he had missed in chances for a happy marriage. It appears to be a fact that the so­ cial whirl leads to more nervous pros­ tration, melancholia and even suicide fh an hard work. And in this fact lies fc moral which he who runs may read. Only about 214 miles of frozen wastes I remain to be covered to bring the ex­ plorers to both poles. But every mile can be a fearful distance when men are at the extreme limit of their en­ durance. The new emperor of China, with all the wealth and power of oriental despotism to be his, cries day and night for the nurse from whom he has been taken. Here is an anti-climax of human greatness! The trouble with psychotheraphy in churches, according to the Rev. Dr. Leighton Parte, is that it identifies health with salvation. On the other hand, it might be remarked that the trouble with the churches where psy­ chotherapy is anathema is that they take too little heed of the welfare and happiness of their members this side the grave. Health and salvation^ are not necessarily inconsistent. A man detained in New Tork under sentence of deportation has been promised leniency if he saws his way out of the detention jail, and is now working on the Job. It may be all very well for officials to test thus the stoutness of their bars and the integri­ ty of their employes, which happens to be involved, bttt to the community at large, whose interests are also in­ volved, it seems a queer test to apply to undesirable citizens. Los Angeles is slow in arriving at the conclusion that it endures an un­ just burden in being compelled to care for consumptives who are shipped out there without sufficient means properly to care for themselves. Denver reached this conviction some time ago. Since the fact is becoming known that it Is not climate so much as fresh air and plenty of nourishing food that builds up consumptives the rush of such suf­ ferers to the west and south has re­ ceived a desirable check. * Official figures give a grim picture Of conditions that have prevailed in Russia up to a recent date. The police department of the empire reports that from January 1, 1905, to January 1, 1909, there were 3,319 condemnations to death and 1,435 executions. No doubt there has been a great deal of turbulence and crime in Russia, * but the statement contains more than a hint that in some instances at least the authorities have worked strenuously and mercilessly to punish political of­ fenses. W'i'ji 0 A CONGRESS SECOND NATIONAL PEACE CON- FERENCE !N CHICAGO* • EMINENT MEN ARE PRESENT Statesmen, Diplomats and Political Economists Assemble and Discus* the Final Elimination of Armed Conflicts. fi Diogenes had attended a suit in lltSNew York court lately,. he would have gasped with amazement, fainted with delight and then doused the glim gt his lantern for all time, for that suit developed an honest man, the kind for whom Diogenes looked in vain and who, Shakespeare declared, Was one picked out of 10,000. He was 8 plumber, who testified that after giving an estimate on work he cut down the bill because he found the w^rk less than the estimate called Chicago.--The sessions of the sec­ ond National Peace Congress, which opened in Orchestra hall Monday aft­ ernoon, attracted to Chicago many thousand earnest enemies of war, among them being many distinguished statesmen, 'diplomats and political economists. President' Taft Is the honorary president of the congress, and Secretary of War Jacob M. Dick­ inson is its active president, but neith­ er of these gentlemen was able to be present, owing to their official du­ ties. However, there was no lack pf eminent men to preside, over the ses­ sions. ' As a preliminary to the congress, special peace services were held in many Chicago churches Sunday morn­ ing, peace meetings arranged by labor and socialist organizations were held in the afternoon, and in the evening there was a big mass meeting, at which addresses were delivered by Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and Rev. Emil G. Hirsch. both of ChicagQ, jand President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell university. Welcome to the Congress. Orchestra hall was filled to the limit Monday when the first session was called to order by Robert Treat Paine of Boston, the presiding officer, for governors, mayors and hundreds of clubs had been asked to appoint dele­ gates, and most of them had re­ sponded. President Dickison's ad­ dress, the same he delivered several weeks ago before the Hamilton club, was read, and the congress was then formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S. Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A. Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene Bartlett, chairman of the reception committee. The secretary then read a brief letter from President Taft, in which the chief executive heartily commended the aims of the congress. Miss Anna B. Eckstein of Boston next was introduced to the meeting and read a "World Petition to the Third Hague Conference." This was followed by an address by Dr. Benja­ min P. Trueblood, secretary of the American Peace society, on "The Present Position of the Peace Move­ ment." What Has Been Accomplished. Dr. Trueblood said in part: "Let me sketch in the barest out­ lines what has already been accom­ plished. The interpretation will take care of itself. "I. The men and women, now a great host, who believe that the day is past when blind brute force should direct the policies of nations and pre­ side at the settlement of their dif­ ferences, are now thoroughly organ­ ized. A hundred years ago there was not a society in existence organized to promote appeal to the forum of reason and right in the adjustment of international controversies. To-day there are more than 500, nearly every Important nation having its group of peace organizations. Their constituents are numbered by tens of thousands, from every rank and class In society--philanthropists, men of trade and commerce, educators and jurists, workingmen, statesmen, rulers even. Triumph of Arbitration. "II. The position which the peace movement has reached is no less dis­ tinctly determined by the practical at­ tainments of arbitration. We are this year celebrating what is really the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of our movement, for it was in 1809 that David L. Dodge, a Christian mer­ chant of New York city, wrote the pamphlet which brought the move­ ment into being, and led six years later to the organization in his parlor in New York of the first Peace society m the world. There had then been no arbitrations between nations in our modern sense of the word 'nations.' In the 100 years since 1809 more than 250 important controversies have been settled by this means, not to mention an even greater number of less important cases, the settlement of which Involved the principle of ar­ bitration. Within the past 20 years so rapid has been the triumph of arbi­ tration that more than 100 interna­ tional differences have been disposed of by this means, or between five and six a year for the whole 20 years. Arbitration is no longer an experi­ ment. It is the settled practice of the nations. A score of disputes to-day go naturally to arbitration where one gives rise even to talk of war.

"The first Hague conference gave us the permanent international court of arbitration, to which 24 powers finally became parties by ratification of the convention. This court has now for eight years been in successful opera­ tion, and not less than four contro­ versies have been referred to it dur­ ing the past year. The second Hague conference enlarged and strengthened the convention under which this court was set up, and made the court, the tribunal, not of 25 powers, but of all the nations of the world. \ "The high water mark of the work of the second Hague conference was reached in its action in regard to fu­ ture meetings of the conference. The principle of periodic meetings .of the conference hereafter was approved without a dissenting voice. The date even of the third conference was fixed and the governments urged to appoint at least two years in advance an in­ ternational commission to prepare the program of the meeting." Dean W. P. Rogers of the Cincinnati Law school brought this session to a Close with an eloquent talk on "The Dawn of Universal Peace." Addresses Monday Evening. Monday evening's meeting was de­ voted to "The drawing together of the Nations,^, and was presided over by Dr. Hirsch. The addresses were on "Independence Versus Interdepend­ ence of Nations," by Prof. Paul S. Reinsch of the University of Wiscon­ sin ; "Racial Progress Towards Univer­ sal Peace," by Rev. H. T. Kealing of Nashville, Tenn.; and "The Biology of War," by President David Starr Jor­ dan of Leland Stanford, Jr., univer­ sity. At the same time another meet­ ing was in session in Music hall, with Miss Jane Addams in the ch'alr. The speakers there were Joseph B. Burtt of Chicago, on "Fraternal Orders and Peace;" Prof. Graham Taylor of Chi­ cago Commons, on "Victims of War and Industry;" Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, on "Organized Labor and Peace," and John Spargo of Yonkers, N. Y., on "International Socialism as a Peace Factor." Commercial' and Legal Views. Two big meetings were held Tues­ day