WASHINGTON, May 19.-The A. P. A.
supreme council closed it's sessions
Monday.
At meeting of delegates to the su-
preme council, representing 90 different
states, held Monday evening after the
council adjourned, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were adopted
unanimously.
Whereas. The supreme council of the A. P.
A. Of the United States at its sessions Satur-
day evening, by a unanimous vote, adopted the
report Of the national advisory board. which
report endorsed the action OF the
executive committee of said board, and
in plain language said that the executive
committee was justified in publishing the po-
litical affiliation OF Mckinley with the Roman
hierarchy, which affiliation is proven by the
afidavits of reputable members of the order,
and which affdavits have never been contro-
verted, except by the unsworn statement of
Maj. Mckinley himself: and
VIII ereas, Maj Mckinley did on May II,
1896, to q committee of the national advisory
board in the city of Canton, O., state that he
heartily approved the principles of the A. p.
A. and on the following day gave an interview
to the press denying that he had met such
committee. thus giving the lie to the report Of
the committee which was composed of honor
able and truthful gentlemen. and,
Whereas, the members Of supreme council
have during Its session been bounded and
badgered by large lobby, composed OF mem
bers and non-members Of the order that used
the most disreputable blackmailing meth
DDS to discrcdit the advisory board and
to turn the supreme council into
Mckinley ratification meeting and having
signally failed to clear Mckinley in conse-
quence of his pro- papal political record to-
day, after wo-thirds Of the delegaGes had
started for home, attempted to take revenge
by abolis hing the national advisory board and
accomplished the same by o vote Of 30 to 20.
Resolved. That we, the delegates in con-
demnation meeting assembled, denounce the
unwarran ted interference Of the paid McKin-
ley lobby with the affairs Of the order and de-
nounce the cowardly denial by Mckinley of
his endorsement of the principles of the order
given by him to our committee and,
Resolved. That because Of his record, as
reported by the national advisory board. we
herewith pledge ourselves to, by our influence
and efforts, accomplish his defeat

The joke about four aces beating five
kings has been often sprung, but there
are few people who know that Bill
Lange of the Chicago team was the hero
Of that famous incident 1t was years
ago In San Francisco, when Lange was
budding boy and King Kalakaua was
a social star during his trip to this coun-
try. Lange, although so young, was
even then hot sport, and, SO 1t CHANGED,
happened one night to find himself in
hot poker game, with King Kalakaua
opposite. Bill had three aces-history
deposes not as to how many he had held
out-and Kalakaua three kings. Every
body dropped out except the king and
the boy. Kalakaua caught another king
in the draw, and Lange received the
final ace. There was considerable bet
ting, q coast millionaire backing Lange
heavily, and goodly sum was In sight
when the call came. The hands were
shown, and thus it happened that Bill
Lange, with four aces, defeated five
kings-Kalakaua and the four lesser
monarchs of the deck. Chicago News.

The Public Service In China.

Ex-Secretary John w. Foster, who
was the confidential adviser of the en-
peror Of China in the peace negotiations
with Japan, contributes paper on
1.-The Viceroy Lii Hung Chang" to The
Century. Mr.. Foster says Of the vice
roy:
He does not regard the competitive
educational system of admission to the
public service as perfect method, and
mole than once he has recommended to
his emperor material notifications i'll
the existing system. But it must be
confessed that it has stood tho test of
centuries with much benefit to China,
and its practical. operation has demon
strated that it possesses two merits OF
inestimable value TO any nation. First,
it brings all the offices of the empire
within the reach of the lowest subject,
and secondly, it diminishes the incen-
tives to and opportunities of corruption
and favoritism in securing entrance
into official life. But in China the COM
petitive examination ends with the adj
mission. Beyond that step promotion
must come though other methods. Lii
Hung Chang secured the right of ad-
mission to office through his assiduous
application to study, and every succeed
ing step in his upward career has been
attained by his own genius and capacity.

SPEED OF INSECTS.


A Common House Fly Travels u Mile In
Thirty-three Seconds.
1t is the popular belief that the flight
Of the birds is much swifter than that
Of the insects, but number of natural
lists who have been making study of
the matter think that such il not the
case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid i'll its flight, but its
wings make 500 beats u second and
send it through the air 20 feet, under
ordinary circumstances, in that space of
time. When the insect is alarmed, how
ever, it has been found that it can in
crease its rate of speed to over 100 feet
per second. If it could continue such
rapid flight for GiIlo sn o straight line,
it would cover that distance i'll exactly
83 seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
SEQ bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get i'll ut one Of the
windows. A swallow is considered one
of the swiftest of flying birds, and il
was thought until recently that no in
sect could escape it.
a naturalist tells of an exciting chase
he saw between swallow and dragon
fly, which is among the swiftest of in.
scots. Tho insect flew with incredible
speed and wheeled and lodged with
such ease that the swallow, despite its
utmost efforts, completely failed to over
take and capture it.-Science.

Portraits and aPictures."

If one can give the portrait and make

better, but if the portrait be given with

result will be picture--a work Of art

FARMING AS A PROFESSION.
May Things That Can BE Raised For the
Stomach and the Head.

Prosperity and pleasure from farm
life require that you aim first to raise
your own food and sell only to cover
the balance. Begin with the idea simply
Of independence and not of wealth. 1t
is the best ambition. The rich man does
not enjoy as much as the independent
man. To do this you must raise fruits
as we'll as what are called main crops.
Fruit constitutes half or more of good
diet. My own children have never eaten
pound of meat. (My horses have not.
add this as an answer to those who
think meat an essential to strength.
says E. P. Powell in The Independent.
Fijians consider eating eyes essential to
long eyesight.) We can raise apples,
pears, plums, cherries, currants, berries,
grapes, and these, with eggs, chickens.
beans and milk and vegetables, will
cover nearly all a family needs for the
table.
Begin in very small way. 1t is an
age Of splurging and plunging. Do not
begin that way. Keep accounts and see
that one hand washes the other. Every
farm should have its study department
as we'll as its dig department.. There are
geology, botany, entomology, astronomy
all at home for you. Why send the boys
off to learn something elseP You think
you cannot teach them; you can learn
Get books like Comstock's "Entomol-
ogy" and Shaler's Geology" Study
them as a piece of family work, as our
fathers studied Scott's "Commenta-
ries. Then divide your farm work so
that part Of it shall be experimental,
Pick up facts as we'll as potatoes. Then
have shop and laboratory. where all
the finger wisdom in the family can be
developed and muscle wit be encouraged.
1t will pay in cash and pay i'll indie
pendence and pay in pleasure.
What mean to emphasize is that
home should be big enough in spirit to
make elbow room and brain room for
the boys and girls. There is no reason
why they should feel that home is too
narrow for them, and they must get
away as soon as possible. wish my
home to be so full and roomy that moth
ing else shall seem larger to my chill
dren. While not opposing schools, l
hold they should supplement, not sup
