schools. The Government controls the
postaltelegraph service. Considerable at
tention is given to musical instruction, and
federal singing societies abound. All
Swiss are equal before the law,
and the former relation of subjects, as
well as all privileges of place or birth
are abolished. Civil marriage is compulsory
and subsequent religious ceremony is op-
tional. The cantons have the right to
maintain peace and order between different
religious communities, and to prevent en-
croachments of ecclesiastical authorities
upon the rights of the citizens. No new
bishoprics can be created without the ap-
proval of the Federal Government.
The legislative power Is vested in the
Federal Assembly, which consists of Ma

National Council consists of deputies of the
people in the ratio of one for about every
10000 persons The executive power is ex-
ercised by a Federal Council of seven men,
bers, elected by joint session of the Ma
tional Council and Council of States to serve
for three years. These divide themselves
and each takes charge ofa State department.
The finances of Switzerland are in good
condition. The military establishment is
based upon purely democratic principles.
The fundamental laws of the Government,
permit of no standing army. Every able
bodied citizen is actually defender Of the
the Republic.

Tho Experimenters Hope to Turn Out
Rain Monday or Tuesday.
MIDLAND, Tex, Aug 15.-The rain
makers are busy with preparations, and
propose Monday or Tuesday as the time for
the decisive experiment. Professors Meyer
and Custallar, balloonists, and Professor
Resell, chemist, are manipulating the e1-
plosives, but SO much remains to be done
that the opinion prevails that there will be
no rain produced before Thursday next
The rain of Tuesday last is thought not to
have been caused by the explosion. The
rain makers are, however, hopeful of sue
cess in the final test. About 80 balloons,
inflated with explosive gas. as many kites
with dynamite tails, and on terra frma
mortars of rind rock, will be discharged,
not simultaneously, but in rapid succession,
while scientific observations will be taken
by balloon1sts in mid-air and General
Dyrenforth and staff on earth, connected by
telephone. The programme is elaborate
and the material abundant, and the science
involved exhaustive. Success means the
regeneration Of this country.

Independent Packers of Chicago Strike Out
for Themselves.
-, CHICAGO, Aug. LA morning paper
says that Samuel w. Allerton, the head of
the company representing ID of the large
packers doing business at the stock yards,
has just completed the purchase Of what is
known as the stickney tract lying just west
of the city limits and between Fifty-ffth
and Seventy-ninth streets The tract con-
sists of 900 acres. By the belt line con-
nection is given with every railroad enter
ing the city. This action was taken because
the "Big Three"-Messrs. Armour, Swift
and Morris-by threatening to go to Tolles-
ton, forced the Stock Yards Company into
concessions which it has since refused to
grant to the other packers Allerton says
work will be begun at once, and that half of
the business done at the stock yards will be
removed to the new location within six
months.
Mr. P. D. Armour said in an interview
this afternoon that he hoped the syndicate
of small packers would go to Stickney; that
the "Big Three" holds great deal of stock
in the Stickney syndicate: and that such a
move would greatly enhance the value of
their shares.

SchtUlz as II Was,

1871 any such agreement, if it existed at all,
existed only verbally. This interesting
document in writing virtually constitutes
the first authenticated evidence of the found
ing of the Swiss Republic. To this instru-
ment were affixed the seals of the three
countries as guarantee of its genuineness.
Schwyz was probably the most enterpris-
ing of the three, and the best organized
politically. and when they swore to rise and
free themselves from the Aurtrian yoke
Schwyz became the theater of war. Out
siders first heard of the confederates as
Swltzers, and after the glorious success of
Morgarten the other cantons were willing
enough to take her name for their young
league.
The latter part of the reign of Rudolf III,
of Hapsburg, Austria, over the rough
Alpine cantons was anything but peace
ful one. There were numerous petty insur-
rections and when Rudolf died in 1921 and
the good news reached the forest cantons
the hopes there entertained of liberty and
a recovery of ancient rights broke forth.
The people were weary, however. They
may not have been familiar with the old
fable OF the bundle Of sticks, but they real
lied that in union there was strength. At
any rate within few weeks after Rudolf's
death the districts of Uri. Schwyz and Un-
terwalden entered into their perpetual cove
nant for mutual protection.
The acts of agreement were all drawn up
In Latin and the document itself is safely
preserved to this day in the archives of the
canton of SchwyA Naturally it is looked
upon with feelings of the deepest regard
and veneration by the entire Swiss people.
With it are preserved a number Of other
papers, supplementary and of similar
character. Its authenticity is well attested
and is practically unuuestioned