morning, one on commerce and industry, presided over by George E. Roberts, president of the Commercial National bank of Chicago, and the other on "Women and Peace," with Mrs. Ellen-M. Henrotin of Chicago as chairman. The former session was ad­ dressed by Belton Gilreath of Birming­ ham, Ala., W. A. Mahoney of Colum­ bus, O., James Arbuckle, consul of Spain and Colombia, St Louis, and Marcus M. Marks, president of the Na­ tional Association of Clothiers, New York city. The women heard interest­ ing speeches by Mrs. Philip N. Moore, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs; Miss Jane Addams and Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston. "Some Legal Aspects of the Peace Movement," was the general topic of the Orchestra hall meeting Tuesday afternoon, and the chairman was Will­ iam J. Calhoun of Chicago. Prof. Will- lam I. Hull of Swarthmore college, dis­ cussed the advances registered by the two Hague conferences, and James Brown Scott, solicitor of the Btate de­ partment, talked about some questions which the third Hague conference probably will consider. "Legal Prob­ lems Capable of Settlement by Arbi­ tration," was the subject of a learned paper by Prof. Charles Cheney Hyde of Chicago. 8pecial Collegiate Session. In Mandel hall, at the University of Chicago, a special session was held for universities and colleges, a fea­ ture of which was an oratorical con­ test participated in by students. Louis P. Lochner of Madison, Wis., spoke on "The Cosmopolitan Clubi." The general session of Tuesday evening was perhaps the most inter­ esting of the congress. "Next Steps in Peacemaking" was the topic. The audi­ ence was aroused to great enthusiasm by an eloquent and spirted address by Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, president of the American Group, Interparliamentary union. An­ other paper that met with deserved applause was that of Edwin D. Mead of Boston on "The Arrest in Compet­ itive Arming in Fidelity to The Hague Movement." The special collegiate session was continued Tuesday evening in Music hall, with President Nollen of Lake Forest university in the chair. Presi­ dent S. P. Brooks of Baylor university, Texas, spoke, and a stereopticon lec­ ture on the "Federation of the World" was given by Hamilton Holt of the Independent Among the diplomats who came to Chicago to attend the Peace congress were: Ambassador Count Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff of Germany; Herman de Lagercrantz, envoy from Sweden; Wu Ting Fang, envoy from China; Alfred Mitchell Innes, coun selor of the British embassy, and Dr. Halvdan Kont, of the University of Norway. The Japanese, Turkish and French embassies also were repre­ sented. eCNERAktY iEUtVED THAT MB. DUt. HAMID WILL SUFF&ft; ' PENALTY OF DEATH. AMERICANS REPORTED SAFE Messages Received at Washington Say Conditions Are Improving--New Turkish Ruler Drives Through ; Streets to Church. " ; London,--A local news agency Fri­ day published a dispatch from Saloniki, European Turkey, saying it has been officially announced there that Abdul Hamid, the deposed sul­ tan of Turkey, is to be tried before a constitutional court-martial and that it is generally believed that sentence of death will be passed on him. Believe Danger Is Over. Washington.--Increasing confidence obtains in the state department re­ garding the situation in provincial Turkey and the hope is expressed that conditions will continue to improve. This feeling is based largely on the dispatches which reached the depart­ ment from the American embassy at Constantinople Friday. A vigilant watch will be kept on developments throughout Turkey to the end that American lives and property shall be safeguarded, supplementing its repre­ sentations to the Porte by the pres­ ence of war vessels that are scheduled soon to reach Asia Minor. Considerable interest was manl- wested both at the state department and In the diplomatic corps over the probability of a trial of Abdill Hamid by court-martial. The view seemed to prevail that it was unlikely that Abdul would be sentenced to death In view of the moderate manner in which he and his household had been treated by the Young Turks. Mehmed Prays, Clad in Khaki. Constantinope, Turkey.