CHINA WILL RET ALIATE
If the Geary Act is Enforced American
Must Depart.

If the Geary Act is Enforced Americans
Must Depart.
WASHINGTON, May. 30.-The statement
of j. Hubley Ashton, one of the counsel
for the Chinese government in the recent
test case before the Supreme court as to
the constitutionality of the Geary law, that
China intended to retaliate if the provis-
ions of the law were carried out, is caus-
ing a great deal of discussion.
Mr. Ashton was asked when the new
Chinese Minister was expected to arrive in
this country.
"In about month";" was the reply.
els the statement correct that he is de-
laying his departure in order to bring an
ultimatum from the Chinese government
as to the Geary law, and its violation of
treaty obigations"
ooh, think not" was the reply. ''The
Chinese government has already Informed
the State Department that if anything is
done under the Geary law all relations
with China-diplomatic, commercial and
otherwise-may be considered as termin-
ated. The Americans now in China will
be ordered to withdraw, and what trade
we have with China will stop. Mr..
Gresham has already been noticed of
this, as the diplomatic phrase goes There
is nothing further to be said on the part
of the Chinese government"

A PHYSICIAN who has devoted special
study to the grip says that it is easier
to determine by the after effects
whether a patient is suffering from
the endemic or the common, non-con-
tagious form of influenza, than it is by
the primitive symptoms. Influenza of
the ordinary sort leaves no after eff
fects of any consequence, but grip
leaves the patient with profound
nervous depression that it is as bad as
the disease.

DR., GRAVES FREE
Released $4,000 Eail-Probabi1ity
of His Never Being Again Tried.

DENVER, Col, May 30.-Dr. T. Thatcher
Graves, who last year was convicted of the
murder of Mrs Josephine Barnaby of Provi-
dence, R. l., is to-day free man for the
first time in two years. In the morning
he appeared in Judge Burns court where
his motion for new trial has been pend
ing for some weeks Without further de-
lay the court set the new trial for June IA
and fixed the doctors bail at $50, 900.
Judge Bacon, the doctors attorney,
signed the bond and the prisoner walked
from the court room a free man.
The general opinion among lawyers and
court officials is that this ends the famou
case. There is no expectation that the sec,
ontl trial will ever be called, and the final
motion will probably be a nolle prosequi.

THE backwardness of the season in
this country is brought out by contrast
with climatic conditions reported in
England. Reports received by mail of
two or three weeks ago spoke of the
country districts as then presenting an
exceedingly attractive appearance from
the fact that the cherry, pear and plum
trees were full of white blossoms, while
the apple trees were just opening their
buds. We believe that it IS commonly
the case that the spring in New Eng
land opens at about the time that the
spring IN old England gives evidence of
its power, but on this year we are far
behindhand, and those. interested in
agriculture, who look morning after
morning at an out of door thermometer
and find the mercury just little above
the freezing point, who note the slug.
gishness of the movements which
nature makes in revivifying herself
must have had occasion to wonder
whether we are to have this year a gen,
uine summer, or whether it is possible
we are to experience something like
that of two generations ago, when in
New England there was a snowfall
within the range of the summer months
and very considerable loss of all agri'
cultural undertakings.

EX-SENATOR DAWES recent statement
that the sun does not go down on the
western border until it has arisen on the
able incredulity, but an investigation
shows that he is correct. Taking the
most eastern island of Maine as our
eastern boundary, and the most west
ern island of the Aleutian chain as our
western boundary, it is calculated
that at the present time the sun does
not disappear from tho latter until it
begins to appear on the former. But
it is allowed that it is a very close call.

WHY should democratic senators and
publicans retained in office? That is a
question that has puzzled the president,
the members of the cabinet and the
heads of the important bureaus of the
government, and also at times very
much embarrassed them. For instance,
democratic senator or representative
goes to the head of a department or
bureau and asks that republican chief
of a division be asked to resign and one
of his constituents, a democrat, be ap-
pointed to the place. He is confronted
with letter from democratic senator
or representative, sometimes with
letters from several of each, insisting
and in some instances actually demand
ing that the republican chief be kept in
office. You may imagine the embar-
rassment that follows. If this practice
| is kept up some sensational disclosures
may be made when congress meets, by
those democrats who believe that posi-
tions as important as chiefs of divisions
ought to be held by democrats, if demo.
cratic ideas of economy and reform are
to be thoroughly carried out in the
work of the government in all its
branches. They claim that democratic
senators and representatives have no
right to allow personal friendship for
Republican officials, which is supposed
to be the reason for their endorsement,
to stand in the way of filling the i'm.
portant offices with democrats, to say
nothing of the bad effect the retention
of these republicans will have on the
working democrats who have applied
for these places, believing themselves
entitled to them. These men make nc
complaint when place they are after is
given to another democrat, but they dc
not like to see republicans retained il
the places they think ought to be filled
by democrats.

AMONG the home industries of to-day
soap-making is lost art, but there was
time Sin the days that are no more"
when the well-flled soft-soap barrel
was an important complement to good
housekeeping. Apropos Of that ancient
custom, which called for much skill
and ability on the part of the presiding
angel of the household, is the tale that
is told of charming young lady of
Kalamazoo. She was soap-making. A
caller appearing, she fastened to her
boudoir, whence she soon re-appeared,
wreathed in smiles and wearing her
best attire, to greet her guest in the
drawing-room. Imagine her astonish-
ment as she explained the cause of her
delay, it being greeted with the ex-
clamation: "Soap-makingl Why, you
look as if you had never seen any soap"

WASHING wooLLEN SOCKS.
1.-TWO or three people have recently
asked me how to wash infants wooden
socks" said an experienced nurse. 1T
is very easy. All that is necessary is
bowl of warm soapsuds, in which the
socks are to be gently pressed and
squeezed until they look clean. They
may then be rinsed in other light suds
and hung up to dry, without wringing.
Indeed, this is one of the secrets OF sue
cessful work of this sort. Such articles
should never be pressed at all hard
merely the slightest squeezing and rims
ing up and down in the suds are all that
is required. Wringing wooden articles
mats the fibres of the wool, and will GER
tainly spoil them.
"They should be hung up by the tops
and allowed to drip until almost dry,
when they may be taken down and gent
| ly pulled with the hands and shaped, care
being taken not to stretch them out OF

A WINTER SABBATH.
BY OLIVE D. DANA.

A Sabbath silence on the shining snow,
A happy stiffness in the mellow ar,
A sun like that of summer i'll it's glow.
And gentle winds the churcl-bellS' cnlmes W
bear.
A breath of gladness waited everywhere,
A holy hush upon the lce-bound neldS,
And on the hills in the blue. distant air,
The blessed calm no other morning ylelds.
Nature seems echoing the Scripture word
From glistening mea.ow and from snowy
'.Within Ills holy temple is the Lord.
Let all the earth before him silence keep
All joy and beauty are his witnesses;
His is the glory of the distant Nights,
The rose of dawn, tie nOontide glow, are
his,
And he the symphonies of sunset writes.
Butfairer than the world without appears
One dear, familiar, consecrated place, of
Fragrant with prayer, with memories OF
And radiant with the shining OF his face.
The unseen things are lovelier than the seen;
The plainest message often IS unneaTd;
The Spirit speaks our iostling Joys between;
For us to listen waits the patient Nofa.
The beauty of the earth and air and sky
Is by believing hearts interpreted,
And meanings that we thoughtessly pass by
Are by deVout and trustful spirits read
The Sabbaths are ''the Lords Days" and his
gifts;
He fills the stainless skies with light lse'
rene;
Unto himself the longing heart he lifts,
That his own love and light be felt and seen.