MANY SWISS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
AS the time for this patriotic celebration,
in which all Americans and lovers of lib

esting to know that many of the most prom
inent people who have helped to make the
history of Allegheny county were of Swiss
descent.
Colonel Boquet, who figured prominently
in the French and Indian War at Fort
Duquesne; David Ritchie. who was the first
Associate Law Judge here under the act of
April IL, 1862, and who served three terms
in Congress; General James S. Negley,
whose war record is well known; the Voegt-
lys, Steiners, Schoenbergers, Faendrichs,
and many others were direct descendants OF
the Swiss race.
Not few Swiss people have been identi-
fed closely with American politics and
events Albert Gallatin, who was born in
Geneva in 1851, came to America in 1850.
He participated in the War of 1872, and
was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by
President Jefferson. He was afterward

TRIBUTE TO LOWELL.
ARCHDEACoN FARRAR's EULoGY OF
THE AMERICAN POET.

Minister Lincoln, Mrs Harrison, Mrs. Nc
Kee and Others sPresent-EnglandN Never
So Touched Since the Death OF Garfield
Bust for Westminster Abbey.
rBr CABLE TO THE pIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Aug b.-The death Of James
Russell Lowell has created a profound SEN
sation in England, and for the last three
days the newspapers have been teeming
with personal anecdotes and interviews
with friends of the great American. En-
glishmen say that not since the tragic end
of Garfield have the English people been
go painfully moved by the death
is on foot headed by the vener-
BILE Canon Farrar to place bust of Lowell
in the poets corner of Westminster Abbey,
and this will doubtless be effected shortly.
1t is very unfortunate that owing to some
body's blunder the memorial service in
Westminster Abbey, which took place this
afternoon, was advertised in the newspapers
for tomorrow afternoon, so that only a
small congregation was present to hear the
Archdeacon's eulogy of the dead poet. The
Americans present included Minister Lin
coin and Mrs Lincoln, Secretary of Lega-
ton Henry White and Mrs. Mckee and
Mrs Russell Harrison.
Archdeacon Farrar's address was brief,
but he delivered it with much feeling. It
was but fitting, he said, that Englishmen as
well Americans should gather to pay last
tribute of respect and gratitude to the great
and famous poet who had just been called to
eternal rest Lowell was one of the first
American poets of his generation but he
was more than poet and had many claims
upon the memory of the English and Amer
leans.
He was a scholar and student of the
first rank. He was a critic whom Oliver
Wendell Holmes described as of caustic
perception. His satire was of nature that
was akin to charity, but though his shafts
struck home they were never poisoned.
Again, he was a finished orator, and in
either land his rich eloquence was unsur-
passed. He was one of the sacred ties that
bound England and America more closely.
The same blood ran in his veins as in those
of Englishmen, both spoke the tongue of
Shakespeare and both held faith in the
morals of Milton. Lowell was one of those
true Americans to whom $4,000 American
slaves owed their freedom and 20, 900, 900 of
his fellow countrymen their awakened con-
sciences. England's universities had be-
slowed upon him their proudest honors,
and now at the age of 70 he had passed
away loved and revered by the two might
lest nations on earth.

Bessie supported Vaudeville for several

A NEW OCEAN FLYER.
A CUNARDER CONTRACTED FOR TO
BEAT THE MAJESTIC.

