His Rights and Privileges.

New York, Aug. THE Rev. DIR.
Edward McGlyr celebrated mass at 7:30
yesterday morning in st. Finbar's Roman
Catholic Church at Bath Beach.
Long before the hour appointed for the

the church so that when DR.. McGlynn, ac-
companied by Father II. b. Ward, rector

himself at the altar, every seat was filled
and camp stools were used In tho aisles
DIR. Mctilynn was assisted by Rev. Father
Ward. The mass being "low," it was
read. not chanted, and only two tapers
lighted the altar. There was no music
whatever. At the close of the service DIR.
McGlynn administered communion to
about $50 persons. 1t was believed that
the clergyman would address the congre
CATION, but he simply read the ritual and
occasionally faced the congregation with
eyes cast downward and hands in attitude
of prayer.

service DIR, Glynn said: II shall remain at
Bensonhurst with my nieces until October
and endeavor to derive benefit from the
bracing sea air. While here will say mass

BAD FOR THE BABIES.
Cholera Infantum Mt Buffalo Caused ny

BUFFALO, Aug. THE Board Of Health
report for July reveals an alarming condi-
tion in Buffalo. During the month .26
babies died here of cholera infnntum. An
investigation has been begun and the cpl
demic has been traced chiefly to kad milk.
1t has been found that in the Polish dis
trict especially milk is kept as long rs
sweet cream can be obtained from It, The
stale skim milk is sold Ice cold to Polish
mothers at the rate Of two quarts for five
cents, and the stuff is fed to infants with
out being warmed in order that it may not
turn sour. 1t is found also that the milk
coolers used by some of the dealers con-
meet directly with the sewers, permitting
sewer gas to contaminate the milk. The
cows of n few OF the dealers are fed with
swill. Steps are being taken by the
Health Department to reform these evils

IN EXTRA SESSION.
Scenes and Incidents at the Capitol This
Noon.

Scenes and Incidents at the Capitol This
Noon.
WASHINGTON, Aug 7.-For the 18th
time in the history of the United States,
congress was convened at noon today in
''extraordinary" session.
The story which the session will make
for itself will probably justify that title in
more than one sense. Convened for n
single specific object-the repeal or modi-
fcation of what is popularly known as the
Sherman act-it will not be restricted to
that bare program, Dut will have, in con-
nection with it, to legislate on tho whole
subject of finance, including, probably,
thorough revision of the tariff. Those
two subjects, distant aud yet connected,
will supply material enough to occupy the
attention Of congress for many months to
come.
The house was called to order by Clerk
Kerr, who was selected by caucus of his
party for reelection. but who would
nevertheless have performed tha. duty
under the law as the holding over clerk
of the last house, even If he had not been
chosen for reelection. When he called
the roll he looked upon nearly 100 new
and untried men and found many familiar
faces abstN.
The usual resolution notifying the senate
that it bad been organized and was ready
for business was sent to that body. The
afternoon was occupied in the biennial
drawing for seats.
Old Rulos Adopted.
AS IL IL only by authority of the rules OF
the house that the speaker appoints the
committees, the usual custom was followed
of adopting temporarily the rules Of the
previous congress.
No bills under the rules can be intro
duced until the committees have been
named, but the desire Of representatives
20 keep pace with the senate in this re-
spect will probably cause resolution to
be passed suspending the rules so as to
permit the introduction Of bills for refer
encc TO the appropriate committees when
appointed
There will probably be little done In the
house during the first week, owing to the
organization of committees, etc. Speaker
Crisp was sworn In by Representative
Charles O'Neill Of Pennsylvania, who is
the oldest member in point of service and
the father Of the house"
In tho Senate.
In the present session, when exciting
conflicts may be anticipated and when
parliamentary rulings may have TO be
prompt, sharp and decisive, Mr.. Steven
son will have reliable substitute TO call

The "SO0ner" Got Him.

An Oklahoma editor who got left

forth in the following touching
psalm"
o, sooner, thou hast headed me
off and done me up with u great do.
Thou knowest which claim

Thou compasseth my path, my

Thou hast beset me before and be-

for me; it covereth me like tent; it
is high; my pole won't knock the

PLACE THE COIL PROPERLY.

Wome, should Consider the shape OF
Their Heads when Dressing the Hair.
Don't make the mistake of letting
your coil project too far Remember
that the symmetrical head in a profile
view must be included in circle, the
chin and the edge of the coil being at
the circumference of the circle. This is
the philosophy of the bang, for If the
forehead is not full enough to I'LL out
the upper edge of the circle, the hair
loosened and curled will supply the
need. But remember that the coil or
the rest of the headdress must be
planned accordingly. In this idea of
circle is the secret of the coils correct
arrangement 1t should come at that
point of the head that requires bal
ancing, a little too high or little too
low and the effect is ruined The coil
itself may be pretty, the hair may be
lovely, the face charming, but some
how the whole effect is not satisfactory.
1t is because the circle is violated some
where. Understand that in many cases
the coil comes distinctly outside the
circle, but in such cases it must be 80
distinctly outside that the heads own
contour is but emphasized thereby.
That is why only the very symmetrical
head can stand the pronounced "Psy-
che" or the exaggerated Greek effect
The head whose own contour is faulty
must have the help of coil in just the
right place to make the whole becom-
ing. The really symmetrical head can
wear the hair anywhere, provided 1t is
well outside OF the circle. Such head
is only spoiled by spread-about style
that blurs the heads own outline. Some
heads are prettily curved from the chin
over the forehead and half way down
the head. Such heads should always
wear low coil. Deficiency just below
that line is then supplied. A head
whose better curve is the lower one
takes the hair high or just above CEN
trail line. CHICAGO Post

