PEACE AND RELIGION.
The Two Topics Discussed Mt La
Nights Council Session.

The Two Topics Discussed Mt Last
Nights Council Session.
The two topics for discussion at the ses-
sion of the council last evening were peace
and religion, and the members had a good
chance to express their views on these two
Christian subjects, in which women espe-
cially take such an interest. The session
attracted particular attention from the
public bv reason of the fact that the
Countess of Aberdeen, president of the In
ternationel Council of Women and of the
Canadian Council of Women, was present
on the platform and made a brief address
on the subject of peace. Just before she
spoke there was pretty little incident
when Mrs. Sewan presented the countess
with the badge of the national council with
a few appropriate words Of welcome.
Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey, president of the
Women's Foreign Missionary Union of
Friends, presided over the discussion of
religion.
Miss Eta Johnson sang an Arabic hymn
in Arabic, all in a minor key. The major
key, she said, was a Christian product.
Woman as Minister and Missionary.
"Woman's mission to the church as
minister and missionary" was discussed
by Miss Eliza c.. Armstrong of Indiana,
a minister in the Friends Church and
editor Of the Friends Missionary Advo-
cate.
Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey Of Maine spoke on
peace work in its relation to woman.
Her principal point was that we should
teach the children that true patriotism
consists in doing good and not evil to our
fellow-countrymen, and teach them to love
the flag of our country, to regard it only as
an emblem or ensign Of our nationality,
and to hold it sacred as such. We wish
every school house in our land had this
beautiful emblem floating over it.
The Universal Peace Union. she informed
her audience, is doing everything in its
power to discourage the teaching Of mill
tary drills in the public schools.
Belva LOckwood's Address.
1.-The Growth Of Peace Principles and the
Methods Of Propagating Them" was the
subject Of an earnest address by Mrs. Belva
A. Lockwood of this city. She spoke of
the many wars that had devastated the
world in times past and of the attention
that is paid to military matters now to the
exclusion of the arts and industries. In
conclusion she said:

HER LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
The Sad Death Of a South Side School
Girl.
Was Run Over by a Street Car
Yesterday Morning While on Her
Way to School-An Unavoidable
Accident-No Blame Attached to
the MOtorman.

An extremely sad accident occurred
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning at
the corner of Twenty-eighth and Eoff
streets, by which a young girl, aged
about II years, was instantly killed.
The affection falls doubly heavy on
the parents of the little one, as it has
been but short time since another
child died.
About $50 o'clock, yesterday morn
ing, as car No. Sc, on the electric line
was coming up to the city, in charge of
motorman VIM. L. Helstern, it knocked
down and instantly killed eleven-year-
old Nellie Schiherrer. The car was NOS
running rapidly at the time of the ac-
cident, as was evidenced from the fact
that il was stopped within a length of
Itself.
AS the car approached Twenty-eighth
street there was an ice wagon standing
on the west side Of the street. and from,
behind this the little girl ran out in
front Of the approaching car. Motor
I man Helstern saw her and commenced
ringing the gong on the car very
violently as we'll as called to her to get
out Of the way.
The little one seemed to realize the
! danger she was in, but was apparently
| pOWerless to move out Oh the way of
! the car It looked for a moment as
though she intended to try TO cross the
track and get away, and she did move
a few steps, but the car caught her be-
fore she could get off the track.
Apparently the little one was thrown
down and the front wheels passed over
her left shoulder and neck, as the
marks show very plainly that the
wounds there caused her death. Her
neck was broken, arms crushed and
broken, and the flesh on her shoulder
! and neck was torn.
A number Of persons were about the
| street at the time and saw the acct
dent. All that could be seen last night
we're Of the opinion that no blame could
! be attached to Motorman Helstern, as
! the accident was entirely unavoidable
The remains of the child were picked
up and taken into a neigboring house
and Coroner Schultze notified. He ar
rived on the scene a short time after
ward and after hearing the evidence
of those who witnessed the accident, he
decided that it was unnecessary to en-
PANEL a jury and hold an inquest, as
it was plainly a case Of accidental
death
After the remains had been viewed
by the Coroner. they were removed to
The home of her mother, Mrs. Bensch-
Ter, in Alley H, near Schmulbach brew
cry.
This is the first serious accident that
Eas happened on the electric line for
over two years. and it is remarkable
that there are not more fatalities to re-
port from the way children and even
adults expose themselves TO danger.

Henry Irving's Experience With Too Ala
Around Admirer.

Around Admirer.
When Sir Henry Irving was in Dublin,
he met very enthusiastic admirer of the
Lyceum productions. Irving asked him
what plays be had SEEN
''Wel1," he replied, &C. saw Romeo and
Juliet I thought it was simply fine.
Miss Terry was splendid as Juliet, espe-
cially in the balcony scene-you remember
the balcony scene, don't you, where she''-
ooh, yes,' replied Irving, IT remem-
Der it very WE'LL You know 1 played
Romeo?''
Eyes, yes, remember. Then the nurse
wasn't the nurse very good? Who is it
played that part-oh, yes, Mrs. Sterling,
wasn't it9 And the apothecary, thought
he was very good. Didn't you?"
well, what other plays did you seer"
asked Irving.
WELL L saw Macbeth for one"
"Did you like it?'
"Oh, yes, especially that scene where
Lady Macbeth comes in with the taper,
you know, and looks at her handl How
is this that goes? Out, damned spoil
Out, 1 say!' And then something about
the perfumes of Arabia And then
there's a fine scene between her and Mac
beth, where she tells him-I forget, but it
was very good. And Banquo was awfully
good Don't you think so?"
wen, olo you see damle1r ASKED
Irving.
q" 'Hamlet?' Oh, yesl Polonius struck
me as particularly good in that. Do you
remember where he is giving his advice to
Laertes-
"Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unpro-
portioned thought his act;
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar
Those friends thou hast, and something some
thing tried,
Grapple them TO thy soul with hooks Of steel.
81 forget how it goes on. Horatio was
very good too"
"Well, played Hamlet in that, you
know, " ventured Irving.
ooh, indeedl Yes; to be sure. I re-
member. But who was it that played the
ghost?"
Irving gave it up when it reached this
point.-New York Sun.

Bids for the New Rooms at the State
House Renewed.
The state executive council has decid-
ed to ask for new bids for furnishing the
new rooms at the state house.
Bids from five different firms were
opened at the last meeting of the coun-
Gil and all were rejected because the
members of the council thought the bids
were too close together to look absolute
ly fair.
The bids made for the contract were
from the following firms:
The Specially Manufacturing com
pany of Rochester, N. Y, S10612.
Geo. D. Bernhard & Co., st. Louis,
$11,O9S 80.
St. Louis Art Metal Co., $1e,667.
Gueder & Paschle Manufacturing Co.,
of Milwaukee. $10,56S. 10.
Fento Metal Manufacturing company,
jamestown, N, Y SO, 6435 so.
The ST. Louis Art Metal company had
a large number of local Republican poll
ticians working in its interest and some
of these local agents were very much
disappointed at the action of the council
in rejecting all of the bids.

A Wise Son.

1t is related of q well known merchant
of a neighboring city that, after making
his will and leaving a large property to a
trustee for his son, he called the young
man in, and after reading the will to him
asked if there was any improvement or
alteration he could suggest.
''Well, father said the young gentle
man, lighting a cigarette, Il think as
things go nowadays it would be better for
me if you left the property to the other
fellow and made me trustee
The old gentleman made up his mind
then and there that the young man was
quite competent to take charge of his own
inheritance and scratched the trustee
clause out.-Texas Siftings.
