OPPOSED BY VEST.
Secretary Francis Confirmation Meets
With Vigorous Opposition.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The senate in
executive session today had up for a
time the nomination of David R. Fran
els to be secretary of the interior, but
no action was taken.
Senator Vest os Missouri was the
principal opponent of confirma ton. but
he was also seconded by Senator Pugh
of Alabama. Both senators made
speeches against the confirmation and
alleged various reasons against it.
Among others the conduct of Secre-
tary Francis during the campaign Sen
ator Vest referred to the letter which
Secretary Francis wrote supporting the
Indianapolis ticket and opposing the
regular Democratic ticket nominated
at Chicago.
Several senators announced their in
tention of voting for the confirmation
of Secretary Francis, and the prospects
of his confirma ton are good. In fact it
is stated that only a few votes will be
cast in opposition.
Senator White of California said that
while he did not approve of the course
of Secretary Francis during the cam
paign, he would vote for his confirma-
ton. Both Democratic and Republican
senators who are silver men, stated
that they would vote for confirmation
and that it was a foregOne conclusion
that when the vote was taken, the sec
rotary will be confirmed.

ing T. D. CObUrn, secretary of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture. for the
position OF secretary of agriculture in
President McKinley's cabinet. As Mr..
Coburn's name has never been men
toned in connection with the place, the
action of the association is causing
much talk and speculation. 1t is said
that the stock breeders and others in

state are heartily in favor of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Coburn.

GRAPES AND THE APPENDIX.
Ths Little Seeds Are Nos So Dangerous es
HSs Been Claimed.

Tbs Little Seed, Are Nos So Dangerous cs
Has Been Claimed.
Things have htcI lid Itout tie bare
full and delicious juice of the grape ever
since the olden time when Noah found
out about it aud came thereby to grief,
but even before that men ate grapes,
and only within the last decade have
they been talked to about that. 1t is
only since surgeons began to make
money hunting for grape seeds m the
vermiform appendix that people have
been afraid to eat grapes and to eat
them straight.
1t now appears that iii all the thou
sands of CAGES famous, and possibly in
some cases infamous, in which this new
fashioned surgical operation has been
performed there is not one case in
which a grape seed or any other little
bullet shaped thing has been found in
the vermiform appendix. The whole in
terror of the appendix is only big enough
to admit a medium sized darning needle.
Nobody knows what it is there for, but
it must have been useful at some time.
1t is a case of the survival of the unfit,
like the wisdom teeth, which are of so
little use to most people, and the ton
sils, which cause so much trouble now
and then.
The tonsils and the appendix are
both unused parts Of the body and pc
culiarly liable to disease because they
are not strengthened by use. If infiam-
nation attacks them, they are unable to
resist. Thus many diseases which have
been ascribed to p%eritonitis or collie or
u mysterious providence of some kind
have been due to the diseased condition
of this little useless organ of the human
system, and if the trouble had been dis
covered in time the appendix could have
been removed. and all would have been
well.
The remedy, therefore, is mot in avoid
ing grape seeds, which do not cause the
trouble, but i'll keeping as well and as
strong as possible, and in case Of sud-
den illness calling a reliable doctor,
who will know what the matter is.
Somebody once said that most people
use n doctor to enable them to sin
against tho laws of nature with impu-
nifty. But that is u bad use for him.

gradually parting, form u trimming
down the front of the skirt, ending in
immense q%undruple bows of satin rib

with diamond buttons or clasps, or, an
other way, as the cookery books say,
line the lappots with velvet or satin OF
some bright color and turn them into
bretelles, crossing the shoulders and
meeting just above the waist, back and
front. Should any one wish to insult

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Germantown, Pa, Wa Once Called tn
Capital of the Country.

SAIhthl VI the SouhLTy
Apupil in the Boys Grammar school,
Oh Lafayette street, Germantown, was
asked by his teacher when the first
congress occupied the Germantown
academy, located OH West School lane. :"
1t was a puzzle, of course, to the young
scholar, kho was at Il loss to find any.
thing in print verifying such an event.
The facts, however, from which the
false impression has frequently obtained
are as follows: The government nf the
United States was first inaugurated in
New York in 1889, but by act of con-
gress Philadelphia was made the capital
of the nation from 1890 until 1900. In
1898 the yellow fever became epidemic
in this city, and it was in October OF
that year that the governor Of Pennsyl-
vania asked the board of trustees to ac-
commodate the house of assembly, and
a similar request for quarters came from
congress.
AT the November meeting following
the board proffered to congress the
choice Of the school building, but there
is no minute evidence to show that con.

MARCO BOZZARIS.
The Story of His Heroism and His
Death.

Pending the heroic struggle OF the
modern Greeks against their old op-
pressors. the Turks, it is not %inappro-
PIRATE to recall some of the incidents
which marked the memorable reyolu-
ton begun in 1921, and, after a contest
OK six years, ended in the freedom of
the Greeks. That the modern Greeks
are worthy descendants OF the men who
fought at Marathon and Salamis was
slgnally shown during the whole course
OF that momentous struggle. Among
the many who fought and died for free.
dom and humanity, perhaps the most
striking figure was Marco Bozzaris. I'M
mortalized by Halieck. A brief account
Of the fall OF that immortal hero may be
found interesting at the present time.
In 1928 the management of the war in
Arcanaia was confided on the part OF
the Turkish government to M%ustapha,
Pasha Of Scutari, with Isouf, the Pasha
OF Series, as his second in command.
They found such difficulty in organizing
a sufficient force that the whole of June
and July was passed in preparing-a corps
OF 5000 men at Prevesa. Isouf had taxi
en- up a position at Pouda. n village close
to the ancient AETNA, there to await
the Pasha of Thessaly. Marco Bozzaris
was at Katochi, between Messolonghi
and Voniaza with Joncas of Agrapha. to
whom he had been reconciled after a
long enmity. Their utmost force did
not exceed 1000 men, but with these it
was decided they should continue close
ly to watch the motions OF the enemy.
While. however, Mustapha was on his
march from Agrapha to Vracori. fully
expecting to be Joined there by the
troops at Prevesa, the Albanians. who
formed the flower of Isouf's army no
sooner received the field than they mu-
TIMED. threatening the life of their COM
mander, and after committing numer-
u excuses withdrew to their respective
homes. Even Isouf's tent was not SPAR
ed on this occasion. while he himself
only escaped by embarking and flying
to Patras with a few of his attendants.
The cause Of this mutiny and desertion
was afterwards traced to Omer Vrioni,
another Turkish leader. who had be-
come Jealous OF Isouf's military fame
and determined to strip him Of all means
