Their Society Is tho First Of tho Kind
Formed In n Nonooioniai State.
The National Society of the Colonial
Danes. organized in May, 1892, by the
federation of the Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Delaware and New Jersey state
societies, has since spread to all the
original colonial states. and Illinois is
the first noncolonial state to fall into
line and join the organization. This has
been brought about through the efforts
of Mrs. S. ii. Kerfoot, who was APP
pointed state chairman by the national
body and who has received many apph-
cations for membership from Illinois
women. One of these applicants is Mrs.
Adlai Il. Stevenson, wife Of tho vice
president Of the United States, whose
home is in Bloomington.
The national constitution of the soci-
ETY. declares that its first object shall be
"the commemoration of the brilliant
achievements OF the founders of this
great republic, TO the end that the wom-
en-. as well as the men, of this land may
be stimulated to better and nobler
deeds. " Those eligible for membership
are women who are descended in their
own right from some ancestor of worthy
life who came TO reside in an American
colony prior TO 1850, which ancestor. or
some one Of his descendants, being Z

when he was only rs years Of age and
went to the front as a member of the
Sixth Ohio infantry. When his first term
of service as a volunteer expired. he re-
enlisted for three years. He fought un-
der Mcclellan in the West Virginia
campaign and was with Grant at Shi-
Ion. In February, 1868, he was trans
ferrcd to the First Mississippi Marine
brigade. One day near Austin, Miss, he
received charge Of small shot full in
the face and was soon Mortified to learn
that he was totally blind.
He received an honorable discharge
from the army and entered school for
the blind at Columbus, o., remaining
there for seven years studying and pre-
pairing himself for the ministry. He
then entered the Theological seminary at
Canton, N. Y, and was finally licensed
to preach. His first pastorate was at
Madrid. N. y, and he has since preach
ed the gospel at Willoughby, o.. Chat
ham, Mass. and Port Huron, Mich. He
was pastor of the Universalist church at
Port Huron until several months ago,
when he resigned. He is described as a
man Of lovable character and scholarly
tastes.
Congress has long been partial to
blind chaplains and chaplains who
make short prayers. The Rev. W. II.
Milburn, who became famous as the
"blind chaplain of the house.. was ap
pointed away back in 1916 and has been
praying in the house at intervals for the
past 90 years. Not long ago he wal
transferred to the senate, which he now
opens with prayer.

The difference in the estimation IN which
the offices Of President and Vice President
are held is clearly shown by the receptions
given Mr.. Bryan, the democratic nominee
for President, and Mr. Sewau. the demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President on their
way 10 New York from their respective
homes. Mr. Bryan's trip from Lincoln.
Neb.. was one continued ovation. In all
the large cities and at all the small sta
tons he was greeted by crowds OF peo-
pie. The demand for speeches and the
privilege Of shaking hands with him was
so great that he was pretty nearly worn
out by the time he reached his journeys
end.
How different was it in the case Of Mr.
Sewam Nobody but his immediate fam
lly knew when he left his home at Bath,
Me, and nobody paid any attention to him
along the route. No committee met him
on his arrival in New York. He reached
his hotel unhearalded. and would have re-
manned there unsought, and uncared for
probably, until the day Of the notification
meeting if a newspaper reporter had not
seen his name on the hotel register and
published an interview with him.
Such indifference to the democratic can
didate for Vice President was not of
course due to any lack of regard for Mr..
sewall. Before the Chicago convention
he occupied a much more important posi-
ton in Maine than Mr.. Bryan occupied
in Nebraska. He was a leading citizen
and at the head of a great industry. He
had accumulated a large fortune and was
an active promoter Of number of enter
prises Before the Chicago convention he
would have commanded much more at
tention in New York than Mr.. Bryan.
What remarkable change In the esti-
nation in which the two men are held
was wrought by the action of the Chicago
convention! Mr.. Bryan is the lion of the
hour. Everybody wants to see him. hear
him speak, and take him by the hand. And
Mr.. Sewan is practically neglected and
almost forgotten.

clearly that they intend to have a war

rather have it said that Spain yielded to
great power instead Of a lot of badly

The insurgents are stronger now appar-

promise to be successful.
The prospects for Cuba's freedom are
brighter than ever before. Spain cannot
carry on the war much longer, while the
insurgcnt forces can be kept in the field
for a long time yet Spain will not be able
to find pretext for a war with this coun-
try that would be recognized by other Eu-

sequently she Will have to acknowledge
