The settlement by the arbitrators of

al a time when it's precept could not
have conveyed more weight among the
peace-loving nations and people of the
earth. peace congress of many ma
tions i J now in session at Chicago, over
which the assistant secretary of State,
Josiah Quincy, has presided. While
but little business of Importance has
yet been reported the object Of the con-
gress impresses itself as moro worthy
OF consideration by the great nations of
the earth, now that this settlement has
been amicably reached. Just what this
congress advocates-.he settlement of
all international difficulties by arbitra-
tio1-Great Britain and the United
States have done. And the settlement,
moreover. meets the approval of all
parties concerned. Our country, while
it has been decided against in some
particulars, has no fault to find in
general with the settlement OF contro-
versy which has almost at times
plunged the two nations into bloody
conflict. There is no heart-rending
scene in the homes of the people of
either nation over this method of war.

accumulated as the expenses Of q pro.

work Of the peace congress- go mer-
rilly on.

THE CONVENTION.

The convention which will assemble
to- day in Richmond will in it's vast ma
jority develop hardly ripple of ex-
element. Harmony is the watch word
and while few disgruntled soreheads,
condemned even by the small minority
which will range in opposition to
O'Ferrall may make q ripple on the
surface, it will be the ripple caused
by their final plunge into the pool of
political oblivion.
Colonel O'Ferrall will receive on the
first ballot larger vote than has ever
paign manager. Kent and Scott will
almost certainly be the balance of the
ticket. The platform will, as has been
forecast in THE TIMES, deal principally
with State issues, and, while giving a
general Endorsement of the Chicago
platform, avoid specific references.
Judge Belts, Of Portsmouth, will
probably be supported for permanent
chairman, as a recognition not only OF
his acknowledged fairness and ability
as presiding officer, but of the prac-
tical solidity Of the Second Congressional
district for O'Ferrall. Tho OFerrall
sentiment is so strong that it can afford
to be even magnanimous in its treat
ment of the opposition, but any attempt
to make personal attack on him will
be visited with just, immediate and eff
fective condemnation.
The craftsmanship of the State COM
mittee is not yet determined upon.
Judge East is emphatic in his declara-
tion that he cannot take it. There are
several sGrong men, however, who would
be acceptable to all sections and no
trouble is anticipated in this respect.

A
Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction Of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice Of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

An Eng,ishman who was present at the
Tichborne trial gives an amusing account
Of the way In which Arthur Orion, the
Wrapping butcher" was nonplused by
Mr.. Hawkins, counsel for young Sir Alfred
Tichborne. Mr. Hawkins, leaning back
against the bench and looking over his eye
glasses at the portly claimant, said to him,
you, Of course, having been brought up
on the Tichborne estate, remember the lit.
tie village Of Owlsbury on the estates'
Mr.. Hawkins pronounced the name Of the
town as it has always been pronounced by
the people of that country-as II 1t were
spelled "Hussslberry."
Now" he continued, will you kindly
spell the name of that little town with
which you are so familiars' The claimant
without q moments hesitation spelled 1t
exactly as 1t is pronounced. Would you
be surprised to hear" asked Mr.. Hawkins
quietly, shat It is spelled 'O-w-l-s-b-u-r-y,'
and that everybody within miles of Itch
borne House Is aware of that factf" The
claimant, who had been surprised so often
that he had become callous, simply nodded

Ned Cartwright the champion light
weight OF Washington, was knocked
out by John Stannard, champion light
weight of Delaware, In the Warren
Athletic Clubs gymnasium last night.
The official time was one minute and
thirty seconds.
The men stepped into the ring ut
1908 o'clock amid a hearty applause.
lStannaid wore black tights and a
black shirt. and was backed by Frank
and Thomas Mullln. Cartwright wore
white tights and a red Jersey shirt and
was seconded by James Martin and
Ehos Dougherty.
Tie men stepped forward and Cart
wright led with his right and followed
with his left, both OF which failed to
land. Stannard then opened with his
left, which sent the Washington lad
to the floor. He arose In a few sec.
i0nds and led with both arms, but
Stannard warded them of. Cartwright
led again and before he could collect
himself Stannard drove his left and
right, both taking effect and doing
the work.
The knockout was so quickly done
that many of the spectators were dis
appointed. The impression was that
the men would fight long. but Stan
lnard seemed to be determined to lin
Iish his man In a short time.
There were about $50 spectators and
they enjoyed four preliminary bouts,
which were: Cochran and Loughlin,
los pounds; Bolen and Woolery, 1856
pounds; Mccarthy and McAlahon, 125
pounds; Glynn and Sicily. 120
pounds.
