SEALING QUESTIONS
Attorneys Arguments Begun Before
sr the Commission

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. 2.-Mr. Bod
we'll opened his address before the Ber-
ing sea commission this morning. He
took up the question Of the effect of
domicile on nationality and. asked the
commission to consider that the claims
were not individual, but national Mr..
Bodwell termed as absurd the claims OF
the United States brief that the money
award by the commission would be PAID
to the queen OF England as trustee. He
claimed that the queen received such
money as a prerogative, to be paid over
to the individuals who suffered Mr.
Bodwell contended that the question of
compens ton to individuals depended
on damage done by seizure, and the as
Stunning of the rights of England by the
United States must also be taken into
consideration. He argued that unless
England can show international wrong
she would not have any case, however
great the damage. Any person domi-
ciled in British territory and owing Eng
land temporary allegiance had a right
to the protection Of the British crown
Mr. Dickinson remarked that the Brit
ish government, in all cases did not
neglect to press claims in regard to indi-
viduals
Bodwell. answering, stated that the
commission had been esta blished by
written agreement and that the commits
sion would have to consult that docu-
ment to ascertain its position. The ques-
tions were Of International law, and tht

THE HEATHEN

with apologies to Rudyard Kipling.)
The heather in his folly eats anything
that's good,

He dies, gray-haired and weary, at fore

And what most sorely vexes him is that
he can't eat then.

Keep away from cabbage, cornneid peas
and rice.
Never eat thing that's sweet, and al
ways eat it cold
And thus you'll save your intellect from
growing stale and old.
The heather has three meals a day and
sometimes one at night
He thinks his early breakfast to be his in
born right;
He rises in the morning and hears his hum
ger call =.
He never heard that science proves it isn't
there at all.
Keen away from breakfast, keep away
from tea,
Keep away from lunches, wherever they
may be.
NEVER let your mluQay meal pe eltnel

And every morsel you may take, b.
careful which is which.
The heather drinks the water that bubble!
from the spring,
He thinks that If it slakes his thirst It 1!

He'll kiss his sweetheart on the lips in
stead of on the chin.
And not suspect that he commits scien

worms and flies,
Keep away from insects Of every sor
and size.
Never breathe a microbe In unless 70,

For he may be the chicken-pox, tn
measles and the gout.
The heather fills his system with deadl

He works until he's tired and rests NOR

He sets his brain in action when 1t shoul

And then he adds dyspepsia to his man

The Wife of the Secretary of State

Mrs. John Sherman, wife of the secre-
tary of state, is one Of the most notice
ably handsome women one sees driving
on the country roads these summer af-
ternoons in beautifully turned out vic
;oria, with the handsomest of horses and
an English groom and coachman as per-
fectly set up and liveried as anyone sees
in Hyde park during London season.
There is no air of ostentation, nothing
loud or money-proclaiming about this
gentle grande-dame, either in herself or
her equipage; the liveries, her turnout,
her dress, all bespeak the elegance that
belongs to the true gentlewoman. The
Shermans, by the way, have, I believe,
about as good right to call themselves
aristocrats as any Americans of today,
for they have for many generations been
people of means and culture. Mrs Sher-
mans hair is almost white, and is waved
and parted above the gentlest, most wo-
manly brow, while her bright blue eyes
have that bright young Joy in them that
good and happy women always keep
there. Her complexion is wonderfully
| fresh and fair. She has learned, in truth
the art of growing old gracefully.-Wash-
| ington letter to the Atlanta Constitu-
| ton.

No Offers Made

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Attorney-
General McKenna's attention was called
tonight to a statement published in
Boston in connection with the meeting
of the government directors of the Union
Pacific that there was hitch in the
reorganization plans, due in part to the
fact that the department Of justice
wanted the Union Pacific reorganizers
to pay about $5O0O,00O more to the gov
ernment. McKenna stated that no such
proposition had been made, nor had the
government made any proposition. The
Boston publication also referred to a
possible government loan of a large
amount or an issue of paper money. if
the federal authorities undertook to
operate the Union Pacific. AS to this
subject, McKenna said he had no infor-
nation. and it appears to be purely con-
jectural, based on the remote conting-
ency that the government will operate
this and other railroads now in default
on subsidy.

Four Feet of Water Running Through

storms ever experienced at this place
began about midnight last night, with
heavy flashes of lightning without thun-

inches of rain fell before daybreak. The
country was covered with water, but it
ran off in short time. About noon the
water from a cloudburst in the San ia

flooding the valley with stream of
water four feet deep and twenty feet
wide, which is now running between the

much damage has been done so far as

road was washed out in places, but

Aristotle said Of tragedy that 1t not
merely excited but also purified the
emotions of pity and terror. 1t has al
ways seemed to me that it might be said
of music, in a wider sense, that it puri-
fies the emotional part OF our nature.
1t supplies a language for ineffable
thoughts and feelings, and reacts upon
them, calming, elevating them, lifting
all that is selfish in them to higher
plane, by bringing other souls into a
subtle communion with our own. 1t has
been we'll said, the Musician converts
by his alchemy the common stuff of pain
and joy into music" I need make no
apology for drawing attention to this
guiding and controlling power Of music
to those who are accustomed to consider
education in its widest sense, as con-
cerned, that is. not merely with the in
F.! tellectual faculties, but with the emo
tional and moral side Of mans nature
also. True educators ought to be much
occupied with this problem of evoking
and controlling the emotions of their
pupils, so as to arrive at true balance
of character. Among the Greeks the part
played by music was so clearly recog-
nized that this study took a prominent
place in education. It is true that they
included under the term music more
| than we do now, namely, poetry, histo-
ry, and in fact all that helps to render
| the character well balanced.-Londor

In the meantime there is no danger

1t would appear that her release from
prison Is only question of time. The
evening before Gen. Weyler started TO-
the front he wrote, with his own hand
a most friendly letter TO Consul-Gen

Weyler said in his letter that as the cas-
was still sub-judico he could now d.
nothing, but she would be brought t.
trial very shortly.
The recent agitation in the American
press, Gen. Weyler continued, made hi
favorable action difficult but he trust
ed that when the time came he woult
see his way to accede to Gen. Lees re
quest. This means that Gen. Weyler il
disposed to pardon the girl.
