were issued and score of cats, attended
by their owners, accepted the hospitalities
of the Osgood mansion. The cats had a
fine time and the ladies present all united
in saying that they behaved themselves
in hecomng manner.

more than the foreign article and is
well worth the difference.

For afternoon and morning weddings
the gray coat with gray satin lapel lin

In many of the whipcord and brown

one of enhancing permissibiity, and
e-double-breasted effect is always in
better chime with the cold season of the

SOCIALISM RAMPANT.
Extremists Withdraw at Erfurt-
BebePs Prophecy.

BebePs Prophecy.
ERFURT, Oct. 19.-At this days ses-
sions of the Socialist congress, Herr
Auerbaeh made violent speech in de
Tense of anarchy. This speech, full of
the most bitter denunciations of the ex-
listing systems of government and So
ciety, caused such an uprOar and so
much protest upon the part of the sober
minded portion of the delegates that the
congress was upon the point of electing
a committee to consider the expulsion
of the members who supported the
anarchistic views of the speaker when
Herr Auerbach, who had taken his
seat during the tumult, again arose, and,
amid scene OF uproarlouS disorder, an
nOunced the secession from the socialist
party of himself and of IIerren Werner,
Wildberger, Schulz and Brethge. The
five then withdrew from the hall.
BERLIN, Oct. 19.-The utterance of
the socialist leader Bebel, yet another
twenty years and we will be masters of
Germany" is severely commented on in
official circles, and there is some pros
pect of BebePs prosecution for laes
majestaS by putting forced treasona-
bic construction on his words. The tri-
umph of the moderate element in the
congress is not pleasing to the enemies
of socialism, who would much prefer
that the extremists had carried the day
and alienated people by their extrava-
CANT revolution. The extraordinary
growth Of the socialist vote from 101, 1927
in 1879 to 1,34l.5S7 III 1890 is quoted as
showing that there is something more
than brag in Bebel'S prophecy, and that
the time may not be distant when the
state. as now constituted, may be en-
gagged in a life struggle with socialism.

THE GERMAN TREATY.

Some unnamed cabinet minister, pre-
sumably the pleasant optimist of the
agricultural bureau, makes the proposed
treaty with Germany that is alleged to
provide All easier way for American
wheat and flour into the land of Will
HELM the basis of a new policy by the
administration. This is to look after
favorable terms for agricultural prod
ucts in the regions where there are con-
sumers enough to make it much of an
object. Great stress is laid upon the
treaty alleged 10 be in process of forma-
ton with Germany as the prelude.
This is given out in a vague and
uncertain way, the only certain
fact beng that it is not completed, and
not likely to be for some months. The
earlier statements that by it American
cereals were to De admitted free have
been disSipated. 1t is denied also that
any special concessions are to be given
American agricultural products. All
there is i'll it from the statements ac-
cepted is that in the revision of its COM
mercial treaties Germany proposes to
put the United States on the footing of
''the most favored nations" 1t will be
allowed equal advantages with other
nations that have agricultural products
to sell. No occasion for any high ell
thuSiaSm appears in this.

IN 4 CENTURY.

The data produced at the Methodist
gathering at Washington representing
that denomination in all parts of the
world. afford a surprising exhibit. The
history of religious schools hardly pre-
sents parallel anywhere to the growth
of Methodism in English-speaking
countries. 1t has been almost entirely
the product Of the past century. 1t
barely got fair start and had but a
few thousand members in the eighteenth
century. Now it claims about five mill
lon. 1t has $4,000 ministers to but
hundred or two hundred years
ago. Its church edifiees now num-
Der 5000, and it has pushed
its missionary lines to the most adj
VaDced point. From q secular view its
phenomenal development has been due
mainly to the facts that it was an out
growth of the life of the common people
and peculiarly in touch with the hum
bier life, and has been an aggressive
missionary organization. Seme of the
leaders have feared that its adoption of
the quieter and more pacific life of pros
perlty and power will weaken its pro-
gressive potency. Be that as it NAV, it
is certainly one of the most notable of
the material facts of modern Christian
lty and power in the world.

ure of Harrison Loring 4 Co., ship
builders at Boston, who have contracts
for the construction of ArmOred CruiS-
er No. II at S764, 200, with premiums
for speed, and three steel tug boats
at S23.500 each, but as yet has
not determined its course i'll the
matter. The cruiser Is about half
finished, and the tugs are about four
tifths finished. 1t is said at the de-
partment that the government is amply
protected by the contract, which is more
than sufficient to secure the completion
of the vessels The only question to be
determined is as to whether this shall
be done by the government or by the
assigneeS. The latter course is the most
probable one.

decided 10 settle the contest by duel to
the death. They chose small room in
an old unoccupied hut in the Mexican
quarter for the scene of the com
bat. They went there alone at mid
night Saturday night, and stripping
to the skin, began the battle, each using
long stiletto, They had been fighting
for some time when the attention OF
policeman was attracted to the place by
the noise. He forced an entrance and
found both men in terrible condition.
They were each covered with blood,
which was flowing from many cuts.
They were separated, and both taken to
the hospital. They will probably both

partment is defined by the Rio Grande,
is one. he says. that requires constant
attention, and continues: To know just
how far this is the duty of the United
States, or where exactly the state
of Texas comes in is not always very
plain. We find that the very presence
of troops serves as q restraining III
fiuence. | recommend that the posts on
the Rio Grande be kept up to an
efficient standard. not less than one
company of infantry and one troop OF
cavalry at each post. The condition of
the troops in this department is good
and efficient, matter worth mention,
as during the long summers of South
western Texas it requires extra energy
to keep troops up to the mark. The
number of assertions in the last half
of the fiscal year is only about one-half
as great as the number in the first six
months. Gen. Stanley also recommends
the purchase of old Fort Douglass.