A Line of Steamers Between Glasgow and
the United States Projected-They Are
Intended to Capture the Cattle Trade
From Other Lines.
rBY CABLE TO TIE pIsPAroH.l
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Engineering, the lead
ing journal of its kind in England, says
this week that it has good authority for
stating that Sir John Burns and his CO.
directors of the Cunard Company have
made contract with the Fairfield Com
pany for a steamer which will win back
to their line the blue ribbon of the Atlantic,
SO lately captured by the Majestic The
that she would still be longer than the
White Star vessels. Her tonnage will
be over 4, 900 tons. The Cunard Compan y
have gone with the times in adopting twin
screws for propulsion.
The speed Of the new vessel is to be %
knots, and 81 knots at sea, so that there is
every prospect of the voyage being reduced
to 81 DAYS within few years. The build
ing of the vessel is to be proceeded with at
once and she is to have several preliminary
runs before the Chicago exhibition traffic
begins.
People who cross the Atlantic will be in
terested to learn that Liverpool intends
spending $4,000 more in attempting to do
away with that nuisance, the Liverpool bar
They have already spent e10, 900 buying
two, powerful dredgers and carrying
away 100000 tons of sand. The depth
of water at low tide had been
increased from II to 16 feet, and it is con-
ceivable that in year or so more the
voyage to Liverpool may be completed at
any hour of the tide without having re-
course to the dirty tugs.
Your correspondent in Glasgow tele-
graphs that there is project on foot for a
new steamship company to run bi-weekly
steamers to Canadian and United States
ports. The new steamers are to be very
fast, the idea of the promoters of the COM
pany being to secure the cattle trade and
general freight traffic by giving that class of
business special attention.

"Not an unfavorable reply has been re-

the only unfavorable reply received was
from one man in Freeborn county, whose
name I do not recall, and he expressed
merely an individual opinion. My opinion
is that the farmers will allow their grain to
remain in the stack and go on with their
fall work, plowing, etc., and do the thresh-
ing afterward. This of itself will result in
large percentage of the crop being held

SOME PROMINENT scHwEIrzERs.

Arnold Guyot, o professor in the Smith
sonian Institution, and the founder of me-
teorological stations, was born in Switzer-
land in 1907. Adalrich Steinach, historian
and naturalist, came to this country from
the Alpine country in 1856. He enlisted in
the late war as volunteer and afterward
became prominent as historian. Emil
Fry, who was Major in the Union army,
returned to Switzerland, the land of his
birth, latter the war was over. Later he was
sent to America as an Ambassador, and is
now member of the Executive Cabinet in
Switzerland. Phister and Stefani, the
White House florists at Washington, were
born in Switzerland.
The day now to be celebrated means to
the SwisS people what the Fourth of July
does to Americans. 1t is the anniversary
of an event which bound together three
Swiss cantons, forming as it were the
neucleus of the Swiss Federation of to-day.
This confederation was formed simply for
the purpose Of checking the inroads of the
Habsburgers. A beautiful lake extends be-
tween the three forest cantons, which are of
themselves separated from the rest of the
world and makes with them an extremely
picturesque piece of country. This lake was

REV BILLS IN EQUITY.
A Couple of Important Ones Filed in the
Courts Yesterday.

A bill in equity was filed yesterday by T.
Burr Robbins against j. NJ. Gufey, John
Galley and M. Murphy. Robbins states
that he owns the coal under 81 acres of
land in North Fayette township. The de-
PENDANTS have leased the oil and gas rights
of the land and are about to bore two wells
Robbins claims that they have no right to
bore through his coal and that the escaping
gas would fill his mines and make it danger
GUS to property and miners. An injunction
is asked for to restrain them from boring
through the coal.
Desiri Paskin Yesterday filed bill in
equity against j. D. Sauters, asking for a
decree to compel the latter to give him
deed for lot in North Fayette township.
Santers had exchanged the lot for one in
Washington county but after getting
possession of the latter refused to give
Paskin deed for the one in North Fayette
