The Pops have a great TODD over a
canard that a Republican candidate
once sent of for some wheels. The
Pops don't have to send of for wheels.
They have 'em in their heads, already
painted red, white and blue. That's
where they have the advantage. The
Pops heads are SO full Of wheels that
they see 'em everywhere.

Interesting Reception to Visiting

From TUESDAYS Daily.l

lFrom Tuesdays Daily.1
A pleasant reception at the home
Of Mrs. M. A. Schiveley was given
last night to the rs delegates to the
temperance woman's convention. All
enjoyed the evening greatly.
The semi-annual session OF the
Fifth district W. c. 7. U. opened at
the NJ. E. church this morning, Mrs.
L. A. Case presiding. Mrs. Tippin
led the devotional exercises. Then
followed routine business and a re.
port by the secretary, Mrs. Story Of
the last convention.
Mrs. Hutchinson, state treasurer,
spoke briefly, also Rev. W. c.
Wheeler Of Chapman.
County presidents reports were
presented. Mrs. Tippin told Of some
discouraging features in her field and
the strong work done by officers.
Mrs. Strain Of Cloud told Of good
work there. Mrs. Harger reported
work that held its own in Dickinson
county in spite Of loss by death and
removal. She outlined prospective
parlor meetings and gave hints on
press work. Mrs. Wheeler Of Ottawa
read a report in which the only dis.
couraging point was the dread Of un-
popularity and ridicule Of non-mem-
bers preventing in a measure more
extended work. Miss Fletcher Of Ri
ley county began report with . few
not very encouraging words, but
gathered courage as she proceeded
and finally presented a goodly list Of
work accomplished.
Rev. Smith of Abilene was then in
troduced to the convention.
Systematic Giving" by Mrs.
Tippin was next taken up, and she
called for an experience meeting.
Mrs. Hutchinson said she had prac-
ticsd it for 20 years and her husband
supported her in it. She begged
mothers to teach their children the
Bible titheing system.
Miss Fletcher discussed "Interest-
ing the Foreigners" She said Chris
tian workers were much needed in this
field. Said she: "We complain Of
our foreigners being the back bone Of
the liquor traffic and give them no
help or instruction. Mrs. Grub
has five assistants who help her in
meeting and greeting foreigners dis
tributing literature in all languages.
The session closed with the noon
tide prayer meeting.

President Chester A. Arthur is. in the par
lance of the period, well backed" does
not properly express his presidential rat
ing. Young Arthur is a shade taller than
six feet one. bears a striking resemblance
to his father. and is possessed of the sell
same Chesterfieldian He is far
thinner in general makeup of physique
than was his father, but, in the language
of his friend and host-George Eustis-
Alan has plenty of time to SWELL"
In dress Alan Arthur strikes the observer
as a well-groomed New Yorker, not unlike
a Union Lacquer. There is no "Cholly
Knickerbocker' air or style about him, nor
does he appear as a young man who has
worn a shine on his clothes from frequent
contact with the dry study of law. His
features are rather prominent than other
wise, and there is a ~frankIpess about him
which makes the new friend quite at ease
on first acquaintance.
Mr.. Arthur will not be accompanied by
Senator Plat when he pays his respects to
President Mckinley this morning, nor will
he be introduced TO any other member of
the most august body on earth. Mr.. Platt
and many other United States senators
have Endorsed the young man. but he pre-
fers to pay his respects personally to the
President. and then place in his hands those
papers the consideration of which may, he
hopes. be favorably acted upon.

gaging all his receipts to one or two stars
who will leave nothing TO pay a competent
company. a partnership with Melba is at
tractiye enough from the showman's stand
point, but the combination with the sort of
opera that Damrosch does is artistlcally
appalling and carries with it the seeds OF
inevitable decay.
1t is not possible to support opera in any
country and pay the artists the prices that
Abbey and Grau have thought them to de-
mand. While it is true that some of these
h~igh-priced people draw more than they
cost, it is for individual performances only,
and the general result, as we have seen
again and again, is to diminish interest in
the opera itself. Furthermore, as the high
salaries must be paid at the expense of the
organization, the opera itself becomes less
worthy of interest, and thus the star sys-
tenn works eVi! both ways. and is found to
be practically Incompatible with the main
tenance of permanent opera.

Library Association Organized.

The much talked OF library associa-
ton was finally organized Friday
afternoon of last week, by the adOp-
ton of a constitution and election
of seven trustees for the ensuing year.
The attendance at the meeting
held in h school house was much
more encouraging than any pre-
viously held. While several of those
who had formerly attended were
absent, their places were filled by
Others whose interest had been
aroused in the movement. The first
business transacted was the receiv-
ing of the report OF the committee
appointed to draft a constitution,
which was rsa first by Mr.. Cheadle
and then adopted by sections, several
minor amendments being offered and
adopted. The principle of whether
the library should be free, sustained
only by voluntary subscriptions, or
whether a fee should be charged for
the use of the books, was promptly
settled, the champions OF the free
library being signally victorious.
Later an amendment to impose a
membership fee of 81 upon every
member after the first year. was
also voted down and the sustaining
of the library will depend entirely
upon public bensvolence.
The constitution having been
adopted the following trustees were
elected for the first year: +. E.
Smith, z. X. Cheadle, Rev.. Albert
Pfaus, Rev. Joel Vigus, Mrs. F. E,
Wright, Mrs. G. j. Wiedeman, Mrs,
+. C. Stiles. The meeting then ad.
journed and the establishing of the
library, appointing of officers and
adoption of by laws for the regula.
ton of patrons, was left entirely in
the hands of the trustees.
The constitution adopted follows