THE PlTAkATS.
Palm Leaf Manuscripts of the Burmese
lriests.

Palm Leaf Manuscripts Of the Burmese
Priests.
The books of the Buddhist Scriptures
are the Pitakats, or the three baskets,
called respectively The Basket of Dis
cipline," 1.-THE Basket of Discourses"
and 1.-THE Basket of Metaphysics"
Among the educated Burmese there has
been recently started an association,
styled the Thathanaheeta association,
for the propagation of the Buddhist re-
ligion, its chief aims being to print the
three Pitakat palm leaves into a book,
and to establish school under the
management of a European Buddhist.
In every convent there is collection
of manuscript books which have been
engraved on palm leaves, with an iron
style. by the phoongyees, or priests.
The leaves are placed between two
wooden boards and made into volume
by string being passed through both
ends OF the covers and manuscripts. A
few rare books are written on sheets of
ivory, which are stained black, the
characters ba;ng enameled and the mar
gins Dcdutiiuiiy khuCu. AL Iiic uOOhs
belonging to a monastery are kept in
handsome gilt and vanished boxes
made of teak.
There are scarcely any books on sci
ence, art or travel, but there are several
on medicine. The doctors, who are
grossly ignorant, are divided into two
parties, one trusting Solely 10 diet and
the other to medi inc. Diseases are di-
vided into ninety-six kinds, with several
subdivisions, and the medical books
describe these diseases and the treat
ment necessary for their cure. Nearly
all their medicines are taken from
p ants, and most of their prescriptions
have been in use for many generations.
Surgery is a science OF which they know
absolutely nothing, and ali deformities.
congenital or otherwise, are left to take
their course. Amputation is never at
tempted. although in the days of the
Burmese kings it was frequently per-
formed, deserters from the army being
punished by having both their legs cut
off and then being left to bleed to death.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IS.
THE BOARD OF TRADE.

liz ipdAtSi cpiiiiSS iDOdid VI
Trade has done n good deal in the
way of advertising the town and
would do much more towards bring
ing capital and emigration here if
il were supported as it should be
by our citizens. Then there is no
money in the treasury to do any
thing with and there is great deal
that might be done if the board had
the money to do it. We have the
inducements to offer that should
bring capital, business. manufact-
cries, railroads and home seekers.
but for lack of funds we are not
letting the outside world know
what grand opportunities await
them here.
Our people should show more
confidence in their town than they
have heretofore done and there is
no better way to show it than by
supporting and encouraging the
Board of Trade. A few dollars
might bring paper mill, a foundry,
flour mill or machine shop,
Strangers visiting the town may be
properly entertained and induced
10 locate through the attention of
its officers. Correspondence might
be carried on beneficial to the
town. but this no individual would
do. There are many things that
can be done through "a board of
trade that cannot be done through
any other channel and why our
business men take no interest in
our institutions is mystery.
If we obtain the electric road or
any other railroad great deal of
work must be done in getting the
right of way, securing franchises,
lands, etc, which no private indi-
vidual will or can afford to do. If
we expect to secure anything in the
way of public improvements we
shall expect our Board of Trade to
examine into their character and
represent the taxpayers and citizens.
Every town or city that looks for
ward to any sort of development
should have such an organization
and should accord it liberal sup
port at all times. The time is soon
coming when Eastern manufact-
urers and capitalists will be look
ing for locations. We have the
best there is, but if we hide our
selves as many seem anxious to do,
as sure as there is a God in Israel
we will get left.
You citizens of Baxter Springs
who own property and expect to
stay here must see the necessity of
keeping the fact before the people
that we have opportunities sur
passing all others. that we intend
to keep up with the procession and
that as an opening for the invest
ment of capital Baxter Springs is
second to none.
Every citizen of Baxter should
become member of the organi-
zation and those who are able
should donate S. or $40 according
to their faith and means and not
only this, but they should have reg
ular monthly meetings and attend
these meetings so that every enter
prise may be duly considered and
none allowed to slip by for want of
attention.
1t is true every man has his pri-
vate business to attend to, but there
are public duties belonging to every
good citizen and they should not
be neglected. 1t was not the pri-
vate enterprise of her citizens that
made Chicago the Queen city of the
world, but the public spirited men
of that city who were able to look