--Mehmed V,, the new sultan of Turkey, clad in a khaki unifoVm and accompanied by a suite of a half dozen officials of his household, drove through Constanti­ nople and from the mosque to St Sophia Friday, where the new sov­ ereign prayed for nearly an hour. The simplicity of this Selamlik was in strong contrast to the pomp with which Abdul Hamid was wont to go and say his prayers and is taken as an evidence of the democratic tenden­ cies of the new ruler. His majesty en­ tered St Sophia through the sultan's door. This; entrance has not been opened in 26 years. The moment the sultan stepped out of his carriage onto the red carpet leading into the build­ ing a priest in a black robe cut the throats of two rams, and the sacri­ ficial blood flowed almost to the feet of the new ruler. Mehmed V. prayed within the mosque for nearly an hour, while the Sheik-ul-Islam and a large number of priests chanted the services. American Missionaries Safe. A welcome message was received Thursday from the town of Hadjin, in the province of Adana, where five American women missionaries have been alone with thousands of .refugees who sought safety there from bands of Moslems seeking to put them to the sword. Hadjin has withstood a siege for the last eight days and the missionaries have been sending out frantic appeals for help. The message came from Miss Rose Lambert, daughter of Bish­ op Lambert, timed 10:22 a. m., which said: "With the arrival of the troops the disorders in and about the city, have ceased and we are all safe and well." The Turkish cabinet has taken up the consideration of the situation in Adana and neighboring districts. The new governor general, Mustafa Zihini, is due to arrive at the town of Adana Friday. He has been instructed to take the most energetic measures to re-establish order and to relievf ttye sufferers. V Abdul Taken to 8alonlkl. Abdul Hamid, with four wives, five daughters and two of his younger sons, two eunuchs and a comparative­ ly large number of female servants, was taken from the Yildiz palace un­ der an escort to Saloniki Wednesday. The Constitutionalists have lost no time in bringing the conspirators in the recent rising to trial. The mili­ tary court, sitting in the war office, Thursday condemned about 250 pris­ oners to death and they were exe­ cuted. ' Nadir Pasha, the second eunuch of the palace under the regime of Abdul Hamid, was hanged at dawn Thursday on the Galata bridge, the great thor­ oughfare that connected Stamboul with the quarters of Galata and Pera. The body was allowed to swing until eight o'clock in the morning, and thou­ sands of the people stopped to look at the great Nubian whose name was a terror under Abdul Hamid. Nadir was executed after a trial by court-martial on the charge that he instigated the mutiny of the troops on April 13.

From beneath the overburden of earth and rubbish which has been ac­ cumulating for ages, Prof. Flinders Petrie, In his first year of work of excavating the ruins of Memphis, has laid bare many of the secrets of that great city of ancient glory, which un­ til his explorations began had been more completely hidden than those of any other city of the distant past. The focus of the city was the great temple of Ptah, or Hephestos, and the sacred grove, or Ternenos, which In­ closed it. The massive wall which surrounded the temple was traced piece by piece, although but a single corner was above ground, all the rest being buried to a great depth by debris of e'very description. Evidences of the pillaging hand of Rameses were visible everywhere. Some of the sculpture rev ealed was Of great delicacy. Throughout the temple areas were found about 100 little tablets dedicated by private per­ sons, many of them going back to great antiquity and proving to be of much interest, as clearing up doubt­ ful points in archaeology. Many lit­ tle terra cotta grotesques were «!•» found, which are not so much por­ traits as types. It is calculated that the exposure of the whole surface of Memphis, and then its excavation at lower levels, will be the work of 40 years more. Descendant of the Bourbons. A descendant of the Bourbons in the person of Countess Montarsolo dl Carignaniu is now lining In New York. She was born a princess of La Tour d'Auvergne, but was married when little more than a child to a count of the royal house of Savoy. Her great­ grandfather was the Duke de Bouillon, who, with his wife, waB beheaded dur­ ing the reign of Robespierre. Her grandmother was a girl of 12 at the time, and was ordered to stand under the scaffold that the blood might drip on her head.

In Marquette, Mich.--The feari that the furious gale on Lake Superior would be productive of disaster came to a tragic realization Saturday when the barge George Nester struck a reef off the Huron islands, northwest of here, and was lost with all hands. There were seven men on board. Their names are not known here. In tow of the Schoolcraft, the vessel was bound for Baraga to load the steamer in the terrific storm and shortly after noon was driven onto the rocks.
